The statement from the White House Office of the Press Secretary announcing President Donald Trump’s intention to nominate former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman Jr. to the position of the new US ambassador to Russia carried a small but significant gaffe.

The release declared the president's intent to make "John" Huntsman the new ambassador. There's no "h" in the governor's first name. Huntsman's first name is spelled correctly elsewhere on the document.

What does this mysterious "h" mean? Could it be an encoded message from the deep state? A covfefe-style digital scavenger hunt? Evidence of a far-ranging globalist conspiracy? All of the above?

Trump's stance has definitely softened on the Utah governor, who he once called a "lightweight" who "nobody cares about" during Huntsman's bid for the Republican nomination in the 2012 presidential election.
