- President Donald Trump posted multiple AI-generated videos on Truth Social depicting Dana White as the administration’s press secretary Monday afternoon, one day after Trump claimed he was 'only kidding' by offering the UFC chief executive the job.
- In one video, the AI-generated White walks out of the White House to a roaring crowd; in another, he berates reporters, saying, 'Everyone sit down and shut up right now, I’m not answering questions until you show some respect,' and later yells, 'I said shut up, you’ll speak when I say so.'
Former President Donald Trump posted AI-generated videos on Truth Social featuring Dana White as press secretary, a day after jokingly offering him the position. The videos depict White berating reporters, asserting dominance in a mock press briefing.1
In one clip, the AI-generated White commands, “Everyone sit down and shut up right now, I’m not answering questions until you show some respect,” escalating to a confrontation with a reporter who insists the public deserves answers.234
“I said shut up, you’ll speak when I say so,” he retorts, demanding silence or exit from the briefing.
Despite the humorous portrayal, Trump had previously stated he was “only kidding” about the job offer, clarifying that White's meeting at the White House was for other reasons. White confirmed a meeting with Trump but did not disclose its agenda.
Trump had initially suggested White would be a unique press secretary, stating, “Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other. Dana, please take the job!” However, reports indicated that White declined the unconventional offer, with sources suggesting it was a joke.
The press secretary role has been vacant for weeks following the brief tenure of Katie Zacharia, who left after a controversial press briefing and claims of being a lawyer without passing the bar exam.
“The videos, shared on Truth Social, feature an AI-generated White walking out of the White House to a roaring crowd and yelling at reporters, including 'Everyone sit down and shut up right now.' The posts come amid ongoing speculation about White's potential role in the administration.”
