Discovering and Decoding
the President’s Binary Hand Signals
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Birmingham, Alabama

One and two and one and one and…
Visual artists Don Stewart and Sue Ellen Brown of the DS Art
Studio in Homewood, Alabama have made a startling discovery, simply by
observing the hand gestures of the 45th president. After months of
careful study, the husband and wife team believe the leader of the free world
is telegraphing coded messages using binary code in his own digital sign
language, and has been doing so since he began running for office.

Stewart, a former physician, and Brown, a computer artist,
began noticing the candidate’s peculiar hand motions early in the presidential
campaign.
“It was actually way back in the summer of 2015,” says
Brown, who was first to comment on the candidate’s odd manual gesticulations.
She noticed the regularity with which Mr. Trump repeatedly extended his index
finger in an upward ‘number one’ direction, followed by circling his thumb and
forefinger into the letter “O”.
“He just kept doing it, over and over, so I got curious and
started keeping notes,” Brown said. “It turns out he was speaking in sign
language, signaling individual letters, made up of zeroes and ones.”
Since then, the husband and wife team has been poring over
hours of video footage, carefully cataloguing the sequences of 1’s and O’s
indicated by Trump’s articulate right hand. After writing down the numbers on
separate note pads, the two then compare their numeric lists, revisiting the
video record to resolve any conflicts.
Once the raw lists of binary figures are complete, they are
scanned into a computer program that simultaneously reads the numbers, and separates
them sequentially into eight-bit segments for translation into alphanumeric
characters.
“It took us a while to get the software right,” says Brown,
“But with a little bit of tweaking, we were able to obtain reliable data.
Incredible data. Better data than anyone has ever been able to generate
before.”
With eight ‘bits’ or gestures, per letter, it takes a long
time to code a word by hand, much less a full sentence.
“That’s probably why he talks so much,” says Stewart.
According to the two researchers, Trump’s messages cover a
wide range of topics from DAPL and NAFTA to MAGA and several mentions of
WAFFLES. ‘You are Losers,’ and ‘I am WINNING’ appear frequently. Neither artist
would offer details concerning the content of additional coded messages, citing
national security concerns, and the fact that their translations aren’t infallible,
for a number of reasons.
“It turns out, he’s not a very good speller,” said Stewart,
“Though the man is spot-on with the terms ‘B-I-G-L-Y’ and ‘H-U-G-E’. He nails
those every time.”
“And TRUMP. There’s a lot of T-R-U-M-P,” Brown said.
When pressed, the two investigators also admit that their translating
program isn't perfect. Some of the passages they have recorded make no sense at
all when processed through their proprietary computer algorithm. This could be
due, they say, to glitches in the software, or simply a faulty interpretation
of the hand gestures, for example, when an upturned finger actually means
‘Number One’. “That can throw off an entire sequence,” said Stewart.
Both concede that more study is needed, and have plans to
run their ‘nonsense’ data through a more advanced series of algorithms,
including punctuation filters, and Cyrillic character analysis.
When asked why they have only interpreted the president’s right-handed
gestures, Stewart noted, “If you try and follow both hands at once, the
messages become unreadable, so either the right hand doesn’t know what the left
hand is doing, or he’s sending different information to two audiences at once.
For now we’re focusing on right-sided speech alone. That’s where most of the
action is. We plan to review the numbers from his sinister side in a follow-up
study.”
Asked when the intelligence community will allow them to discuss
their findings in greater detail, the artists stated that the meetings with
federal authorities have been planned for some time, but repeatedly postponed
until a later date.
