Trump Signs a Little Girl’s Hand With Permanent Marker and She Doesn’t Look Very Happy About It

Donald Trump, the rock star! At least, that’s what HE thinks he is. He thinks he will sign his name on a fan’s arm or hand and they will never wash it again. I am totally dating myself here, but it reminds me of the Brady Bunch episode where Marcia Brady gets kissed by Desi Arnaz Jr. and she exclaims, “I’ll never wash this cheek again!” Since Trumpism is a cult, Trump probably believes his followers feel the same way, and most probably do.

But things went a little differently when Trump signed the hand of a young girl he saw at a campaign stop. Footage of the encounter, circulating on social media, shows Trump first shaking the girl’s hand as she perches on the shoulders of a man I am presuming is her father.

Trump then takes her hand and writes something on it. The child looks somewhat confused by the encounter, and really gave her best WTF face.

The skin-signing incident prompted much discussion on social media, with many wondering what he had written (”hi” being the main consensus) and why he used permanent marker on the child’s skin.

It is not the first time the loser, one-term, twice-impeached and almost thrice-indicted president has signed a child’s hand in black marker, after he was pictured doing the exact same thing at Mar-a-Lago back in March.

On that occasion, the child’s mother joked that her daughter could now never wash her hand again, to which Trump responded: “You have no idea.” SO GROSS.

The latest incident comes as Trump is hitting a series of stops this week including New Orleans, Iowa and Pennsylvania as he campaigns for the Republican 2024 nomination.

And here is Trump doing the same thing back in March at Mar-a-Lago:
