Hezza, his mark: Bunhill
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.BY FAR the most gripping feature of the latest issue of FEInterface, one of those gung-ho publications associated with what used to be called the Board of Trade, was President Hezza's signature. It may just seem a scrawl, but Bunhill's consultantgraphologist was more understanding. To begin with she was quite surprised: "I had thought it would be enormous,'' she gasped, but went on to defend it. "Remember, it's not really a signature, it's an image, a hieroglyphic - you know, his mark, a seal, like kings used to have. And the original is probably rather heavier and more decisive. Looked at as a picture it's quite balanced, showing someone who's capable of translating ideas into reality."
She went on to compare Hezza's mark, favourably with the "aggressive and spiteful" mark made by another leading politician with a much more peaceable reputation. But I stopped listening when she went on to describe the allegedly twisted character revealed by my writing.
