President Donald Trump offered the White House press secretary job to UFC president and CEO Dana White on Saturday — and asked him to bring six fighters along as “assistants.”

“I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Saturday, Nov. 7, per USA Today.

Trump said he had asked White to bring “assistants” — Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes and Kayla Harrison — “even though some are not from our Country.” “We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left. Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other. Dana, please take the job!” the post continued.

White, speaking to reporters at a post-fight press conference in London on Saturday, didn’t say yes or no. “I’m flying to Washington, DC, right now,” he said, adding that he has a meeting with Trump on Monday. He also posted a photo of himself standing at the White House briefing-room podium on Instagram Stories, captioned “On to the next chapter,” and reposted Trump’s message.

Whether the offer is serious remains an open question. CNN, citing a source familiar with the matter, reported White declined the offer — while a White House aide told the network Trump was joking. The Wall Street Journal reported Trump has approached White about the post before.

The job has been open since Karoline Leavitt departed in August. Katie Zacharia, named to the role in October, served just five days — the shortest stint in the job’s history, USA Today reported.

White meets Trump on Monday — that’s when we’ll find out whether this was a joke, a real offer, or something in between.
