President Donald Trump has brought UFC to the White House briefing room, appearing before reporters with UFC chief Dana White. Trump made a surprise appearance Monday with White, who even took a few questions from reporters. Trump said on social media Saturday that he had offered White the press secretary role. By Sunday, he revealed it had been a joke. Trump said he was having a "very bad press day" and thought mentioning White for the post would be fun. But White said he has no political aspirations. Trump and White have been friends for decades, and Trump has frequently attended UFC fights.
