Donald Trump’s Strange Hand-Written Notes Have Gone Viral

Social media is trying to decipher the cryptic message - by Elyssa Kostopoulos
  • 21 Nov 2019

It wouldn’t be the first time U.S President Donald Trump has held a press conference that has raised eyebrows, but his most recent speech to the press just yesterday, has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. As the president prepared to board his awaiting helicopter at the White House South Lawn, he took a moment to address reporters and photographers, holding a sheet of paper filled with an endless scribble of black sharpie.

Donald Trump’s Strange Hand-Written Notes Have Gone Viral

His message? A few simple sentences: “I want nothing,” followed by “I want no quid pro quo. Tell Zellinsky [sic] to do the right thing. This is the final word from the pres of the U.S.”

All. In. Caps.

President Donald Trump's notes

The announcement was in response to Gordon Sondland’s, (United States Ambassador to the European Union), bombshell testimony during his impeachment hearing, where he stated that there was indeed a ‘quid pro quo’ between the United States and Ukraine.

“I know that members of this committee have frequently framed these complicated issues in the form of a simple question: Was there a ‘quid pro quo?’” the ambassador said.

“As I testified previously, with regard to the requested White House call and White House meeting, the answer is yes.”

Sondland continued by revealing that Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, sought to condition an Oval Office meeting with Ukranian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, in exchange for politically motivated investigations of Trump’s rivals. His testimony is a break-through moment for the impeachment, providing serious evidence against the president.

As with most news out of and concerning the White House, social media has had an absolute field day with the president’s notes. This isn’t the first time Trump has been mocked for clutching a handwritten message. Last March, Trump was ridiculous online for a handwritten message reminding him to say “I hear you” while chatting with survivors of school shootings.

We have so many questions, but for now, we’ll be here enjoying the hilarious influx of tweets – our favourites below.
