You can't make this stuff up...

Trump wanted Dana White -- CEO of Ultimate Fighting Championship -- to be his latest press secretary (White has apparently declined the offer).

The president called White "a violent Fighter and Warrior" and asked that he bring a number of high-profile UFC fighters with him on the job "even though some are not from our Country".

"We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left," Trump wrote, alongside photos of the six fighters.

Islam Makhachev, a Russian, was one of the fighters that Trump suggested Dana White bring with him to the job

All this and more was predicted in Chris Hedges' 2009 book Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle .
