UFC’s Dana White to meet Trump over press secretary offer
The Dana White thing is the top story on NPR this morning which reinforces my sense that this is really just intended to to grab the narrative from Dems and reinstall Trump as the main character. Expect more and more desperate stunts like this - but we can ignore them!
Don Moynihan123It was never a story! News outlets should have ignored it! bsky.app/profile/atru...
Rich Swinton48I'd argue that Trump being the main character is good for the long term prospects of the left. Let him cook.
Ryan36I disagree. I believe an advisor mentioned the Dana White from the Heritage Foundation and he did not know the difference.
Killer Pomodoro25No, what Dems SHOULD be doing is pointing at shit like this and asking if the President has dementia. Loudly.
Lindsay Beyerstein21Or we can add them to our litany of examples of how Donald Trump is demented and out of touch with the needs of Americans. He's doing a reality TV storyline for the same reason he went full real estate pitch mode at the Reflecting Pool.
Kim Nead14After 10 years the media still doesn’t know how to cover Trump.
Michael McDonald170If the 2026 election taught us anything it’s is traditional media is dead as a news source. They have lost touch with Americans and now just cozy up to billionaire elites to promote their narrative and agenda
Schnorkles O'Bork161installing Trump as the main character is how dems win 2028 by 15 so
Doctora Malka Older60remember the lula's whatsapp mega-group media lesson: ignore, ignore, ignore
Hal 1000016This. He can’t stand not being the center of attention.
Kim LaCapria 🧿🌶🤘3this is 100% how i read it, like they're trying to reclaim the fear inflicting machine and haven't managed to
CJ Lemire2Yeah if this were happening in the UK a slew of people would be making dead cat references
Trump on Dana White becoming press secretary: "Dana loves the idea ... of course I was kidding, but Dana is actually coming tomorrow."
PencilSketchy203“Of course I was kidding” no you fucking weren’t.
Edna B.88You weren’t kidding. You don’t have a sense of humor. You had the wrong Dana White.
David Rowinski50Four Seasons level mistake where he needs to pretend it's what he meant
I am so discouraged.38This makes me question if he can, in fact, recognize the giraffe on his cognitive tests!
Erik the Rural Juror23because of course it was the wrong dana white
Cynthia Fraase21He wasn't kidding. He never does.
Don Moynihan123It was never a story! News outlets should have ignored it! bsky.app/profile/atru...
Ian Miles Schlong45One thing you can say about President Trump: he’s a pedophile
David Waldman32Yes, we do in fact think you are that dumb. The whole world does. So, no, the “joke” doesn’t work.
Kate Klonick28Dana White in the Four Seasons with the covfefe
Luke Thomas25There was only ever going to be a stupid explanation for this.
WaterBluSky 🇺🇸 🌻 🇺🇦5Just kidding…but Dana White will be at the White House *for something,* tomorrow bsky.app/profile/atru...
Justin, the grater of potatoes4this is what it *actually* looks like when he’s trying to distract from something bad. he got creamed in the midterms, it is his fault, and stephen miller is the chief of staff.
sherryjustice.bsky.social3This clown is actually a lunatic running our country! Remove him immediately!
John Robinson2Last week was great but we’re still in the age of stupid.
Andyt813210s of millions of people voted for this disgusting moron, not once, not twice but 3x. I hope they all have the day they deserve.
Everyone thinks Trump offered the UFC's Dana White the job of press secretary because he got him confused with this staffer also named Dana White. It's plausible, but can we pump the brakes? There's no reason why the actual plan couldn't be to actually make UFC president Dana White press secretary.
Todd in the Shadows220Yes, but I also remember that the last person floated for the job was Nicki Minaj. Neither possibility is too stupid!
Esme Rylan22Given everything we've seen of Trump over the last decade and change, it's probably MORE likely he actually had UFC Dana White in mind.
Eric Miller15I think the middle option of "Trump was given a list with the qualified Dana White's name on it, and that inspired him to give the UFC one the offer" is also an option...
More Questions than Nine Four-Year Olds8I think UFC Dana is the actual plan, that he came up with… when staff gave him the qualified Dana White resume for consideration.
Marcus V7If the explanation can be achieved by "is this stupid man incapable of noticing details?" the answer might just be 'yes'
Monty Blazar5His announcement about it had UGC fighters in it, called white a "violent" warrior, etc. He knew who he was giving the job to.
The cringe somehow keeps getting worse. Trump shared an animated video showing Dana White and UFC fighters, including Russians, punching journalists during a White House briefing. Apparently, this is what passes for political humor now. #US
Karlos Rovira 🇦🇷🇮🇱🇺🇲🇺🇦🇹🇼17It's the fucking President. It would be humour if someone else did it...
jaimi.bsky.social16Dana White introduced Don Jr to his Russian sugar daddy bsky.app/profile/chad...
Beng8I thought it was a cartoon ridiculing Trump. It make him look ridiculous and un-presidential to say the least.
clawbacks5Overturning tables and laughing at the mess is all these people have
Andreas3Humor? He's just telling you what he really wants to do.
Cannonball Titcomb™1Humor is a word that has no meaning in Trump's pea brain.
It is weird how almost none of the mainstream reporting on Trump offering UFC Dana White the press sec gig is mentioning the OTHER Dana White who is actually a Republican comms professional.
Paul Rosenzweig 13I find it very hard to believe that Trump was willing to/intending to appoint an African American woman to the post. If I had to guess he really DID mean the UFC White.
Kerry Howley1Because it makes perfect sense that he would offer the job to his friend Dana White and not some random comms professional
John Holbo1A secret third Dana White.
herid1They also just sort of gloss over that the UFC Dana White refusing the job is extremely unusual for this type of position. Cabinet appointments are always agreed to first before anything is announced
I hate to pay attention to Trump's demented antics, but this really has be seen to be believed. No plausible deniability just Dana White and the MMA fighters beating up the press.
Zach D Roberts7And the White House Press Corps will show up tomorrow and continuing licking his boots, covering everything he does with they're usual bended knee to authority.
jaimi.bsky.social5Also some of the crew are Kadyrovites, and Dana White is who introduced Don Jr to his Russian gangster wedding sugar daddy per Bellingcat’s Grozev The GOP has always envied Putin’s ability to kill/cow journalists…
tove lovesitwhen2oh, watched it but had zero context for it and had no idea who anyone was supposed to be
📖Misty the Cat Reads Banned Books 😼1Don't take the bait. Too late I guess. He's trolling - ignore it, stop posting his crap.
ChainSmokingNihilist1Sadly predictable that when an abuser is held accountable (by blue wave), abuser will double down and escalate. And he's just getting started.
Donald Trump posted an AI-generated cartoon in the style of Family Guy where Dana White is the press secretary and UFC fighters beat up journalists for asking questions they don’t like. There’s even a scene where a UFC fighter yells “Michelle Obama is a man.” The president of the United States.
Sybil Schwartzbach, LMT3Sadly, this Administration ended Mental Health care....
rockslammer1The South Park version comes out March, 2027.
Erin O'B1How in the name of ZEUS does he think this will improve his approval among, well, anyone? He's so far through the looking glass ... JFC.
Follymarket (derogatory)1K Miller, while not an administration employee railed against SNL’s Elon bit: “It takes weak men to take cheap shots” “This is just a political hit job masquerading under the banner of comedy” Hmm. Both pieces functioning as designed? www.rawstory.com/snl-26783325...
