In a twist worthy of a political thriller, the digital detectives of the internet have zeroed in on a new enigma: President Biden’s signature. The buzz began when eagle-eyed observers noticed that the signature on Biden’s dropout letter didn’t quite match the one on his executive orders. This signature saga has sparked a flurry of speculation and intrigue, leaving many asking, “Who wrote it?”
Let’s set the scene. On Monday, Biden dropped a bombshell by officially bowing out of the 2024 presidential race, throwing his support behind Kamala Harris. But instead of a grandiose press conference or an official White House release, this announcement came via a post on X (formerly Twitter), featuring a letter that looked more like a casual memo than a presidential decree.
And that’s where things start to get interesting. Sharp-eyed journalists and internet sleuths quickly noticed something off about the signature at the bottom of the letter. Dr. Naomi Wolf, a prominent journalist, took to X to compare Biden’s official signature from Wikipedia with the one on his dropout letter. The discrepancies were as clear as day: Biden’s executive orders feature a sharp, business-like scrawl complete with a “Jr.” suffix, while the dropout letter bore a more relaxed, underline-free signature.

Cue the conspiracy theories. Could it be that someone else signed the letter? Is there a secret forger in the White House? Or perhaps the President’s handwriting simply varies based on penmanship mood swings? The possibilities are as endless as a Netflix binge-watch list.

Adding fuel to the fire, the letter lacked the official presidential seal and was digitally signed—a detail that has many scratching their heads. Traditionally, such a significant announcement would come with a photo op and a scheduled address to the nation. Instead, we got a digital scribble posted on an account known to be managed by a staffer. One can almost hear the collective gasp of a million puzzled citizens.
Staffers reportedly echoed the public’s confusion. “None of us understand what’s happening,” one insider told Politico. “We’re all finding out by tweet.” This level of bewilderment only deepens the mystery. Was it a deliberate move to keep everyone, including his own team, on their toes? Or is there a more mundane explanation lurking behind these digital curtains?
While the internet loves a good whodunit, let’s not forget Occam’s Razor—the simplest explanation is often the right one. It’s entirely plausible that an aide, tasked with managing day-to-day bureaucratic duties, signed the letter, hence the difference in signatures. But where’s the fun in that?
The internet will remain vigilant, magnifying glass in hand, ready to dissect every detail. Will we uncover a hidden plot, or will this turn out to be a case of presidential penmanship gone astray?
