A few hours before calling C-SPAN, Trump held an unscheduled White House news conference alongside UFC CEO Dana White, his longtime friend and political supporter, where many of the same topics were discussed.
The president brought White to the briefing-room podium after publicly floating him as a possible White House press secretary.
White told reporters that he had “zero political aspirations.” At the end of the appearance, Trump asked him directly whether he wanted the press secretary job, but White declined, saying: “Thank you for the offer, sir. I do not want to be in politics.”
