As Donald Trump continues his search for a new White House press secretary, following rumours of Nicki Minaj and offering the job to UFC boss Dana White, one former press secretary is going viral for some embarrassing reasons.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the current Governor of Arkansas who was Trump’s PS from 2017 to 2019, has been promoting her new book online.
“My faith doesn’t just influence me – it defines me,” wrote Huckabee Sanders on her social media accounts, adding: “My new book UNAPOLOGETIC is about how our identity in Christ and Christ alone is the only firm foundation for our future.”
So far, so run-of-the-mill for the deeply religious and anti-abortion Republican Governor, whose book cover promises “clarity”.
The (very ironic) snag is that the book cover features a number of awkward and humiliating typos.
The cover shows a photo of Sanders alongside the words: “Clarity and Conviction in a World Gone Crazy.”
Social media users were quick to spot that the word supposed to be ‘clarity’ is spelled ‘clerity’, and a backwards ‘3’ has replaced the ‘z’ in ‘crazy’.
The post has gone viral, leading to ridicule and suspicions that the image has been AI-generated for no apparent reason.
“Why did you use AI to make a picture of you holding your own book? So weird,” wrote one person on X, while another commented: “They’re cooking your ass with the fake book”.
“Those aren’t even real words on the cover,” read another post, as another wrote: “That’s some ‘Cra€y’ work as a Governor to AI the cover of your own book and not even proof it for errors, knowing how notoriously bad AI is with basic words.”
Check out some of the reactions below:
While the cover in Sanders’ photo is littered with mistakes, the Amazon listing has a cover without any mistakes. Which begs the following questions: Why would you (allegedly) use AI to promote your book in the first place, and why wasn’t the image proof-checked before posting?
“Clerity” is needed.
