Trump Shares 1-Minute Dana White Cartoon as UFC Fighters Attack Reporters

Summary
A roughly 1-minute cartoon reposted by Donald Trump shows UFC CEO Dana White, cast as press secretary, ordering fighters to beat reporters in the White House briefing room.
The post came a day after Trump said he had offered White the press secretary job, calling him a “violent Fighter and Warrior” and suggesting he bring UFC fighters with him.
White declined to answer questions in London and said he will meet Trump on Monday, while a White House official said the offer was made as a joke.
The press secretary post has been vacant since Katie Zacharia left just five days into her tenure last month, adding to uncertainty around whether Trump intends any real staffing move.
The video ended with a burning briefing room and bodies on the floor, underscoring Trump’s latest public mockery of journalists amid his long-running hostility toward the press.
