This is a joint D-Day proclamation by the world leaders who were present at the 75th anniversary commemoration of the event.
And, yes, that’s Donald’s signature, way at the top.
Who signs a document, all by itself, at the very top, when everyone else is signing it, together, at the bottom the way one does? Why would he do that?
I can think of only three reasons.
- He was the last to sign and there was no room left at the bottom. This seems unlikely. I cannot imagine Trump allowing himself to be the last to sign the document after all those other people. He’d elbow his way to the front. He’d pitch a fit because, as the President of the United States, reasons, reasons, reasons.
But even if he was the last to sign … there was plenty of room in the margins, as at least two other signatories demonstrated. - As President of the United States, he decided his name needed to be in top. Preferably in lights. I’m surprised he didn’t ask for another, brighter color pen, plus a highlighter to draw a circle around his Most Important Signature.
- People who are suffering from cognitive problems sometimes have problems figuring out where they are supposed to sign something. Especially when there’s not a big line with an X in front of it.
Of course, I also don’t believe that Donald agrees with half the sentiments in that proclamation, assuming he even read it. “Democracy, tolerance, and the rule of law”? “Shared values”? “Work together as allies and friends”? “Work constructively as friends and allies to find common ground where we have differences of opinion”? “Work together to resolve international tensions peacefully”? Does any of that sound like Donald Trump or what passes for his foreign international economic policy?
I suppose we’re lucky he decided to sign it at all.
I try to see your side, I read what you read, and I have to tell you, elite-leftist are down right mean and love to be cruel. Could your life endure such scrutiny? I doubt anyone’s could.
Wise people say that love and hatred make use blind to the truth. I hope you find happiness in what you do and can achieve. I know you won’t respond, that’s been your M.O. of late. Just like when we were younger, when John or myself didn’t do it just the way you wanted, you got upset and left.
Gosh, Mike, you make it so attractive for me to respond, between attributing negative motivations to me, constantly wishing I’ll find greater wisdom, and shotgunning talking point responses that would take an hour to craft an answer to. But, hey, you tracked me down on Twitter, so maybe the shorter format will encourage me to respond over there.
Oh, and I haven’t invited my life to “such scrutiny” because I haven’t run for President, or declared myself the smartest and wisest and most respected guy around. And if I was handed a public document to sign and signed it at the top instead of at the bottom, I’d kind of expect people to wonder why the heck I’d done that, too.
“I cannot imagine Trump allowing himself to be the last to sign”
Why not? He kept everyone waiting for 15 minutes at a D-day event while he chatted to a journalist. Be fashionably late, as they say.
