The wrong Dana? Trump offers UFC chief White House job, internet spots possible mix-up
Trump has instead announced ‘Dana White’ of the UFC as Press Secretary with our Dana having any idea,” the user wrote. Did US President Donald Trump mistake UFC boss Dana White for another Dana White while offering the White House press secretary’s job? That is the question doing the rounds online after an apparent name mix-up triggered a wave of jokes, speculation and confusion. However, the announcement quickly became a talking point after social media users suggested the president may have confused him with Dana W White, a former Assistant to the secretary of defense for public affairs. Spencer T Hakimian, founder of New York-based hedge fund Tolou Capital Management, shared a video suggesting that the president may have confused the two.
Trump on Saturday announced that he had offered the high-profile White House role to Dana White, president and CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and one of his longtime allies.
