Trump says he was ‘kidding’ about Dana White press secretary job, amid online mix-up claims

Donald Trump says he was "only kidding" when he announced he had offered his friend and UFC boss Dana White the job of White House press secretary. The president shared an AI-generated video of White behind the briefing room podium and UFC fighters attacking journalists.

But the announcement also sparked online speculation that Trump may have confused the UFC executive with a former Pentagon spokesperson, also called Dana White. There's no evidence of a mix-up, as Vedika Bahl explains.
