President Donald Trump said Saturday that he has offered Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the role 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,” Trump announced on Truth Social.

The surreal announcement was met by an equally uncanny response, with the longtime Trump ally appearing to accept the offer.

White posted a picture of himself in front of the briefing podium on his Instagram story that read, “On to the next chapter.“

In a second story, White shared a screenshot of the president’s Truth Social post offering him the job.

Trump said he asked White to bring on several mixed martial artists as assistants — two of whom are Russian nationals — and added, “We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left.” Trump then implored White to “please take the job!”

White, a millionaire who has been a vocal supporter of the president, does not appear to have any professional experience that would qualify him for the role as the White House’s chief public communicator.

White did not immediately respond to MS NOW’s request for comment. The White House has not publicly confirmed that White will assume the position.

White’s first-of-its-kind UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House in June to mark Trump’s 80th birthday came under intense ethics scrutiny, costing an estimated $60 million.
