Donald Trump brachte den Kampfsport-Unternehmer Dana White als nächsten Sprecher des Weißen Hauses ins Gespräch und bot ihm diesen Job an.
The White House press secretary position has remained vacant for weeks. The vacancy follows the departure of Katie Zacharia, who resigned in October after just days on the job following a brief and uncertain press conference, according to Focus.de.
Donald Trump publicly offered the role to White on his platform Truth Social. Dana, bitte nimm den Job an,
Trump wrote, as Focus.de reported.
Hours later, the news network CNN reported that White had declined the unorthodox idea, citing an informed individual. Meanwhile, the celebrity portal TMZ reported under reference to its own sources that White planned to meet with Trump in the Oval Office on Monday to discuss the matter.
Initial questions centered on whether the job offer was genuine or part of a political campaign. The Democratic Party had just achieved a landslide victory against Trump’s Republicans in the congressional midterm elections.
