White Meets President, Trump Admits Kidding | War Room with Steve Bannon

President Trump told reporters on the tarmac in Palm Beach that his Truth Social offer of the White House press secretary job to UFC CEO Dana White was only a joke, pointing to the list of fighters named as assistants as the clear signal. The role remains vacant after a brief tenure by Katie Zacharia and the earlier exit of Karoline Leavitt.

Dana White confirmed from a post-event press conference in London that he was flying straight to Washington for a scheduled Monday meeting at the White House. Trump later clarified the visit was for other reasons, even as White had posted an image of himself at the briefing podium with the caption “on to the next chapter.”

The exchange lands amid a White House in transition after midterm results and the move of Stephen Miller into the chief of staff role. Longtime ties between Trump and White, including the UFC event on the South Lawn earlier this year, frame the commentary on whether the administration is testing new ways to handle the podium and the press corps.

What do you make of Trump’s claim that the offer was never serious?
