Dana White heads to Washington
Summary
Guardian Washington Bureau Chief David Smith discusses the controversy surrounding Donald Trump’s reported offer of the White House press secretary role to UFC boss Dana White. The conversation explores the plausibility of the claim given Trump’s fixation on combat sports and the confusion it caused for a different Dana White, a former Pentagon spokesperson. Smith analyzes the incident as a reflection of the chaotic "Trump universe," where blurring the lines between jokes and reality has become a defining political feature.
