That's not him chickening out. Dana just said no and he's trying to save face.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago

It was the wrong Dana.

The person recommended was a heritage foundation goon, but dementia don only knew the celebrity.

[–] NovaVeles@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

That tracks. I say this because of all the things Trump has done, going with Dana barely moves the needle in terms of what we expect out of him.

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 59 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Rumor has it that he heard someone suggest Dana W. White and just went ahead and made an offer to the wrong Dana White.

It's like a Four Seasons situation. Nobody can admit that he fucked up.

[–] Mihies@programming.dev 7 points 5 days ago

I really wish UFC Dana would agree to take the job. That'd be really funny.

[–] Smeagol666@crazypeople.online 24 points 5 days ago (1 children)

On Due Dissidence last night, Russ said that there's another Dana White who has served as Pentagon Chief Spokesperson, who was probably being suggested, but Grandpa Tiny Hands is too dumb/demented to know who the fuck that is. Much more plausible explanation.

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Dana W. White

https://www.war.gov/About/Biographies/Biography/Article/1170857/dana-w-white/

Gotta admit looking at her resume it seems really plausible,especially since it wouldn't be the first time they dropped the ball like that, e.g. Four Seasons.

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Gotta be rough losing a high profile job like that because Trump got the names confused, if it's true

Both of them?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I think they caught the fuckup relatively quick, got in contact with UFC Dana White, and explained to him that Trump is a fucking moron, which he already knew, and that he would need to decline the offer and pretend like this was all very normal. And UFC Dana White is already extremely well acquainted with sucking Trump's dick, so he was onboard.

[–] kikutwo@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Most likely

“I was kidding, but I think Dana likes the idea, and he is a very capable guy,” Trump said, speaking to reporters

I was kidding of course ! Unless...

[–] Le_Mon2@lemmy.zip 7 points 5 days ago

What if you were my press secretary haha jk, unless 👀

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 21 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Maybe he suddenly noticed that this Dana was not a young blonde bimbo.

[–] LordMayor@piefed.social 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Wait until he sees the Dana White he was supposed to ask.

[–] No1@aussie.zone 2 points 5 days ago

"Look at my African American over here!"

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Can we just start calling a mistake a Trump? It's all this fucking loser does, so his name is basically synonymous with fucking up.

"I made a huge trump."

"I'm not a perfect man, I've made a lot of trumps."

"Please forgive my trump."

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 days ago

Naw, trumps should be something you should be ashamed of. Like making a mistake and trying to cover it up.

Patrick was a decent worker, but then he pulled a trump and we had to let him go. If he was just honest about it up front it wouldn't have been a big deal.

News conference at 11 at the Four Seasons (Landscaping)

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 12 points 5 days ago

He wasnt, he just need something to distract the headlines to avoid the desperate midterm defeats, IRAN war, and epstein files.

[–] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 9 points 5 days ago

A very unserious demented man.

Stages of grief?

She doesn't look like Ivanka so he isn't interested.

Also she's too dark for those white supremacists.

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This is a news article about Dana White, the head of the UFC. He is a white man.

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 0 points 5 days ago

I know, jfc there is a woman that has the same name.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 3 points 5 days ago

We can never fucking tell with you, you souless, senile, old, rapist fuckhead.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 4 points 5 days ago

The Orange Pedo is such a comic.
