President Donald Trump posted an animated, artificial intelligence-generated video on Sunday of UFC CEO Dana White standing behind the White House press podium and various UFC fighters attacking members of the press corps.
The animated video featured members of the press asking questions of White like “Is Trump a threat to Democracy?” and “What are Trump’s pronouns?” as current and former UFC mixed martial artists pinned the reporters to the ground or escorted them out of the room. At the end of the video, an animated Trump pokes his head in the briefing room to see White behind the podium and six members of the White House press pool on the floor with stars above their heads.
Trump’s Truth Social video post comes one day after the president said he asked White to be the next White House press secretary.
White, who was at a UFC event in London on Saturday, later said he would be flying back to Washington, D.C., to meet with the president about the offer.
White told reporters in London that he has “a lot of jobs already,” but posted an AI-generated image to his Instagram story of him standing behind the White House briefing room podium with the caption, “onto the next chapter.”
“We have a meeting Monday, so I’m sure I’ll have more to talk about after that,” White said on Saturday.
TRUMP OFFERS WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY POSITION TO DANA WHITE
The AI-generated video, seemingly inspired by Family Guy’s animation style, was initially published by an account called @DrClownPhD on X and reposted by Trump on Truth Social.
“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 wrote on Truth Social on Saturday. “I have requested that he bring with him assistants, even though some are not from our Country, of Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes, and Kayla Harris.”
