Trump Asks Dana White of U.F.C. to Be His Press Secretary

On social media, the president offered the now-vacant job of White House press secretary to Dana White, the organization’s C.E.O., and told him to bring along fighters as aides.

What the coverage shows

All the outlets converge on Trump’s social media post offering Dana White the White House press secretary job, with several also noting White’s UFC role. The Hill, the New York Times and the Washington Post emphasize the offer itself and White’s title, while Newsweek alone foregrounds that the post came after Katie Zacharia left the role last month. The Guardian US, the Independent and the South China Morning Post give extra weight to Trump’s quoted description of White as a “violent Fighter and Warrior,” and The Hill and the New York Times are the only ones that mention bringing fighters or assistants along.
