Lately, anyone following the news is likely aware of the surge of orders that Donald Trump has signed, though he has only been back in office for a short time.
Trump was inaugurated on Monday, January 20, and within his first day back at the Oval Office, he reportedly set records by signing more than 200 executive orders.
Amid a tumultuous inauguration and numerous images of the newly-reinstated President approving various documents, Trump has become a prominent figure in current news cycles.
The public discourse has focused heavily on the content of these orders, including one titled ‘Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.’ Additionally, attention has been drawn to Trump’s distinctive signature.
At 78, Trump is known for using a Sharpie pen, which results in a bold and unmistakable signature.
His signature is not only bold but also somewhat chaotic. On social media, one user recently remarked, “Tariff Trump’s signature is as erratic as his thinking. No wonder this man is so unbalanced.”
Another person commented, “Convicted Felon Donald Trump doesn’t know what he’s signing with a Sharpie pen, he hasn’t read the executive orders, he simply wants to show off his scrawling, messy signature in a photo op.”
It’s also been humorously suggested that it resembles a metal band logo.
A more frequent observation is that Trump’s well-known signature resembles a type of chart.
“Trump’s signature looks like a seismograph chart,” a social media user noted.
Another echoed the sentiment last year, “President Donald J. Trump’s signature looks like a seismic chart. A good shake-up is happening.”
One person joked, “Ever notice how Trump’s signature looks like a line chart of a terribly performing stock.”
Another Twitter user humorously compared the signature to a lie detector chart, noting how striking the similarity is.
There is even a possibility that this unique signature might be around for another eight years, as a fervent Republican has proposed amending the 22nd Amendment to allow Trump to run for a third term.
Representative Andy Ogles has stated that a decade is necessary for the president to address what he considers the ‘relentless abuses’ inflicted by the Biden Administration during his tenure.
For Ogles’ proposal to take effect, it must secure approval from both the House of Representatives and the Senate, before being signed into law by the president.
