1) He did not choose the cover picture.
2) He did not write the book.

And bear in mind JD Vance can write.
His Hillbilly Elegy got good reviews on NPR back before he went over to the dark side.

But this is the sort of book that traditionally gets ghost written by a flunky.

Open questions:
1) Ghost written by a flunky or is it AI?
2) Did he read the book or even look at the cover?
