US President Donald Trump said he offered American martial arts promoter Dana White the position of White House press secretary.
“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,” Mr Trump said in a post on Truth on Saturday.
The American President also requested that Mr White bring assistants, some of whom are not American, to defend the country against the “Lunatic Left.”
“I have requested that he bring with him assistants, even though some are not from our Country, of Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes, and Kayla Harris. 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!,” Mr Trump said.
The White House press secretary office has been vacant since Katie Zacharia was fired less than a week after she took over from Karoline Leavitt, who left the job after she was delivered of a baby.
Ms Zacharia was fired following scrutiny over claim she was an attorney, despite failing her professional bar examination.
Mr White has yet to comment on the job offer. However, at a press conference in London on Saturday, he said he would meet with Mr Trump at the White House on Monday.
