Donald Trump stated on Sunday that his earlier claim about offering the job of White House spokesperson to Dan White was a joke. Dan White is the chief executive of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
Trump made this statement while returning to the White House from a beach club in Florida. He explained that he wanted to inject a bit of humour by imagining White in the briefing room, surrounded by fighters.
According to Trump, had White taken charge of the briefing room with six fighters by his side, journalists would not have "joked" so much with him.
Dan White is known for his association with combat sports, which Trump used for a humorous depiction of a situation where fighters would stand by the spokesperson at a press conference.
This statement highlights Trump's humorous approach to communication with the media.
