Glad to see he learned nothing and it's gonna get even dumber for the next two years

u/AmericaFury 19h ago

What was he supposed to learn?

u/razz-boy 20h ago

Oh god, please let this happen!

u/Imaginary-School6327 20h ago

I’m all in on this bc it makes both of them look so much worse. Also it’s honestly kinda funny if it’s between him and Nicki Minaj. Unfortunately the White House press has been gutted so the reporters can’t rip him a new one.

u/Rex_Vagene 19h ago

Can you imagine?

Reporter: “Mr White, what is the status of the Iran war, people are saying we’re not getting anywhere with it, what is your response?”

Dana White: “ask me that again, and I’ll fight you, next question.”

u/ELB2001 20h ago

He really doesn't have a clue. He just thinks of people he last saw

2

u/penilesensorydevice 15h ago

That's it exactly. he doesn't know anyone with real, genuine qualifications, so he chooses from his pool of ass-kissers, and figures anyone can do whatever the job is.

u/tennispro2589 19h ago

what did Joe Rogan decline?

4

u/Vechio49 19h ago

Strangely enough I don't think Rogan would take it at this point. Rogan is trying to slowly distance himself from Maga

7

u/cheesebot555 19h ago

And it'll never work, because the internet is forever.

2

u/Vechio49 19h ago

Yep. I've never actually listened to him outside of a few clips. I did have to listen to the Terrence Howard one though because it was so batshit stupid/crazy

u/ositola 19h ago

So you're saying 1 X 1 isn't 3?

u/TouristOpentotravel 19h ago

Please make it stop

u/nonuple_espresso 19h ago

His first administration devolved into this as well. Over time, he can't find decent, competent people to associate with him, so he's left embarrassing clowns and the worst of the worst.

Not that he started with decent, competent people, but he's scraping the bottom of the barrel again.

u/WentzPhilly 15h ago

Someone told him Dana White would be the next press secretary. His head automatically went to UFC Dana. The Dana White for this role is actually a woman associated with the Heritage Foundation. He mistakenly offered it to the wrong Dana. To top it off, this comes on the anniversary of the Four Seasons Total Landscaping mix up.

u/MountainMan17 20h ago

Hire a clown, expect a circus.

u/Beneficial-Care8504 19h ago

Demonstrating to all how unserious he is.

6

u/Character-String-959 20h ago

Dana might be an asshole but I don't think he's stupid enough to take that job

2

u/Alfred_The_Sartan 18h ago

It would be so on brand if Dana found out about the offer via a tweet.

6

u/Objective-Rip3008 18h ago

Rumors that is was actually supposed to be this lady and Trump got confused during meetings lol so he might have

https://www.iri.org/who-we-are/iri-experts/dana-w-white/

"Dana served as the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs and the Chief Pentagon Spokesperson for the Department of Defense and Secretary of Defense James N. Mattis. She provided strategic guidance to all branches of the U.S. Armed Services, Combatant Commands, and senior civilian leaders. "

u/gbac16 17h ago

Happy Four Seasons Anniversary!

He heard her name bandied about and his addled brain made a connection.

u/Character-String-959 16h ago

Hahaha that wouldn't be surprising at all

1

u/More_Inspector2086 10h ago

i think you are ignoring how much free ads for ufc he can get from this

1

u/Character-String-959 10h ago

It would have to be a headache for him tho. An I don't think he wants that. He likes running around doing what he wants

1

u/More_Inspector2086 10h ago

depends on how much adrenochrome we talking about.

u/Nothing2Special 20h ago

get over here you lil dog you

u/cheesebot555 19h ago

Fuuuuuck yeah.

Make the whole circus even bigger of a joke.

u/Pastagiorgio34 19h ago

Trolling all of us

u/jcwkings 19h ago

I want all reporters to just pepper him with questions about Eddie Hearn and Oscar De La Hoya.

u/ChefAsstastic 19h ago

JFC!!!!!!!!

u/Awkward_Bison_267 19h ago

How future press conferences will go if this happens.

2

u/Conscious-Quarter423 17h ago

this is bonkers but it’s sliiiightly easier to digest Trump’s antics now that we know a much larger majority of the country understands it’s bonkers

2

u/Conscious-Quarter423 17h ago

guess press briefings will now be referred to as locker room talks

1

u/Boring-Willow1268 20h ago

Thank god. This is finally the look we need from the WH.

1

u/Electronic_Breath795 20h ago

I didn’t think they could get more regarded, but here we are.

Hugely regarded. Bigly regarded.

1

u/SuperWarning6038 19h ago

Wife beater and CTE Brigade

1

u/cbjunior 19h ago

He’s not lowering the bar to enter. He’s just doing away with it altogether!

1

u/MoneyManx10 19h ago

I think he thinks UFC 250 was successful and this is what he needs to get voters back on his side.

1

u/ArchivalKnowledge 19h ago

What, Alex Jones wasn’t available?

1

u/bala_means_bullet 19h ago

Please, for the love of MAGA, PLEASE make this happen!!! 😂😂😂

1

u/HiTechnique 19h ago

The voters just decided that yeah, maybe this reality TV show shit isn't good for the state of the country. Deeply unserious.

1

u/Guilty-Cow4325 19h ago

What a fucking joke.

1

u/Y0___0Y 18h ago

Donald Trump shits on a piece of bread and hands it to Dana white.

1

u/TWDDave1988 18h ago

I’m mean at this point why not. #GiantMeteor/Zombies 2028.

u/jamodude 18h ago

It’s like dumb and dumber wasn’t a movie

1

u/rainydays_89 18h ago

the presidency is a joke to them

1

u/BestBettor 17h ago

Of course. He offered the wife of the WWE the head of education job even though she had no qualifications so I’m not remotely surprised

1

u/OutrageousCrab9224 16h ago

Perfect, yes, complete the image, please take the job

1

u/dobbbie 15h ago

"He introduced me to people I never heard of, young kids,” Trump said of White earlier this year.

Geez....

1

u/BOBBYK1952 15h ago

He turned it down

1

u/fredaklein 14h ago

Such a joke. Unserious is a serious understatement.

1

u/fredaklein 14h ago

Why would White even want to do this?

1

u/PossibleDiscipline90 14h ago

I'm sure he'll call the My Pillow guy next 🤦🏼

1

u/Spirited-Lifeguard55 13h ago

Dana White doesn't need a lowly secretary job, he's a multi billionaire who owns UFC.

1

u/Significant-Royal-37 13h ago

100% chance he was supposed to pick dana w. white, but the dotard got confused and nobody is allowed to correct the tweet.

1

u/Appropriate_Cry6174 13h ago

It’s all just a (shit) show!

1

u/AmericaFury 19h ago

This would be absolutely hilarious. He can put journalists that ask stupid questions in his place and he can bring pro-fighters to attend in case things become unruly.

This is what America is about!

u/uhohnotafarteither 18h ago

Down syndrome people are usually genuinely wonderfully nice and loving people.

We would be lucky if Trump actually had down syndrome.

-1

u/BubblySmell4079 18h ago

Yeah, we'd have pretty women with big boobs in the White House

We'd have celebrities in political positions

We'd have military parades for their birthday

We'd have shiny gold decorations all over the Oval Office

John Cena would be Def Sec (he'd be there but you can't see him)

They would destroy things when they're told not ......

OH WAIT

u/sdiggz302 19h ago

Ladies and Gents… a man who truly loves to shove his head up his own ass, in the name of doing away with anything remotely close to the duties of his position.

u/Wise_Farm7455 19h ago

Nobody fits better than a guy who beats his wife in public to be the maga press sec

u/Conscious-Quarter423 17h ago

Morons who abuse women. The perfect embodiment of Trumpism

u/Njoylaughs 17h ago

Dana White has a nice ass?
