Dana White Flies to D.C. With Trump's Press Secretary Offer Open

Dana White has not said yes to the White House, but he is going to talk about it. After UFC Vegas 124, the UFC boss confirmed a Monday meeting with President Donald Trump, who publicly offered him the job of Press Secretary on Saturday.

What Trump posted

Trump made the offer on Saturday. He wrote that White, whom he called a fighter and a warrior, had been offered the role. He also asked White to bring assistants, and he named Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes and Kayla Harrison.

Trump acknowledged that some of them are not from the United States. He said the group was needed to defend the country against the political left. He ended the post with a plea: "Dana, please take the job!"

What White said in Las Vegas

White was asked about the offer at the UFC Vegas 124 post-fight press conference. According to a report that cites MMA Fighting, he said he was flying to Washington, D.C. right then, and that a meeting with the president was set for Monday.

He did not shut the idea down. White said he has "a lot of jobs already," but he expects to have more to discuss once he has met Trump. That leaves the offer open, at least until Monday.

A conflicting report and a long record

CNN had reported that White turned the job down. White's own comments in Las Vegas did not say no.

White has publicly denounced politics in general. He has also backed Trump through both of his terms in office.
