Impossible to tell.  Probably a forgery.  Maybe not.  It's a triangle and some zig-zags written with a thick marker.  A 5 year old could learn to forge that.

With Trump, stick to his early, pre-campaign full name autographs.  Buy inscriptions.

I lean towards thinking a 5 year old did knock that one off. Doesn't look like any Trump signatures I've yet seen.

Could be a hasty campaign rally autograph?

I have to echo what Appleton said, its really tough to know for sure.

I got a campaign one, but I have actually video proof of him signing it.

Somebody needs to let Trumps know that the thing he is using to sign his photos is called a  seismometer. And that is not what it is used for.

I would stick to earlier full signatures. In my opinion, many of the abbreviated campaign trail autographs cannot be reliably authenticated.

Full Donald Trump autographs on photos are uncommon. In my opinion, most pre-presidential signed photos are secretary. There were at least a few secretaries in play. Your best bet is with a book.

Go with ones like this:

or this! :-)
