President Trump said Sunday that UFC CEO Dana White "loves the idea" of serving as White House press secretary, though he claimed his public offer was "just a little fun." The president made the comments during an appearance on Fox News Sunday, where he praised White's communication skills and leadership. White, a longtime Trump ally, has previously supported the president's political campaigns and appeared at Republican events. While Trump framed the offer as a joke, the remarks sparked speculation about potential administration roles for the sports executive.
The White House has not confirmed any formal discussions about the position. Current press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders continues to serve in the role amid ongoing media scrutiny.
