Trump Offers Press Secretary Role to UFC CEO Dana White, Asks That He Bring Assistants to ‘Defend Us Against the Lunatic Left’

Last week, Trump was asked during an interview whether musician Nikki Minaj would be considered for the position, to which he responded: “That’s a good idea. I think I’ll have to think about that… I’m going to think about that. How about you? You’d be pretty good, too,” he said.

Zacharia served as Trump’s press secretary for just five days before she was let go — the shortest tenure in White House history. She succeeded Karoline Leavitt, who held the position from Jan. 20, 2025 through Aug. 27. In Oct., she announced she was stepping down to join Fox News Channel as a contributor. At 27, she was the youngest person in American history to hold the position.

 

UFC did not immediately respond to Variety’s request for comment.
