Donald Trump Mockingly Offers Press Secretary Role to Dana White

President Donald Trump met with UFC President Dana White in the Oval Office on November 10, 2026, to sign a one-of-one Topps trading card commemorating the UFC Freedom 250 event. The meeting followed a series of social media posts in which Trump claimed to have offered White the position of White House press secretary.

During the visit, the two men staged a mock negotiation in front of reporters where White declined the role. Both parties later indicated the offer was a joke. Some critics suggested the initial social media post was a mistake, alleging Trump may have confused the UFC executive with Dana W. White, a former staff member under the Secretary of Defense.
