US President Donald Trump said he was “just kidding” when he invited UFC President Dana White as White House press secretary. Trump's remarks to reporters in Florida before returning to Washington unraveled a 24-hour mystery: whether the president was serious when he posted on social media last Saturday asking White to “take over the job.” “I'm just kidding,” Trump said on Sunday, “but that's just an example. I was kidding, but then people said, hey, this is actually a pretty good idea.” After the Democratic Party took back control of both houses of Congress last week, Trump has been sending signals that he plans a tough confrontation with the Democratic Party. His most notable move was to appoint Stephen Miller, the main architect of his tough immigration policy, as the new White House Chief of Staff. Trump's former White House press secretary Katie Zacharia was sacked after only five days in office. Trump told reporters on Sunday that as his close personal friend, White would come to Washington “for other reasons” on Monday and would “come see me.”
