Introduced in 1964, the Sharpie was quickly adopted by athletes and celebrities to underscore their fame when signing posters, baseballs and other collectibles. Early Sharpie promoter Johnny Carson, worshipped by Donald in college, likely prompted Trump to adopt his idol’s preferred writing instrument.
It is also rumored that Trump became a Sharpie fanatic after being incessantly teased about his small hands, going back to high school. Accusations of having tiny carrot fingers have dogged him for 36 years.
In a 1984 GQ cover story, Graydon Carter described Trump’s hands as “small and neatly groomed.” In 1988, Spy magazine co-editor Carter called Trump a “short-fingered vulgarian.” Trump’s insecurity about the size of his hands and feud with Carter went on for decades. Before Trump decided to run for president, he sent Carter a photo and circled his hand in gold ink, with the handwritten words, “See, not so short!” Carter returned the photograph with the reply, “Actually quite short.”
Big, thick, bold, gold and black Sharpies succeeded in pacifying Trump’s insecurity on several levels. Handwriting experts, also known as graphologists, agree that there is a significant correlation between Trump’s Sharpie-writing style and hunger for power, fearlessness, grandiosity, ruthlessness, and lust for attention, dominance, virility and fame. Heartlessness is also a correlate.
This story will be updated when the length of Trump’s fingers is ascertained.
