President Donald Trump suggested Dana White, a longtime ally, could serve as his press secretary during a White House exchange Monday, according to AM 560.
White responded to the offer on the record. “I didn’t say no,” White said. “I don’t tell the president no to anything.”
Trump later said the offer was a joke, according to AM 560. He had first floated the idea in a social media post on Truth Social, though the exact wording and date of that post were not confirmed.
An unidentified reporter from the White House press pool asked a follow-up question during the exchange, according to AM 560. The reporter’s identity and full question were not available in the source material.
Trump has periodically floated outside names for administration roles during briefings. There was no indication as of Tuesday that White would leave his current position to join the administration, according to AM 560.
