On Saturday, former U.S. President Donald Trump posted a short message on his Truth Social account, telling Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) chief Dana White to “please take the job.” The post was later followed by a statement from Trump that he was “kidding” about offering White a press‑secretary position.
The tweet‑style message was one of a series of comments Trump has made on the platform in recent weeks, but it drew attention because it referenced a role that White does not hold. White, who has served as the UFC’s president and chief executive officer since 2001, was not involved in any official hiring discussions with the former president.
Trump’s brief post, which was quickly labeled a joke by the former president, has not been followed by any formal offer or further explanation from either side. No comment has yet been issued by the UFC regarding the exchange.
As of now, the interaction remains a light‑hearted social media moment rather than a substantive development in either the sports or political arenas.
