Melania Trump was mocked after Twitter users pointed out how similar her signature is to her husband Donald Trump’s after their 2019 Christmas card was shared online. The debate was sparked after MSNBC host Chris Hayes noted the similarity of the signatures in a photo of the card posted online by several members of Congress who received it as part of a “strange” mail set. Speaking on his Friday’s show, Mr Hayes said: “Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut alerted us to this strange mailing.
“Apparently every member of the Senate received a packet from the White House that includes three things – a big white Christmas card, a small red Christmas card and a copy of the crazy six-page letter Trump sent to Nancy Pelosi.
“But it is more than just the letter that had people scratching their heads, it was Melania’s signature on the Christmas card which looks super similar to her husband’s.”
Mr Hayes continued: “No one would ever accuse Melania Trump of copying someone else’s words or style or anything like that although there was that one time she delivered Michelle Obama’s speech at the RNC.
“That’s a thing that happened. But now everyone is wondering what is happening here.”

FLOTUS faced accusations of plagiarism when she delivered a speech at the Republican National Convention that was strikingly similar to a speech her predecessor Michelle Obama gave in 2008.
Melania at the time insisted she had not intended to copy Mrs Obama but admitted to having drawn inspiration from her.
But Mr Hayes’ segment sparked a flurry of comments online who mocked the First Lady for the similar signatures.
One Twitter user said: “#MelaniaTrump plagiarizing since 2016… doesn’t even have her own signature.”

Speaking to Yahoo Celebrity in 2017, Ms Kurtz said: “Absolutely amazing. This is stylised.
“Maybe they brought someone in to show her how to do it or it’s a stamp, but it is definitely stylised.”
The handwriting analyst also said Melania’s signature suggests FLOTUS to be a “sharp thinker” albeit one who prefers to keep her cards close to her chest.
She continued: “When someone writes, and you can’t really read what they’re writing, they don’t want you to read them at all.
“The first letter, where it goes up into a point, that’s pretty sharp and direct and gets right to it.
“The downstrokes — those two lines in her last name — those are very sharp. Melania is a sharp thinker, a fast thinker, and picks up information quickly.”
