President Donald Trump’s Signature (post 2): Graphological Analysis of his Angular Signature

Post 1 (Feb. 20, 2025) noted that President Trump’s current signature is markedly different from his signature in the 1990’s; however, since both signatures are from his adult years, their differences may mean that he currently contains both of the personalities that they represent, but that his angular one is more prominent in his role as president.

I have just consulted a textbook on the psychological interpretation of signatures (1). One type of signature it interprets—“Cursive with Angular Pattern”—is like President Trump’s current signature, which it interprets as follows:

“A signature characterized by angular formations, particularly sharp-angled strokes connecting letters, unveils significant traits about the writer’s personality and approach to life. Angularity in a signature reflects a writer who is principled, opinionated, and exhibits a militant stance toward their beliefs and decisions. This sharpness in form suggests a mental sharpness in thought and discrimination, showcasing an individual who is analytical, investigative, and strategic. Such a writer approaches life with a keen eye, evaluating situations and people with a critical mindset, rarely giving in to blind faith or unexamined beliefs.

“However, this pronounced angularity also hints at a lack of softness or flexibility, indicating that the writer may struggle with warmth in interpersonal relationships. They might come across as insensitive or rigid, finding it challenging to express gentleness or adaptability. Their actions are driven more by principle than by feeling, which, while showcasing integrity, can also lead to a perception of coldness or detachment.

“On an emotional level, the angular signature suggests a tendency to intellectualize or deny feelings rather than embracing them. This can manifest in interactions as criticalness or an unyielding nature, potentially leading to frustration or tension in relationships. The signature reveals an individual who, due to experiences of unmet emotional needs or long periods of neglect, may develop a hardened exterior, protecting a core that has been deprived of care and affection.

“In essence, an angular signature exposes a writer who is formidable in their intellectual and strategic capabilities, competitive and hardworking, yet possibly challenged in the realm of emotional expression and flexibility. It underscores a life approached with determination and a readiness to face challenges, but also a need for understanding and patience from those who wish to connect with the deeper, more vulnerable aspects of their personality” (1, pp. 286-287).
