Trump's signature at top of D-Day proclamation raises eyebrows

Several world leaders commemorated the 75th anniversary of D-Day Thursday by signing a symbolic proclamation, but President Trump’s signature looked slightly different than those of other officials.

While every other political leader, including French President Emanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, signed their names at the bottom of the document, Trump chose to ink his signature in the top corner.

The move raised some eyebrows on social media.

Guess which world leader signed his name at the top, when everyone else signed at the bottom?! pic.twitter.com/XPM2lfQfEn — Stig Abell (@StigAbell) June 6, 2019

Some defended the president's signature placement, with one Twitter user responding to Abel, saying, "Not sure that’s particularly worthy of criticism. There is no space left at the bottom."

That's the way to do it when there's no more space on the bottom. Pathetic observation really.... — Heathcliffe (@grayheath56) June 7, 2019

 

A handwriting expert appearing on CNN said that "the size of the signature correlates with narcissism, with ego, with a grandiose sense of importance."

"The size of the signature correlates with narcissism, with ego, with a grandiose sense of self-importance," says a handwriting expert, of Trump's John Hancock.

It’s unclear why Trump signed his name at the top, or in what order he signed the proclamation, which was presented Thursday during D-Day commemorations in Portsmouth, England. 

The document signifies world leaders’ “shared responsibility to ensure that the unimaginable horror of these years is never repeated.”

Without the US Paris would be a Berlin suburb and Korea would be a Japanese slave state.

Dear Stig Abell (@StigAbell), “Rt Hon” Sir Peter Mannion KCB MP, and Chris Cillizza (@CillizzaCNN):

He signed at the top because that where America belongs. If it wasn’t for us, Europe would still be speaking German and/or Russian.

Suck on it, Weenies.

It’s scriptural LOL
Paraphrasing:
The last shall be first.

Trump signed last, therefore he’s first.
He didn’t even use his traditional black pen.

Someone check the fingerprints on that pen.
Are Trump’s prints clearly identifyable?

Today Barack Obama signed his name on top of the D-Day proclamation in a bold statement showing that Americans saved the British on D-day and led the push back against national socialists. John McCain laughed when questioned about it and related it to John Hancock’s signature on the constitution. Bernie Sanders complained that it was disrespectful to the EU and that Obama shouldn’t think so highly of the US. Bernie Sanders continues to trail Hillary in the polls.

From news that never happened - but would’ve.

It’s like a birthday card or yearbook page. You sign where there is room.

At least Trump didn’t sign it with, “Have a Kick-Ass Summer!”

What I do not understand is why anyone other than representatives from Canada, Great Britain/Scotland/Ireland or the United States would have the right to sign a D-Day proclamation.
After all it was the US, GB and Canada that took part in the invasion. All the rest should just say thank you for saving our A$$ES.

The way he feeds/trolls the media is astounding.

They are like house dust mites feeding on dead skin cells.

Given the remaining space, I guess Trump could have signed on the back, or maybe the thin edge. Must impeach and end capitalism.

Could it be because he is the TOP DOG?

Or maybe it is like John Hancock Trump. I like it.

Reminds me of the scene in Men in Black where they are taking the test and Will slides that noisy table. It’s called outside the box thinking.

Trump signed his name largely and clearly enough so that Hillary Clinton could read it without her spectacles.
