WASHINGTON, United States (AFP)—Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) chief Dana White turned down President Donald Trump’s — apparently jovial — offer of a job as press secretary in a surprise appearance at the White House on Monday.
Trump stunned the world by saying on social media on Saturday that he had asked White to take on the high-profile post — but a day later the 80-year-old president said he was “only kidding.”
The 57-year-old cage fighting boss visited the White House on Monday, and Trump brought him out for a chaotic news conference in the James Brady Briefing Room.
