Trump's UFC animation mocking journalists sparks controversy
President Donald Trump on Saturday shared a roughly one-minute animated video on his social media platform Truth Social depicting Dana White, CEO of the UFC, as the new White House press secretary, with UFC fighters shown beating up journalists in the briefing room. The video drew immediate criticism from Korean media outlets including Kyunghyang Shinmun, Hankyoreh, Yonhap, and Maeil Business Newspaper, which reported on the controversy. Trump had earlier suggested White should serve as press secretary, saying he should bring fighters along as assistants "even though" they might not be needed. On Sunday, Trump said he was "only kidding" about the appointment, according to the Korea Times. Korean outlets noted the animation showed White instructing fighters to assault reporters, with Trump praising it as "great."
