U.S. President Donald Trump said the idea of bringing UFC chief Dana White into the White House as press secretary was a joke. CBS reported Trump’s remarks.
A day earlier, Trump said he wanted to invite the promoter to take the press secretary post and had asked White to bring Russian fighters Islam Makhachev and Khabib Nurmagomedov onto his team.
“Of course I was joking. White is actually a very capable person, and he liked the idea, but we were just having a little fun,” Trump said.
