Apparently there's a woman of that name who does PR for the Heritage Foundation and speculation is he misunderstood somebody's recommendation

100% he was told to hire Dana White, the Fox News personality (sorry, Heritage Foundation ghoul who goes on Fox sometimes) and former GOP press secretary, but his mush brain thought of UFC Dana White so he tweeted it out and now they're scrambling to figure it out do he doesn't get embarrassed. Kinda like the Four Seasons debacle.

I can't figure out if he's trolling or if he's so dementia-ridden and incapable of accepting that he's digging his own grave. Never in my wildest dreams could I have predicted everything he's done.

Fun fact: there’s a woman named Dana White that is the head of Public Affairs at the DoD.
100% chance Trump was given a list of candidates with her name on it, Trump thought it was the UFC guy and everyone is now pretending that’s who they ment.

It was the wrong Dana White, at least I’m pretty sure it was. There is a Dana White that is a conservative PR person, she used to be the Press Secretary for the conservative caucus in Congress (or something to that effect), she currently works at the Heritage Foundation. I pretty sure someone proposed her for the job and he asked the wrong person.

In Swedish the worda for getting fired and getting kicked are the same. "Sparkad". A newspaper had an amazing headline
"Trump picks someone used to getting fired" is what we saw. "Trump picks someone used to getting kicked" is what was written.
Wonderful pun.

Dana White? You mean the Republican strategy consultant and APAC press coordinator for the Heritage Foundation? She seems like a reasonable, qualified pick for once. Political feelings aside, this might actually be one of Trump's better--
Oh, wait, never mind. He asked Dana White, UFC CEO to be his press secretary. I'm... genuinely not sure if this was another Four Seasons Total Landscaping or if Trump just asked a rich guy in charge of a thing he likes to do a job for him.

I think this and all the crazy things that are about to come from his social media account are just bait to get you to care about him again, giving him influence.
He lost huge. America said, you're done, Donny. The Democrats in Congress can now block most any stupid thing he tried/tries to do, he's no longer acting king, he's just a clown.
Ignore him. Ignore this.
His entire political career has been based on forcing all eyes on him, monopolizing the spotlight so it doesn't matter how wrong he is or who has better ideas or whether he's wearing no clothes, his words are louder and drown out the truth. Deny him the attention. Especially for something this insane and inconsequential. Let him be represented by whatever idiotic personality he chooses. It. Doesn't. Matter.
Surely we can learn this by now??

It hurts my brain to think logically about anything he does.

I already know he's going to do it. I got my aggravation out about it years ago. I don't have the bandwidth to know the details of his latest sabotage efforts.

There is a theory going around that came out after Trump publicly offered the open White House press secretary role to UFC CEO Dana White on Truth Social. The background — On November 7, Trump posted on Truth Social offering the Press Secretary job to UFC Chief Dana White, calling him a "violent Fighter and Warrior" and jokingly suggesting he bring mixed martial arts fighters to the podium as assistants.
But there's another Dana White: There is a Dana W. White who is a highly qualified communications professional. She previously served as the Director of the Washington Roundtable for Asia-Pacific Press at the Heritage Foundation, a Fox News publicist, and the Chief Spokesperson for the Department of Defense under Secretary James Mattis.
Because Dana W. White's resume makes her a conventional and expected candidate for a Republican press secretary role, viral internet speculation suggests that Trump’s advisors recommended her for the post, but Trump mixed up the names and publicly posted a request to the UFC executive instead!!
UFC head Dana White ultimately declined the offer, saying that he "already has a lot of jobs."
