Trump Reportedly Confused a Former Pentagon Spokesperson With UFC’s Dana White, Then Picked the Fighter Anyway

Word is spreading that Donald Trump’s pick for White House press secretary started with a mix-up.

An aide recommended Dana W. White.

Trump offered the job to UFC boss Dana White instead.

Read that again.

Dana W. White isn’t just some random person with the same name. She was the Pentagon’s chief spokesperson under Defense Secretary Jim Mattis. She served as the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, running communications, media relations and public outreach for the entire Department of Defense.

She has stood at a podium and briefed the press on the most powerful military in the world.

In other words, she’s done the job.

The Dana White Trump picked runs fight nights.

And even if Trump realized the difference, he went with the UFC boss anyway. He called him “a violent Fighter and Warrior” and asked him to bring cage fighters along as “assistants” to “defend us against the Lunatic Left.”

Think about that.

The White House hasn’t had a real press secretary since August. Trump had a qualified name handed to him, someone who actually knows how to speak for the government.

He chose the guy who brings muscle.

Now UFC’s Dana White is already posting a photo of himself at the briefing room podium captioned “On to the next chapter,” while nobody inside the White House will even say whether this is serious.

This is how the most powerful office in the world is being run right now.

A qualified Dana White was right there, and Trump picked the one who throws punches.

sounds suspiciously like 跟爱 but nonirregardless is that the punch line
