The highly anticipated U.S. Presidential elections took place just a few days ago. The results were in favor of Donald Trump, who got elected for a second term as the POTUS. Following this, there were speculations about the possibility of Trump’s friend, Dana White, taking on a role in the administration. However, the UFC CEO has indicated that this is unlikely to happen.
Dana White stood by Donald Trump in his post-election winning speech. Not only that, he even gave an energetic speech for the newly elected president as well. Sports Business Journal asked the UFC CEO if he is inclined towards a potential role under Trump’s presidential rule. However, against everyone’s expectations, White seemingly dismissed that idea and stated the reasons for it.
Donald Trump is one of my very good friends. He did a great job in his last term as President and I know he will do an even better job the next four years. I have no personal political aspiratons.

The UFC CEO doesn’t want to take advantage of his friendship with the newly elected President to get a role in the administration. The friendship between White and Trump goes way back to the early days of UFC. The bond between White and Trump grew stronger once the billionaire helped the UFC in their dark days. As such, both even often graced each other’s respective workplaces.

The newly elected president, amidst his grueling controversies, has often received huge roars whenever he has graced the UFC arena. On the other hand, White’s reputation was also further elevated after he was seen constantly with the Republican presidential representative. Moreover, the UFC CEO also has another reason to put his faith in Trump.
Dana White is confident in Donald Trump’s policies to bring changes in the nation
Dana White has consistently shown support for the Republican Party and Donald Trump. Although he has often denied being pro-Republican when accused, his actions suggest otherwise. The United States has faced intense scrutiny for various questionable activities, leading many, including White, to criticize Democratic representatives frequently.
With the change in the presidential administration, the UFC CEO now appears confident about the changes that Trump could bring to the nation. A few months before the recent presidential elections, while endorsing the Republican candidate, White discussed the potential impact of Trump’s leadership on the country.
He’s pro-America. He’s pro-business. He’s all about getting the government out of your life and letting you, you know, run your business, run your life. I think he’s going to help the economy. I think he’s going to bring more jobs back…
