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.
The President signing a D-Day Proclamation at the very top does nothing to refute the analysis.https://t.co/WKkMw7OwYApic.twitter.com/N3XKMn7rax — OutFrontCNN (@OutFrontCNN) June 7, 2019s unclear why Trump signed his name at the top, or in what order he signed the proclamation, his
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.”
Maybe he wanted everyone to know that D-Day would not of occured at all without the U.S. The media make me sick
Oh yeah, and by the way, at the same time we were single-handedly fighting the Japs.
Whoever drafted and had this document should have changed the margins and included lines for the signatures of each of the participants.
If he was the last person to sign, and signed over any part of someone else’s signature, there would be an outrage over that.
The media can’t stand this notion of a nation being pre-eminent at D-Day. It’s all about the crap that eveyone in the race deserves a trophy. The media disgusts me.
Now you know what Ike had to put up with in preparation, between Churchill’s insistence on going through Italy, or DeGaulle being a major PITA, it’s a wonder Ike didn’t just say “F It!”
Having not only to put up with Montgomery, but be responsible for him, would have driven me crazy.
Indeed. That's that part most don't appreciate about Ike, and those skills served him well as POTUS, next to Reagan, he's my second favorite President (Trump is currently third)
While we had the most muscle left..., there were a helluva lotta others fighting the Japs in that theater!
Perhaps he was the last to sign.

If it had been me I likely would have signed in the margin - sideways.
Greatest President Evahhh.
He instinctively knows the magic of “make sure everyone - and especially your enemies - are ALWAYS talking about YOU.”
This 'expert' left out, "...a grandiose sense of self-importance and the evil desires of his simpleton supporters to re-enslave blacks, throw LGBTQs off hotel roofs, oppress women of color and chgildren and machine gun migrants at the border."
He made sure to make the point it was Americans who saved the world’s bacon....w/o us, it would be an even worse world than what we have now...
Next time the commies need to print the anticipated names with dotted lines next to them, confining everyone to the same space.
