美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周六表示，他已向达纳·怀特提供白宫新闻秘书一职，但一名知情人士透露，这位终极格斗冠军赛（UFC）首席执行官拒绝了这一提议。
“我很高兴地宣布，伟大的达纳·怀特，一位勇猛的斗士与勇士，已获聘担任美国新闻秘书一职，”特朗普周六在Truth Social平台发帖称。
他表示已要求怀特带“助手”同行，并列出了六名UFC拳手，同时附上了他们的照片。
“我们需要这些人来抵御疯狂的左翼势力。达纳将成为前所未有的新闻秘书。达纳，请接受这份工作！”他补充道。
尽管一名助手表示特朗普这一提议是在开玩笑，但总统发布该帖之际，正值卡罗琳·莱维特离职、凯蒂·扎卡里亚任职仅五天后，他仍在持续寻找新任新闻秘书。
特朗普一直难以找到合适人选来填补这一他个人极为重视的关键职位——随着民主党掌控国会并承诺对其政府展开调查，这一职位的重要性与日俱增。
周六，白宫通讯主任史蒂文·张转发了总统的这条帖子，并补充道：“没错！就这么做，@DanaWhite！”
CNN已联系白宫和UFC寻求置评。
怀特在周六的新闻发布会上回避了有关这一提议的问题，仅表示他计划周一飞往华盛顿特区与特朗普会面。
特朗普在扎卡里亚一次状况不佳的简报会后将其解职，这使得她的新闻秘书任期成为历史上最短的任期。
曾任新闻秘书一年半的莱维特于8月离职，称她希望多陪伴年幼的家人。本月，她加入福克斯新闻担任评论员。
多年来，怀特一直是特朗普最显眼的盟友之一——他曾出席最近三次共和党全国代表大会，并帮助共和党在年轻男性选民中取得进展，而这一群体对特朗普重返白宫至关重要。
“他带我认识了很多我从未听说过的人，都是些年轻人，”特朗普今年早些时候谈到怀特时表示，“我当时在接受20岁年轻人的采访。我问：‘你到底从哪儿认识这些人的？’他们被称为网红。”
然而，年轻男性选民开始逐渐远离特朗普，而一些在2024年帮助他吸引新受众的人物——比如播客主持人乔·罗根——也对他的批评日益加剧。
今年夏天，特朗普在白宫草坪上举办了一场UFC赛事，作为美国建国250周年庆典的一部分，他试图以此吸引那些男性选民。
但这些努力并未取得成效，因为在周二举行的中期选举中，这一群体转向了民主党，帮助该党赢得了国会参众两院的多数席位。
特朗普暗示可能会有更多人事变动。周五，他解除了长期担任幕僚长的苏西·怀尔斯的职务，由他最坚定且忠诚的助手之一斯蒂芬·米勒接任，米勒将于周一开始履职。
“我可能会做一些调整，”他周五告诉CBS新闻。

President Donald Trump said Saturday that he offered the White House press secretary job to Dana White, but a source familiar with the matter says the Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO declined the unorthodox idea.
“I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States,” Trump posted Saturday on Truth Social.
He said he requested White bring “assistants,” listing six UFC fighters and posting their photos.
“We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left. Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other. Dana, please take the job!” he added.
While one aide said Trump was joking about the offer, the president’s post came as he’s continued to search for a new press secretary following Karoline Leavitt’s departure and Katie Zacharia’s five-day stint in the role.
Trump has struggled to find someone to fill a crucial position that he is personally invested in — a matter that has only become more important after Democrats won control of Congress and pledged to investigate his administration.
On Saturday, White House communications director Steven Cheung reposted the president’s message, adding, “Hell yeah! Do it, @DanaWhite!”
CNN has reached out to the White House and UFC for comment.
White deflected on a question about the offer at a news conference Saturday, saying only that he plans to fly to Washington, DC, to meet with Trump on Monday.
Trump fired Zacharia after one rocky briefing, making her stint as press secretary the shortest in history.
Leavitt, who served as press secretary for a year and a half, left her role in August, saying she wanted to spend more time with her young family. She joined Fox News as a contributor this month.
White has spent years as one of Trump’s most visible allies — speaking at the last three Republican National Conventions and helping the GOP make inroads with the young male voters key to Trump’s return to the White House.
“He introduced me to people I never heard of, young kids,” Trump said of White earlier this year. “I mean, I was being interviewed by 20-year-old kids. I’m saying, ‘Where the hell did you meet these people?’ They’re called influencers.”
Young men, however, began slipping away from Trump, who has faced mounting criticism from some of the figures — such as podcaster Joe Rogan — who helped introduce him to new audiences in 2024.
The president hosted a UFC fight on the White House lawn this summer, part of the nation’s 250th anniversary celebrations, as he sought to appeal to those male voters.
Those efforts didn’t pay off, as the demographic shifted toward Democrats in Tuesday’s midterms, helping the party win majorities in both chambers of Congress.
Trump has signaled more staffing changes could be on the way. On Friday, he ousted his longtime chief of staff Susie Wiles and replaced her with Stephen Miller, one of his most hardline and loyal aides who will take over the role starting Monday.
“I’ll be doing maybe a few changes,” he told CBS News on Friday.
