BREAKING: Trump may have accidentally chosen the wrong Dana White for his White House Press Secretary offer.
There is a woman named "Dana White" who is the former Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, more commonly known as the Pentagon's chief spokesperson, from April 2017 to the end of 2018.
She briefed the press from the Pentagon podium, and served as the principal media adviser and communications lead for the Secretary of Defense. She also was a Fox News publicist and worked at the conservative Heritage Foundation. She even started her career as a press secretary for the House Republican Conference.
Someone at the White House likely recommended her to Trump and he thought they meant UFC CEO Dana White, then went ahead and announced it on Truth Social thinking it's his UFC friend, and nobody around him was willing to correct him.
Furthermore, Trump is actively searching for a new press secretary after Karoline Leavitt left and Katie Zacharia lasted five days, so names are being pitched to him right now.
Per CNN, UFC's Dana White has declined the offer, and one aide now claims Trump was "joking."

Another thought on this-
Imagine if the Rwanda scheme had got to the point where it was fully up and running, worked well, and the result was a 48% reduction.
People on the right would have been hailing this as a huge success and evidence the scheme was working.
Imagine if a Reform government got into power and achieved a 48% reduction. People would be shouting about it all the time, and calling for Farage to be knighted as sir Author of Gammonlot.
It happens under labour - crickets

Whilst Nigel Farage tries to distance himself from Trump and his Iran war, let’s not forget his support for Trump and his Iran war.
It's almost like the @Conservatives, and their ministers like @SuellaBraverman and @RobertJenrick deliberately stalled the whole asylum and returns system to cause a problem they could try to use to divide the country... or do they claimto just be incompetent?

In the UK they leave the next day.
I think your assumption may be correct. And yes it is outmoded.

The contempt Republicans hold for the electorate. They take a kicking, and their first thought is 'how can we do the opposite of what they're telling us, before it's too late?'
Disgusting - but it'll probably give them a harder kicking in 2 years and everything will get reversed
🇺🇸 WE CAN STILL PASS THE TRUMP AGENDA! - Republicans still control the HOUSE and the SENATE until noon on JANUARY 3rd - and that is 60 days of raw power almost nobody is talking about!
The filibuster is NOT in the Constitution. It is a Senate RULE. A simple majority - 51 votes, or 50 plus VP JD VANCE - can change it in a single afternoon.
Do that, and the SAVE AMERICA ACT and the rest of the TRUMP agenda pass with 51 votes. The House passes them. TRUMP signs them!
HERES THE GOOD PART! - The Democrats can't undo any of it!
Repeal needs TRUMP'S signature, and he would VETO it. Overriding a veto takes TWO-THIRDS of both chambers. Democrats won't have that.
Those laws would stand until 2029 at the earliest. 🔥

At some point, his judgement has to be called into question.
He can't get anything right and his party is riddled with sex offenders and racists.
Will any mainstream journalists ask the questions?
