This is too funny. Trump seems to be desperate, or his mind has finally gone, or he was joking. That last one seems pretty far out there. Trump doesn’t joke. He’ll curse in public at press gaggles, but he doesn’t joke. Then what the hell was he thinking? Dana White is neither blonde nor female. He’s not particularly good to look at. He’s not bad, either, just boringly middle of the road. He has no … well, ok, he does have a good look when he’s smiling. Google is your friend for searches. And Raw Story is a good place to start.
But what in the HAIL was Trump thinking? Do we know if he can lie with a straight face? Does he own a suit? People should have a lot of questions about this. For heaven’s sake, he’s the chief of the UFC! Trump has slobbered over him for a long time, going to MMA bouts wearing a suit. Someone gave him the winner’s belt. And we all know about the bouts and the cage match on the South Lawn, which killed a whole bunch of grass. It’s ugly now and didn’t need to be. Let’s all hope it can be restored.
It boggles the mind to think of him as press secretary. Although, considering what he leads, he could go into politics easily, since he has to talk up the bouts and what the UFC is. All he might have to do is study the news for a few days to soak it in, and then he would be fine. He should especially study the “fake news” so he knows what it is and is prepared to call it such, even if it’s true. The blue-nami is a good place to start. Trump is hating life right now, when he will have a full Democratic Congress to try and wheedle his agenda through.
Ha. The latest news says NOPE. He declined the request. Apparently, it was a fact. That takes the fun out of this column, but I’m going to add more, knowing that it was a reality. The response showed up on CNN, according to my husband, so let’s see what’s there….
Not much, it turns out. One person said Trump was joking, but only 1. Dana White has turned down the offer. Gee, that could have been highly entertaining, if nothing else. Well, just burst my bubble. From CNN:
President Donald Trump said Saturday that he offered the White House press secretary job to Dana White, but a source familiar with the matter says the Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO declined the unorthodox idea. While one aide said Trump was joking about the offer, the president’s post came as he’s continued to search for a new press secretary following Karoline Leavitt’s departure and Katie Zacharia’s five-day stint in the role.
Trump has struggled to find someone to fill a crucial position that he is personally invested in — a matter that has only become more important after Democrats won control of Congress and pledged to investigate his administration.
Yea, Katie Zacharia crashed and burned. That’s what happens when someone gets thrown into a press conference with no information. She might have done better if she had at least had some time to prep on current situations with the White House. Oops. This is starting to get entertaining with the lack of a press secretary. He doesn’t want sumo wrestler Steven Cheung out in public. He’s ghastly. And Dana White said no thanks. We will wait until Trump tries again. May he continue to be stymied for a long time. More laughs for us.
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that, of all the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking is the ability to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
