Well, President Trump says he was only joking about offering
UFC CEO Dana White the job of White House press secretary.
This put an end to more than 24 hours
of speculation about whether the announcement was serious.
The White House press secretary position has been vacant since
Katie Zacharia left the role after just five days on the job.
I will tell you, I was only kidding, but Dana loves the idea,
and there's only one Dana, he's great, I don't know.
You wouldn't mess around with him so much.
Thank you very much, Francesco.
I was kidding, of course.
Not just.
President Trump is still scheduled to meet
with Dana White today in Washington.
A press secretary, a new press secretary, has still not been named.
Over the weekend, President Trump talked about what might
have hurt Republicans in last week's midterm elections.
In an interview with 60 Minutes, President Trump said the war with Iran
and messaging were the main problems,
but he also blamed the mass deportations carried out
in his first two years in office.
The president said his immigration policy
was unpopular with most Americans.
