Handwriting analysis: Hillary vs. DT.

Pretty obvious in retrospect -- just look at the signatures. Only the second is pathological.

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/09/donald-trump-handwriting-analysis-2016-candidates-213161


Hillary Rodham Clinton: "a lot of control"

Hillary Rodham Clinton's handwriting is straight up and down. A vertical slant takes a lot of control. It appears in the handwriting of people whose heads rule their hearts. She also uses a combination of printing and cursive. This print-writing is found in creative thinkers: artists, musicians, writers, attorneys and speakers. Also notice that the “y” in “Hillary” is a straight firm down stroke. This strong downward stroke (no loop) appears in the handwriting of strong-willed people determined to reach their goals. Hillary clearly writes “Rodham”—clearly she doesn’t want people to forget that she is, first and foremost, her own person.

Donald Trump: “Me … big hunk of man”

Donald Trump’s signature has absolutely no curves, only angles. Curves in handwriting show softness, nurturing and a maternal nature. Angles show a writer who is feeling angry, determined, fearful, competitive or challenged. When a script is completely devoid of curves, the writer lacks empathy and craves power, prestige and admiration. Besides the bigheadedness that shows in this script there is something else that is rather over-sized—the “p” in “Trump.” This large phallic symbol shouts, “Me … big hunk of man.”

3. In this case the analyzer knew a lot about these public figures. However,

I think anyone could look at DT's signature and know there's something wrong there. Yikes!

8. I love John Oliver's description of Trump's signature:

Oliver at one point compared Trump’s signature on the letter to a “heart rate monitor of a hamster on meth”.

here and elsewhere. These analyses haven't moved on in the slightest from the ones I read over 50 years ago. They use the same words and arrive at the same conclusions for him that they would for a million others.

Trump's signature is distinctive for far more than being all angles. It looks to me like he DRAWS a monument to himself on whatever he's signing. A graphic version of the two-story-high "TRUMP" on the sides of buildings. And speaking of, anyone else seeing a city skyline there? Notably, it takes him a long time to produce this thing, as signatures go.

Are these commonly seen characteristics? (No.) Yes, mention the lack of curves and what that might signify, but continue on. This is NOT a normal signature. What else is there and what does it say about him?

The ones putting themselves out there can't. Wonder what the FBI graphic analysts make of him...

12. I'm not into handwriting analysis in general. I do think he has a very strange signature

and that it does reveal something about his jagged little heart. It's a very aggressive looking signature -- imagine the hand-movements it requires.

15. Scott Walker writes someone else's name.

Scott Walker’s signature appears to be a strange version of “Joe.” It is one thing not to be able to read a signature; it means that writer doesn’t want to be “read.” However, when a writer uses ambiguous letters, it shows deception—someone who shows one thing and delivers another.
