What Hand-Writing Expert Reveals About Donald Trump’s Signature, Writing and Those of Other G7 Leaders

President Trump is stubborn, Angela Merkel likes to talk and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is ‘cautiously unorthodox’:  and -writing expert reveals what G7 Leaders signatures really say about them.

The world leaders meeting at the G7 summit may have very different opinions on how to combat climate change.

Handwriting is unique to each individual person.  And according to experts that study the incredibly personal trait, it could contain clues about your health.

In fact, handwriting analysis – also known as graphology – can detect more than 5,000 personality traits from the sizes and shapes of your letters, as well as the spacing between words.

But according to handwriting expert Sheila Kurtz, signatures reveal all you need to know about them.  Kurtz studies graphology, which can detect more than 5,000 personality traits from the sizes and shapes of your letters, as well as the spacing between words.

Signatures

Below is a document signed by each leader taking part in the two-day summit in Taormina, Sicily.

The ‘master graphologist’ has looked at each John Hancock to see what it reveals about the character of each of the leaders.

Paolo Gentiloni, Prime Minister of Italy

The Prime Minister’s signature is one with very pointed letters and narrow loops in his ‘l’s and ‘e’s.

Graphologists say those who have small loops tend to be restricted and are skeptical of others.

Kurtz says it shows someone who is ‘narrow-minded’ and ‘closed to anything he doesn’t already feel he knows’.

President Trump’s Handwriting

Above is a note the President wrote on his trip to Nad Vashem in Jerusalem.

Trump’s block printing indicates that he doesn’t want anyone to get inside and know him. Block printing is used in many ransom notes.

President Donald Trump’s Signature

President Trump’s signature is markedly different from his printed handwriting.

His pointy signature is stylized, skyscraper tall, and overpowers anybody else’s. This is a sign of extreme vanity.Such vanity means that the writer inflates her or his self-esteem and brags that it’s even bigger to others, and is quite stubborn, according to Kurtz.

The signature also shows the wigwam-like structures of unlimited stubbornness. The fierce shapes of his signature are meant to be overpowering and intimidating.  Its behemoth size dwarfs any and all of the signatures on the Declaration of Independence and of any previous American president.

Melania Trump, First Lady of the United States

Melania Trump’s signature is stylized and practiced, like a logo, and its verticality looks similar to her husband’s, according to Kurtz.  But it is tight and cramped and lacks any sign of generosity of spirit.

We also see signs of self-deceit, Kurtz said. She shows signs of intuition, which she may not trust and seldom uses. Her signature is half the size of his.

Melania Trump’s Handwriting

Yesterday, Kurtz analyzed a note the First Lady left at a children’s hospital in Italy on Wednesday for DailyMail.com and say it reveals plenty. She has a lot of initial hooks starting a letter, little grasping hooks. This shows she likes to collect and to own things, both material and immaterial.

Throughout there are also little final hooks at the end of words, which show tenacity – she is tenacious about holding on to whatever she acquires.  For example, at the start of ‘stay’ and the end of ‘strong’.

Her letters are very precise and her dots are all very exact. This shows she is a good listener, direct, quite loyal, with good self control even when she is impatient.

Angela Merkel, Federal Chancellor of Germany

She is of the most powerful women in the world, but Merkel’s signature is not the easiest to read.

Indeicpherable, the letters are rounded and don’t slant – and many of them don’t even connect.

According to Kurtz, this indicates a woman who is intuitive and has strong initiative.

‘[She] likes to talk and [has] a vein of envy,’ she said.

Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada

Prime Minster Trudeau’s autograph is quite the opposite of his peers. There is a grand flourish to his letters and he writes with lighter pressure to the paper

Kurtz believes this is someone who is an ‘extremely fast and effortless thinker’.

Someone who has long crosses over their ‘t’s, like the Prime Minister, is very determined and enthusiastic.

‘[He] is cautiously unorthodox, yet overwhelmingly protective of his true character,’ Kurtz said.

Donald Tusk, President of European Council    

In comparison to the John Hancocks of his peers, Tusk’s signature takes up little room on the page.

According to past studies, those who write with small letters are shy or withdrawn.

The sharpness of the letters also indicates it was written quickly, which shows a dislike of delay.

Kurtz says Tusk’s signature means he is ‘secretive, tenacious, cautious, and still enthusiastic’.

Emmanuel Macron, President of France

The newly elected President’s signature is sweeping, with the ‘n’ creating an underline for his name.

Our graphologist say this indicates someone who is self-reliant and a a lot of energy.

Of the sharpness of his letters, Kurtz says this means he ‘moves quickly’ and ‘expresses himself well’.

Shinzo Abe, Prime Minister of Japan

In the most notable difference from the other leaders, the Prime Minister doesn’t sign his name with English letters but with Japanese characters.

But Kurtz says there is still an indication of the type of man he is.

The characters are written sharply and with wide spacing, often not connecting.

This means Abe is someone with ‘high energy, very strong initiative, and holds on tightly to his beliefs,’ says Kurtz.

Theresa May, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

In a similar vein to many of her counterparts, the UK Prime Minister has a rather illegible autograph.

Her letters are curved and there are wide loops, indicating a relaxed and spontaneous personality.

According to Kurtz, this indicates that May is acquisitive, or greedy, in her goals.

‘[She] hangs on tight to what’s acquired and takes the initiative,’ she said.

Jean-Claude Juncker, President of European Commission

The politician from Luxembourg has a very simple signature – essentially a capital ‘J’ with a horizontal line running through it.

Kurtz say this marks a very private person, as there is no flourish.

‘[He] wants nobody to know him until he trusts them,’ she said.

What Your Handwriting says About You

Handwriting is unique to each individual person.  And according to experts that study the incredibly personal trait, it could contain clues about your health.

Researchers claim that small details in the way you write can show if you have a number of ailments including high blood pressure, Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, and Parkinson’s disease.

In fact, handwriting analysis – also known as graphology – can detect more than 5,000 personality traits from the sizes and shapes of your letters, as well as the spacing between words.

Size and Spacing

The size of your letters could be an indicator of the size of your personality.

Large letters suggest you are very outgoing and love a lot of attention. But it can also mean that you pretending

to have a lot of confidence. Writing with small letters means that you are shy or withdrawn while average letters usually indicate someone who is well-adjusted and can easily adapt.

The spacing of your words correlates to your relationships with other people.

Wide spacing between words means you’re someone enjoys freedom and doesn’t like being crowded, while narrow spacing indicates someone who can’t stand to be and enjoys crowding.

Slant and Shape

If your writing is straight up and down, you are someone who doesn’t let your emotions get the best of you.

However, slanted writers are more expressive people. Writing that slants to the right means you are probably open to new experiences and meeting people.

Writing that slants to the left determine people who tend to keep to themselves and prefer not to be the center of attention.

The shapes of your letters are also additional indicators.

Rounded letters designate creative and artistic individuals while pointed letters show people who are more aggressive and intense.  If the letters connect, it means the writer is logical and systematic in their decision making, just like those who write without a slant.

Loop-The-Loop

How you loop your letters indicate your level of comfortability.

Writers who loop their letters wide are relaxed and spontaneous and often enjoy trying new things. Those who have more narrow loops tend to be restricted and are skeptical of others.

Dot Your i’s and Cross Your T’s

How you finish your letters – also known as crossing your t’s and dotting your i’s – are further personality indicators.

Those who have high dots or dots that are circles have great imaginations, almost child-like.  Slashes as opposed to dots show someone who is overly self-critical and doesn’t have patience for inadequacy.

Dotting your ‘i’ right over the letter shows someone who is detail-oriented while to the left of the ‘i’ indicates a procrastinator.

Someone who has long crosses over their ‘t’s‘ is very determined while short crosses indicate just the opposite.    Crossing the ‘t’ either at the top or in the middle are both indicators of people who have good self-esteem and are confident.

Put Your John Hancock on the Dotted Line

Someone who has an illegible signature usually indicates someone who is a private person and is hard to read or understand.

Past studies have indicated that people with illegible signatures are more likely to be arrogant as well.  Meanwhile those who have legible signatures are more likely to be confident and comfortable and are more open.

Heavy or Light

Caption:  How much you press the pen to the page could show how sensitive and energetic you are.

People who write with heavy pressure take things seriously, but excessively heavy pressure can indicate uptightness and a poor reaction to criticism. Those with light pressure as they write are sensitive but lack vitality, or energy.

The speed at which you write is an indicator of your patience. Writing quickly indicates a dislike of delays while writing slowly someone who is more organized and methodical.

Writing Inside the Lines

Where you write on the page could be a mark of how you relate to your experiences.

Writing on the left hand margin indicates someone who tends to live in the past and can’t let go.  Right hand margin writers show people who fear the unknown and worry about the future.

Words that tend to be all over the page are a sign of someone whose mind is constantly working and can’t sit still.
