One Handwriting Expert Spotted Something Very Telling With Donald Trump's Use Of "Straight Lines" In His Signature

You’re apt seeing tons of Donald Trump’s signature lately, acknowledgment to his galore caller executive orders. His autograph is beauteous hard to miss — it’s angular, harsh and beauteous gigantic. Handwriting analysts, besides known arsenic graphologists, accidental they tin glean property insights from his writing.

But, overmuch similar different professions that assertion to decipher one’s property done things that aren’t nonstop property analysis, it’s hotly debated whether handwriting investigation is really a existent mode to recognize a person.

Graphology is sometimes considered to beryllium a pseudoscience, meaning thing that claims to beryllium based successful information but isn’t actually. But the graphologists who spoke to HuffPost disagree with that characterization of the tract and accidental the mode a person’s letters slant oregon curve and the absorption of their pen strokes tin uncover a batch astir anyone, including Trump.

According to Valerie Weil, a graphologist and handwriting investigation teacher based successful Georgia, graphology was lumped successful with occult sciences successful the Dewey Decimal System, which damaged its credibility. “That was wrong. That was perfectly incorrect due to the fact that it is not occult sciences, it’s behavioral sciences, which is much psychology,” Weil added.

“And it was successful 1980 that ... the Library of Congress changed that and moved america retired of the occult sciences and enactment america into 3 antithetic fields,” Weil said. “We’re successful forensics, we are successful quality assets unit enactment and we’re successful diagnostic psychologies. So we are successful 3 antithetic fields. We’re nary longer listed successful the occult.”

And portion determination are studies that find flaws successful graphology, determination are besides studies that support its methods, said Sheila Lowe, a forensic handwriting examiner and author successful California.

Our existent president adjacent once claimed that helium himself is a handwriting expert successful a station connected X (formerly known arsenic Twitter). We asked graphologists to instrumentality a look astatine Trump’s handwriting and his signature and stock what his penning indicates successful presumption of his personality.

It’s up to you whether you privation to judge that graphology unveils parts of someone’s character, but the graphologists we spoke to accidental our writing, and Trump’s writing, speaks volumes. Here’s what they told us.

Overall, a signature shows however you privation to beryllium viewed by others — and successful Trump’s case, that means a fewer precise circumstantial things.

Signatures correspond however you anticipation to beryllium seen by others, said Weil, and not however you consciousness astir yourself oregon however you subordinate to those astir you. (That’s wherever investigation of your existent handwriting comes in.)

“There’s a batch of signifier to signatures, and remember, that’s the 1 happening that you constitute much consistently passim your beingness than thing else. You constitute your signature implicit and implicit and implicit again,” added Weil.

When it comes to Trump’s signature, Weil noted that the letters mostly look the same, truthful it’s hard to marque retired the idiosyncratic characters successful his signature. “The ambiguity down his signature says that you ne'er truly get to cognize the existent me. He keeps that much private,” Weil said.

“He wants to beryllium seen arsenic beardown and bold and idiosyncratic that you don’t messiness with. That’s what I get from that signature,” Lowe noted.

This tin beryllium seen successful the deficiency of abstraction betwixt the letters and words successful his signature, Lowe said. Its compact quality is conserving and controlling the space, she noted.

“So, this is idiosyncratic who has a beardown request to consciousness similar he’s successful power of his environment, which tin marque him travel connected beardown successful protecting that truthful this is manifested by the mode helium acts successful an authoritarian manner, dominating the environment, conscionable taking over,” Lowe noted.

The size of definite letters is telling, too. “The largest superior missive is the ‘T’ and Trump, which says that there’s immoderate favoritism connected a household name,” Weil said, and added that the “J” successful his mediate sanction is astir hidden.

“But arsenic acold arsenic wherever helium puts the prominence, helium is precise comfy with being associated with the Trump family. And ... immoderate radical volition person a larger archetypal sanction past a smaller surname — those are radical that privation to beryllium recognized for who they were alternatively than who the household is,” Weil noted.

There are tons of angles and consecutive lines successful his signature, which besides mean a fewer things.

“Everything successful handwriting is symbolic, really, and truthful we look astatine whether the lines are curved oregon the lines are straight, and erstwhile there’s a batch of consecutive lines, arsenic successful his case, it’s a batch of aggression determination and perchance choler and things similar that,” Lowe said.

By contrast, curved penning tends to signify emotion, Lowe explained. “So, what we look for, hopefully, is simply a equilibrium — but determination is nary equilibrium successful that signature,” Lowe said.

The angles successful his signature amusement that he’s analytical and intelligent, said Weil, but it besides signifies a sharpness and shortness.

“The main happening that I spot erstwhile I look astatine his signature is the impatience. It’s fast. It’s moving. He does not similar to look back. He does not similar to person to double-check himself. He’s precise insistent, astir to the constituent of arrogance. In this way, helium likes a competition,” Weil said.

This has to bash with the angularity, successful summation to the heaviness of the downstrokes, she said. This shows determination portion the unit of the lines shows the extent of his insistence, Weil added.

To spell deeper, it’s important to look astatine his handwriting, successful summation to his signature.

Lowe equated signatures to the screen of a publication — they’re outward-facing yet don’t archer the afloat story, which is wherever handwriting, which tin overgarment a afloat picture, comes successful and Trump’s handwriting and signature alteration greatly, some experts said.

His handwriting, as seen present successful a enactment to erstwhile hoops player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, tends to beryllium beauteous boxy, which holds meaning.

“The assemblage of the substance is simply a benignant of a squarish form, and quadrate handwriting, particularly successful this case, are a motion of a heavy request for security,” Lowe said. “And that doesn’t needfully mean fiscal security, though it may, but it conscionable means that idiosyncratic is ever benignant of focused internally connected building.”

“A idiosyncratic with this benignant of request for security, you person to think, ‘Why? He’s got much wealth than God. Why does helium request security?’ Because he’s ne'er felt unafraid emotionally. And truthful that comes retired successful different ways,” Lowe added.

The slant to his penning is significant, too.

When looking astatine Trump’s handwriting successful particular, Lowe noticed that helium tends to constitute connected a diagonal, which is seen successful examples similar the supra enactment to Abdul-Jabbar and successful a message to the Police Officers Association of Michigan.

“Whenever helium can, helium writes connected a diagonal, and it’s benignant of a rebellious thing, you know? I’m going to bash things my ain mode due to the fact that different radical don’t usually bash that,” Lowe said.

In summation to penning connected a diagonal, his signature tends to beryllium slanted, which signifies that he’s outgoing, said Weil.

Experts accidental the ‘communication letters’ successful his handwriting are obstructed, which is telling.

“The different happening that’s important astir his penning is that there’s usually a small hook signifier successful galore of the ovals, the ‘Os,’ and that ... successful handwriting analysis, that is mostly considered a motion of idiosyncratic who is little than truthful,” said Lowe.

O’s are considered connection letters. “They should beryllium unfastened and clear, wide communication, but erstwhile there’s interference successful there, worldly that doesn’t belong, it interferes with wide communication,” Lowe noted.

His usage of a thick, felt pen speaks volumes, too.

“He ever uses, I mean, virtually ever uses, a heavy felt pen,” Lowe said.

Not lone bash the thick, wide and acheronian lines springiness a feeling of power, but you “can person each the accent without a batch of the work,” said Weil. Meaning, you don’t request overmuch unit to make a bold line.

Lowe said folks who often usage a heavy felt pen “like each the trappings of the bully life.”

“I cognize helium doesn’t drink, but successful general, good vino and bully nutrient and beardown colors and things similar that, but without putting a batch of vigor into getting them. They conscionable privation it to travel easily,” Lowe noted.

“I similar to accidental that handwriting reveals a batch of truly important accusation astir a person, but it doesn’t archer everything,” Lowe said. “We can’t say, ‘Oh yeah, I tin archer everything astir you from your handwriting,’ but determination are definite things — those societal skills, oregon societal style, intelligence style, authorities of the ego ... but we surely can’t archer each your circumstantial secrets.”

Trump’s property is his and his alone, conscionable similar his handwriting and signature. You tin take to work into the meaning down his penning benignant oregon fto his nonstop actions pass your thoughts connected his personality. Nonetheless, though, some his bold signature and his bristly property look intentional.
