Trump Clarifies Remarks About Asking Dana White to Serve as Press Secretary

President Trump stated on Sunday that he was only joking when he asked U.F.C. leader Dana White to serve as his press secretary. Commenting on the matter, the president remarked that Mr. White loves the concept, noting that there is only one Dana and stating that individuals would not mess with him.

The remarks follow an event where Mr. White hosted a mixed martial arts cage fight on the South Lawn of the White House. Additionally, the president selected a replacement for Karoline Leavitt, who left the position after serving for only five days.
