PoliticsA joke or a test? Why Trump floated UFC’s Dana White for press secretary

Trump briefly appeared to offer UFC chief executive Dana White the White House press secretary job in a social media post, including a tongue-in-cheek suggestion that fighters serve as assistants. Trump later said he was joking. White is a close friend and longtime supporter but has never held government office. A Republican strategist said Trump may float ideas publicly to gauge reaction.
