Melania Trump's Signature Draws Comparison to Her Husband's Handwriting Style - Photos
The handwriting style comparisons between Melania Trump and her husband come after the public discussed an outfit she wore in June to attend a high-profile event.
On August 15, 2025, the First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS) penned a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin. While the content of her words touched on the importance of humanity amid the current war in Ukraine, it was Melania Trump's signature, at the end of her statement, that drew much attention online.

Written ahead of her husband's widely anticipated summit with the Russian leader in Anchorage, Alaska, the First Lady's letter arrived at a moment of delicate diplomacy. The note, delivered by President Donald Trump himself, was dubbed a "peace letter" by news outlets.
As both American and Russian delegates watched, the Russian president reportedly read the letter immediately upon receiving it.

In her message, the FLOTUS reflected on the universal dreams of children, regardless of borders or ideologies, and called for a world in which the youth are shielded from the burdens of conflict.
After concluding the statement, she penned her signature, which quickly became the focal point of conversation online, in bold.

As images of the handwritten note circulated across social platforms, a flurry of commentary emerged. Many zeroed in on the uncanny resemblance between the First Lady's signature and that of her husband's.
"Her signature looks so much like DJT's 🧐," observed one person, while another remarked, "Donald and Melania's signatures are very similar." Someone else echoed that sentiment and added how unsettling the likeness is.
More spectators piled on. "Wait..why do her and Donald have almost identical signatures?" questioned one viewer, while another noted, "So she has the exact same handwriting as Trump and nobody noticed." A curious observer added, "Melania's signature mimics Trump's. That's weird."

"That's a nice letter. But why is her signature like Trump's? Did he sign it? That's bizarre," one person pondered. "Beautiful letter… but I can't help but notice Melania's signature is literally the same penmanship as DJT. Fun," opined someone else.

A closer look at the two signatures offers insight into why comparisons have become so widespread. The President of the United States' (POTUS) autograph is angular and bold, marked by sharp, jagged peaks that rise and fall with near-mechanical precision.
His wife's signature, as seen on the peace letter, mirrors this style in striking ways. It carries the same vertical intensity, the same serrated edges, and a similarly assertive rhythm.

Whether a mere coincidence or a shared stylistic flair, the nearly indistinguishable penmanship between Melania Trump and the POTUS has left many online doing a double-take.

The public reaction follows a different instance in which the FLOTUS sparked online commentary about the ensemble she wore to attend a performance of "Les Misérables" with her husband. It took place at The Kennedy Center on June 11.
The 55-year-old First Lady wore a sleek, one-shouldered black gown that featured sculptural gold buckle accents at the shoulder and waist. She paired the look with gleaming silver, pointed-toe stilettos.
Her caramel-toned hair was styled in soft, polished waves, and her makeup featured a subtle glow with smoky eyes and a glossy nude lip.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump, 78, matched her in a traditional black tuxedo completed with a white pleated shirt and matching bow tie.
The outing marked a rare appearance for the FLOTUS in recent months, as she has largely maintained a lower public profile since returning to the White House.
Once photos from the event emerged, social media zeroed in on her look. One fan shared, "She is hands down the most gorgeous First Lady ever. Blows away Jackie. I feel sorry for the next First Lady. 😩"
Another wrote, "Melania Trump is the classiest and most elegant First Lady our country has ever had, a true symbol of grace, beauty, and strength."
Many focused on her footwear. One observer remarked, "Walking in those shoes! I would last all of 15 minutes. ❤️." Another commented, "Fierce! I could wear those shoes. For about 30 seconds!!!" A fellow admirer expressed, "First Lady, Melania Trump, is exquisitely dressed. The shoes are impressive but [sic] my feet hurt just looking at them.😊."
Other viewers expressed admiration and curiosity. "Very classy, a gorgeous, black dress, simple and elegant!" one said, while another asked, "Weird question, but how does Melania walk perfectly normal in those heels????"
"The SHOES!!! How does she continue to wear them - but I love them!" marveled one netizen. Someone else said, "Stunning! How does FLOTUS walk in those heels!!!! They are sky high!!!! [sic]"
Check out their photos from the event below:
