This analysis, coming to you by popular demand.

I’ve got to give Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton one thing, she’s tenacious. Over the years, I’ve done many reviews of her handwriting and have noted some of the subtle changes throughout time. Specifically I’ve seen these changes in the center of her letter H. While she was the first lady, the shape in the center of the H was more of a triangle, it’s evolved into more of an oval now. This tells me Hillary has a softer side to her that may have come with nothing more glamorous than age.

Looking at anyone’s handwriting one must keep in mind, there is a good side and bad side to every letter and no one initial or letter is better than the other. A lot of other handwriting analysts believe Hillary uses Rodham to define her independence, but I think it’s more than that. I have a high belief in peoples’ initials and the energy that brings to a personality. There are five ‘power letters’ in the alphabet, they are the heads of groups of letters. (D,H,K,R,T) For example, the R is the leader of the creative letters. It’s a power letter, the C is not. The C is the letter of the feminine, it’s nice and soft and doesn’t really like the limelight. (Think of Hillary and Bill’s daughter, Chelsea Clinton, a double dose of the soft C. Do we see her in the spotlight? Is she anything but pleasant and nice? No… Chelsea imbues the letter C.) Back to Hillary, of course she wanted to claim Bill when she married him but to give up a powerful, more masculine letter for the soft, simple letter C? I don’t see it. That is my opinion of why she still uses Rodham, it’s more her. Her R indicates she has great ideas, thinks, is intelligent.

Her letters have very little slant, she’s a weigh-out-your-options kind of gal. In fact, she may play the ‘what if’ game in her head, ‘if’ I did that, ‘what’ would happen. She’s also a worrier and may even make pros/cons lists as a visual aid for things. She’s adaptable, flexible and strong-willed. My guess is, she’s a hard person to get to know, a bit of a loner, but once you have her loyalty, she’s fiercely devoted. She has classic politician’s dishonesty that associates with pandering and dishonesty by omission, in other words, she can skate around the truth without actually telling lies. (All of this paragraph has been consistent in her writing in the last twenty years.)

Mrs. Clinton’s writing has been featured in many handwriting analysis’ books and articles and over time, has changed with her age, but her core values have remained. She’s open-minded, practical, has critical thinking skills as well as creativity. There is a suggestion she is goal-driven and has an appetite for more responsibility. The rest of this election is going to be mighty interesting. Thanks for reading.

It was a true honor to have seen Senator Bernie Sanders speak in Albuquerque a few weeks ago. I can’t say I’m not disappointed, I am, but he was a long shot out of the gate, the underdog. And, life isn’t always full of Hollywood endings where the underdog comes from behind and kicks the wicked witches tail. I hope his message has been heard, that things begin to move in a different direction. I’m glad he’s in politics, I’m glad he’ll still stand as Senator of VT.  I wish him all the best, sincerely. So, let’s talk about his handwriting.

This writing is easy to analyze because its simple and consistent. Bernie Sander’s signature is as clear and straight forward as he is. My first impressions of his writing is that his slant is Palmer perfect, in other words, it’s exactly the slant that is taught in elementary school. This particular slant has been referred to as the ‘teacher’s slant’ as people whose writing leans forward slightly (about 2 o’clock on a clock) have the ability to get along with almost anyone. They can touch the very shy or connect with the very gregarious. Bernie Sander’s writing shows that plainly. He has high levels of empathy, and compassion. He is generous and kind.

He had good old fashion values, is no nonsense and not afraid to speak his mind. Optimistic and ideal driven, Bernie Sander’s writing shows he rules with his heart. There are high morals and honesty shown throughout. Average money/power drive. High intelligence is shown laced with a little stubbornness. That is, when he digs his heels in, be ready for a struggle.

His writing is a little boring which tells us he’s an average guy. He likes his privacy and can handle the spotlight. The signature and writing matches which lets us know with Bernie Sanders, what you see is what you get. I looked at everything online I could find that was his writing. It’s pretty consistent stuff. He’s an important player in the Senate and although it looks like the presidential nomination is going to slip by, I’m glad his message has gotten out there to this country. Thanks for reading.

There are a thousand and one reasons I didn’t vote for Donald Trump today, many of them can be seen in his signature alone.

My knee jerk reaction… He’s motivated by sex, power and money. He’s intense and egotistical and completely lacks empathy. Oh wait, did I get that from his television campaign? Nope, his signature. As we know, cursive writing is a combination of curves and angles but sometimes, one favors the other, like with Trump’s. His favors the angular completely. A person without curves and softness is linear, analytical, driven and focused, and that’s his public face.

Harsh angles imply critical thinking and sharpness, Donald Trump’s penmanship shows someone determined, competitive, challenged, angry and fearful as well as someone that craves power, prestige and admiration. (Not to change the subject, but have you seen Hitler’s writing. Turn it sideways and compare it to The Donald’s. Odd, huh?) Donald Trump does have some of the qualities for leadership, let’s face it; he consistently lands on his feet. He’s been bankrupt more than once, in the limelight, and on the front pages of the tabloids and still has the money, power and enough narcissism to want to run for President of the United States. Yes, that can all be seen in his writing. He’s created his own world, one in which, he is the bully and proud of it. The low maturity level is also shown in his writing, his rash and snap decision making process and argumentative nature.

Let’s also look at the moral compass. Most politicians have some kind of dishonesty in their signatures. Usually they show the dishonesty sign that relates to pandering, in other words, they will tell one audience one thing and another audience the exact opposite. Donald Trump has that trait. He isn’t above deception to get his way either. Being secretive and exaggeration is also shown in the dishonesty categories of Donald’s writing. (He shares those last few traits with GeorgeW.) It should also be noted his writing is completely different than his signature, that’s an indication of a person who acts/speaks differently in public than in private. His private writing (not signature) also shows low IQ and a person that needs the approval of others.

Being a professional handwriting analyst, I analyzed his writing and reported just the facts as I see them. I’m basing my analysis on just one signature and one piece of writing, they were both pictures from the internet, not originals. I have my own personal reasons why I do not support this presidential candidate. One has to ask themselves does he have any political experience to be president? Our country isn’t a business built for profit of a chosen few. There’s no reality show, no bankruptcy or con-college, it’s our country. What Donald Trump’s signature lacks is class, poise, self-control, as well as, charm and grace. He would not make a very good leader for this country.
