In order to garner more attention without having to address the pressing issues of the world, the president brought out UFC head Dana White at a Monday afternoon press conference. White officially turned down the job.
Obviously, it wasn’t a real offer. In fact, it was likely another Dana White that was in running for the position. But, the UFC Dana White played along with the gimmick having posted a fake picture of himself at the podium. On Monday, he posted a real one with the president in the background.
While this all may seem cute and a joke according to the president, jobs were cut and the beginning of this guy’s second term due to government inefficiency. It would seem planning a ruse just for chuckles doesn’t seem cost-efficient for taxpayers or the media that had to take the time and energy to deal with this non-story.
The good news for the UFC is that White did promote this weekends UFC event in New York.
