Dana White Reveals White House Meeting with President Trump Was for Autograph, Not Press Secretary Job
UFC President Dana White clarified that his recent meeting with President Trump at the White House was primarily to get an autograph, not to accept a rumored offer for the vacant White House press secretary position. President Trump had humorously claimed on social media over the weekend that he offered White the job. White confirmed that while he did meet with President Trump in the Oval Office and even led an impromptu press briefing, he officially declined the offer. It was later revealed that the meeting had been planned prior to the job offer and was related to UFC Freedom 250. White explained to TMZ that the real reason for his visit was to have President Trump sign a unique, one-of-one trading card. This card features patches worn by both White and President Trump during a previous UFC event held at the White House, and it is part of a series of White House card packs.
