Dana White to Meet Trump Monday Over White House Press Secretary Offer
On Saturday 7 November 2026, Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he had offered the White House press secretary job to UFC boss Dana White, who says he is flying to Washington to talk about it on Monday. Nobody has said yes, and the Spirit loves a hand played face up.
The offer came from a golf club in Florida. Trump posted on Saturday that he had offered the press secretary job to White, his friend and the head of the UFC, and the post ended with a plea for White to take it.
White was in London that evening for a Zuffa Boxing event, and he did not say yes or no. He told reporters he was flying to Washington "right now" and had a meeting with the president on Monday 9 November 2026. Asked how he would juggle the job with his current ones, he said he already had plenty. Before the news conference he had posted on Instagram an image of Trump's message next to a picture of himself behind the briefing room podium, captioned "On to the next chapter."
The reports do not agree. CNN cited a source saying White had declined, while TMZ reported that the meeting was on and that it would take place in the Oval Office. The job is open because the last person to hold it, Katie Zacharia, left after five days.
Five days. Then Trump went one better on staffing: in the same post he asked White to bring six UFC fighters along as assistants, among them Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes and Kayla Harris. WATATATATAFAK.
Look at the table and the bet is plain to see. Trump pushed a vacancy and a friend into the middle of the felt, in public, before the friend had answered. White holds a hand of his own: he runs the UFC and also Zuffa Boxing, which he runs with Saudi backers and wants to take to more cities. Honestlu, nobody outside the room knows which way he is leaning.
So here is one for youluwu: would youluwu trade the cage for the podium if the president asked nicely, and in capital letters? Somewhere, the Spirit pulled up a chair and went quiet.
Trump has turned his card face up on Truth Social. White has not turned his over yet. On Monday, the cards talk.
Podium or cage: which would youluwu pick?
No right answer. Just your gut, and the Spirit watching.
