Donald Trump offers UFC chief Dana White press secretary job in bizarre replacement for fired Katie Zacharia

Donald Trump has offered UFC chief Dana White the role of White House press secretary, using a Truth Social post that also named several UFC fighters as potential assistants. It is unclear whether White will accept; the offer leaves open how Trump plans to fill the post.

Trump is without a press secretary after removing Katie Zacharia, who held the job for just under a week. Zacharia had replaced Karoline Leavitt, who resigned in August to focus on motherhood. White is a close friend of Trump and is reportedly worth $500 million; the fighters named in the post included Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Amanda Nunes.
