Social media users are quarreling over a D-Day proclamation signed by 16 world leaders that showed President Trump’s signature alone at the top of the document, while the others signed the bottom of the page.
Leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel signed the symbolic proclamation in a grouping at the bottom of the page, but Trump’s signature was emblazoned above the text of the document, leading some to critique the president while others came to his defense.
Guess which world leader signed his name at the top, when everyone else signed at the bottom?! pic.twitter.com/XPM2lfQfEn

Some pointed out that there appeared to be little room at the bottom of the proclamation.
It is not immediately clear why Trump’s signature is at the top or the order in which the leaders signed the document. The president visited Europe this week to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day and meet with leaders, including Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family.
That’s the way to do it when there’s no more space on the bottom. Pathetic observation really….
