【视频】跟进:特朗普称邀Dana White当新闻秘书只是开玩笑:周一会面改谈其他事项

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)11月8日周日在佛罗里达州西棕榈滩对记者表示,他前一天发帖邀终极格斗冠军赛(UFC)首席执行官达纳·怀特(Dana White)出任白宫新闻秘书,只是开玩笑,并非正式邀约。特朗普说,怀特本人「很喜欢这个主意」,但自己对这一职位安排「是在开玩笑」;两人11月9日周一仍将在白宫会面,但会面是为其他事项、早有安排。
据路透社报道,特朗普把这次发帖形容为「只是一点小玩笑」,并说帖中附上多名格斗选手照片、称请怀特带他们当助手,也是玩笑的一部分。这一表态等于由总统本人收回了前一天的公开邀约:白宫新闻秘书人选并未因此确定,怀特不会循此帖出任该职。
特朗普11月7日周六在社交平台Truth Social发帖,称已向怀特发出邀约,请他出任白宫新闻秘书,并请他带上伊斯拉姆·马哈切夫(Islam Makhachev)、哈比布·努尔马戈梅多夫(Khabib Nurmagomedov)等多名格斗选手担任助手,帖文结尾写道「Dana,请接下这份工作吧」。该帖当时经路透社等多家媒体报道,GSM同日以「公开邀约」层级发稿,并注明是否带有玩笑成分尚不明确。
怀特本人周六在伦敦出席活动时被问及此事,只表示正飞往华盛顿、周一与特朗普会面后再谈,未公开接受、也未公开拒绝。美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)此前引述一名匿名消息人士称怀特已婉拒,特朗普周日的亲口澄清使这一悬念有了总统本人的说法。截至发稿,怀特未就特朗普的最新表态发表新的公开回应,白宫与UFC也未发布正式公告。
白宫新闻秘书一职自10月16日起空缺,上一任凯蒂·扎卡里亚(Katie Zacharia)上任仅五天即离任,特朗普此后曾表示不急于填补。特朗普11月6日已宣布斯蒂芬·米勒(Stephen Miller)接替苏西·怀尔斯(Susie Wiles)出任白宫幕僚长,11月9日生效。(来源:特朗普)

[Video] Follow-Up: Trump Says He Was Only Kidding About Offering Dana White the Press Secretary Job, Monday Meeting Is About Other Matters
President Donald Trump told reporters in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, November 8, that his post a day earlier offering the White House press secretary job to Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) chief executive Dana White was only a joke, not a genuine offer. Trump said White himself "loves the idea" of the role, but that he, Trump, "was kidding" about the appointment. The two will still meet at the White House on Monday, November 9, but Trump said the meeting was planned for other reasons.
According to Reuters, Trump described the post as "just a little fun" and said that attaching photographs of prominent UFC fighters as prospective assistants to White was part of the joke. The remarks amount to the president himself withdrawing the public offer he had made the day before: the press secretary vacancy has not been filled by this episode, and White will not take the job through this post.
In a Truth Social post on Saturday, November 7, Trump said he had offered White the job of White House press secretary and had asked him to bring fighters including Islam Makhachev and Khabib Nurmagomedov as assistants, closing with "Dana, please take the job!" Reuters and other outlets reported the post the same day, and GSM published it at the level of a public offer, noting that it was unclear whether it had been made in jest.
Asked about the offer at an event in London on Saturday, White said only that he was flying to Washington and would have more to say after meeting Trump on Monday; he neither publicly accepted nor publicly declined. CNN had earlier cited a single anonymous source saying White had declined, and Trump's own clarification on Sunday now provides the president's account of the episode. As of publication, White had issued no new public response to Trump's latest remarks, and neither the White House nor the UFC had released a formal announcement.
The press secretary post has been vacant since October 16, when Katie Zacharia left after just five days in the job; Trump has since said he was in no hurry to fill it. On November 6, Trump announced that Stephen Miller would replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff, effective November 9. (Source: Donald Trump)
