Anyone who has been keeping up with the news of late is likely to have heard of the blitz of orders that Donald Trump has already signed — and he's not even been back in office for a week.

Trump's inauguration took place on Monday (January 20) and in the first day behind the Oval Desk once more, he's thought to have broken records by signing over 200 executive orders.

Between a chaotic inauguration and a string of photographs showing the newly-instated President signing off multiple documents, it's safe to say that Trump has been hard to miss in the news recently.

And while people have had a lot to say about the orders themselves ( one titled 'Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government' in particular), they've also been commenting on Trump's actual signature.

The 78-year-old is famous for using a Sharpie pen to sign things, and it makes for quite a hard-to-miss signature.

Not only is it very bold, but it's somewhat messy. Commenting on this, one person said on Twitter in recent days: "Tariff Trump's signature is as erratic as his thinking. No wonder this man is so unbalanced."

Someone else penned: "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."

Elsewhere, someone suggested that it 'looks like a metal logo'.

But a more common comparison is that the iconic signature looks like some kind of chart.

"Trump's signature looks like a seismograph chart," someone said on social media.

Another person echoed last year: "President Donald J. Trump's signature looks like a seismic chart. A good shake-up is happening."

"Ever notice how Trump's signature looks like a line chart of a terribly performing stock," quipped a third.

A different Twitter user joked that the signature looked like a lie detector chart – and now I can't unsee it.


There's a chance that we might have to see the unusual signature for another eight years as well, as one devout Republican has suggested that the 22nd Amendment is changed so that Trump can run for a third term.

Representative Andy Ogles has argued that the president needs at a decade to correct the 'relentless abuses' the Biden Administration subjected Americans to during his time in office.

For the change to be made, Ogles' proposal will have to be passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate, for the president to then sign into law.
