Opinions on this Donald Trump

I've seen so many different Trump autograph styles that I'd like to see what others think about the one above. The one below is a similar style authenticated by JSA. I've come across others very similar to the top one as well but unauthenticated. Im having trouble finding all trumps styles with provenance

I do not believe the top one is authentic. I have studied his signatures in depth and have a few in my collection. the JSA one looks good

Thanks for the reply, have you seen the top style before? I'm wondering if this originated TTM and would possibly be a secretarial. Im currently not a member of Startiger and all of my old TTM resources are dead. There are a mix of similarities and differences with an authentic Trump compared to this one and its tough to figure out with what info I have available online. Since trump does have different styles, this one confused me a bit. I have seen this specific style on a few different items but of course no proof of origin. Im hoping to create a new post eventually for every style over the years deemed authentic as well as all versions of secretarial signatures.

I would like to learn more about his secretarial versions too.

I agree with terrier8HOF that the top one doesn’t look authentic but the JSA one is authentic. I think the top one is likely a forgery style rather than secretarial but I am not certain. I need to learn more about his secretarial patterns. I am only familiar with one version of his secretarial signatures and that was during the Apprentice era.

On another note, I know Trump has two common varieties of authentic signature - a nice sit down signature (like the JSA example you posted) and a rushed version which can be difficult to authenticate because it looks easy to forge.
