Donald Trump Secretarial?

I'm debating whether this signature style is Secretarial or authentic, I've seen PSA authenticated ones as the one shown below but I've seen them make mistakes before. Any opinions are appreciated!

The third party authenticators are known to occasionally make mistakes. I have always known this style to be his ttm secretarial. I never heard of him being authentic ttm and his known in person examples definitely differ from this so I am sorry to say I think this might be secretarial.

That's what I was suspecting, these are so close but far enough to make me really question them. I found this one online with a lengthy inscription that seems to match his handwriting but it's still hard to be certain. I'm going to look into just getting the item refunded as I'd rather not have something I have doubts of.

I think his secretary did a good job mimicking his handwriting because the ttm signatures also were personalized with all caps and looks very much like his in person handwriting. The in person signatures, however, are a bit different and usually less full. Smart to get refund. I would wait for an in person and although it won’t look as nice as the known secretarial it will be authentic.

I agree, it is impressive. & okay, I have a few I've got my eye on that look like authentic in person signatures, although less visually appealing. But I'd much rather take that over the uncertainty of this signature style.
