    Sharpies are not pens. Sharpies are markers which are closer to signing everything with a crayon.

      The ones trump uses are definitely not. But the Sharpie brand does sell pens as well now.

        They are good pens but even if he heard of their pens he would still be signing in bold with a marker. If you asked anyone to go buy you a Sharpie you will wind up with a marker when they get back.

      They’re also much easier to hold and use for someone with motor issues, especially the big ones.

      Sharpies are not pens. Sharpies are markers

      Which is short for “marker pens”.
