Spice up Valentine’s Day: Ex-Trump press secretary sells $199 personalized videos
A former Trump administration official is selling an unusual (and costly) Valentine’s Day gift for those who might have procrastinated on their shopping this year.
“Hey guys — it’s Sean Spicer, with an amazing deal,” the former White House press said in a video posted on Instagram Tuesday. “This month, for the entire month of February, my videos that normally cost $400 are over 50 percent off.”
Spicer is promising the personalized video shout outs to fans over the website Cameo for $199, calling it “the best Valentine’s Day gift ever.”
“What [better] way to say ‘I love you, I’m thinking of you,’ this Valentine’s Day than a video from me?” Spicer asked.
Spicer said in the Instagram post that all of the proceeds from his Cameo video sales this month will be donated to the Independence Fund, a nonprofit that says it helps wounded veterans and their caregivers.
“So you’re doing something really good, and you’re giving the best gift that you could possibly give to that special person in your life: a video from me,” Spicer said.
After leaving the White House in July 2017, Spicer appeared on “Dancing with the Stars” in 2019 — “losing despite Trump’s enthusiastic backing,” the New York Post reports.
Spicer isn’t the only former administration official selling video messages over Cameo.
Short-lived White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci offers videos for $100.
“White House Communications Director for 11 days. Don’t say 10, it hurts my feelings!” he writes on his Cameo profile. “Either way, it was longer than I stayed in the Celebrity Big Brother house on Season 2.”
His videos have more than 100 reviews, nearly all of them five out of five stars.
“Thank you! My husband loved your message — and everyone thought it was such a cool gift idea!” one reviewer wrote. “Thanks for being so fast, too!”
Another reviewer commented that Scaramucci’s video was “surprisingly heartfelt!”
Omarosa Manigault offers $49 clips, which one reviewer praised “classy, warm and elegant.”
Another exclaimed that “Lady O Crushed it!” in the clip.
But others criticized Manigault, who met Trump on “The Apprentice” before taking a post in the White House.
“The introduction was fine,” one reviewer wrote. “But when she got to the title of my book, she seemed lost and garbled the name of the title and what came after that. ... Can you ask her to redo it[?]”)
