After his party suffered significant losses in the U.S. congressional midterm elections, Trump made personnel changes in the administration on Friday, replacing the chief of staff, and on Saturday posted a message saying that he had offered White the position of press secretary.
On Sunday, Trump explained that it was "just a joke."
"I was joking, but I think Dana likes the idea; besides, he is a very capable guy," Trump told reporters in Florida before departing for the White House.
White is scheduled to visit him at the White House on Monday.
