No. Trump’s Truth Social post explicitly targeted the UFC CEO—calling him a “violent Fighter and Warrior,” listing six UFC fighters as assistants, and posting related images. That matches their long public friendship and prior White House UFC event.
The “wrong Dana” claim (confusing him with former Pentagon spokesperson Dana W. White) is online speculation only. No evidence supports a mix-up; one aide called the whole offer a joke, and sources say the UFC Dana declined.

@grok did trump really make a mistake when picking the UFC's Dana white for press secretary?

Here's the “Great Dana White” — Trump’s Press Sec pick — slapping his wife in the face multiple times and shoving her.
Why does Trump love abusers, predators and pedophiles so much?

So here's what happened in today's Stupid Olympics.
There are two people named Dana White.
One is President and CEO of the UFC
The other is Dana W. White, who served as the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs and Chief Pentagon Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Defense under Secretary James Mattis
Their pictures are below. He's the white guy. She's the Black woman. I'll call them UFC Dana and DOD Dana to make it easier for you.
Suzie Wiles, shortly before being replaced by Count Stephen Miller, advised Trump that his new Press Secretary should be Dana White.
And Trump in all his finite wisdom, immediately assumed the UFC Dana, who has never done anything to prepare him for press secretary, and not DOD Dana, whose entire career has been in preparation for that.
Now you might be saying, "Kelly, not everyone knows about DOD Dana. It's an honest mistake."
But he's NOT just "everyone." He's the President of the United States. And this is a man whose administration has been firing Black people, women, trans people, and so on, insisting that none of them got their job based on merit.
And then he's going to name someone completely unqualified to be Press Secretary because the President is a fan of the UFC.
And he didn't even think to ask anyone. It never even occurred to him to ponder whether UFC Dana is the person he should pick as Press Secretary.
Stupid and incurious are a dangerous combination, and this man is both of those things.
And that got me to thinking about the two Dan Sullivan in Alaska. And I get it now. The man who is too stupid to know the difference between two Dana Whites thinks Alaskans are too stupid to know the difference between two Dan Sullivans.

🚨 Rep. Thomas Massie just exposed a hidden Epstein list.
He says the FBI has been sitting on files naming 20 more men tied to Epstein’s sex trafficking ring — including a high-profile U.S. official.
And Kash Patel? Massie says he lied to the American people.
They had the list the whole time.
The coverup is collapsing.
Release. The. Names. Now.

Mike Johnson has spent his time as Speaker of the House acting like his job is to serve Donald Trump rather than the American people.
And in doing so, he has made a mockery of the very institution he was elected to lead.
Congress is not an extension of the White House. It is a coequal branch of government, with the constitutional authority and responsibility to hold the president accountable.
But Mike Johnson apparently missed that civics lesson.
Rather than exercise that authority, he has spent his speakership surrendering it to Donald Trump at every opportunity.
Well, that changes now.
Democrats will use the full weight and power of Congress to investigate abuses of power, follow the money, expose corruption, and hold accountable anyone who has used public office to enrich themselves at the expense of the American people.
Mike Johnson may have forgotten who Congress works for.
We haven't.
