US President Donald Trump, along with First Lady Melania Trump, had a brief stopover at Sabarmati Ashram on his way from the Ahmedabad international airport to the Motera Stadium.

In the visitor's book, Trump wrote, "To my great friend Prime Minister Narendra Modi, thank you for this wonderful visit." 

However, what left the Twitteratti confused was the freaky signature of the US president, which, many people claimed, looked like an ECG or sine wave.

“I showed Trump's signature to my pharmacist, he gave me medicines for 3 days,” wrote a jocular user on Twitter. Similar witty remarks, memes and trolls flooded the social media in no time, with users letting their creativity run wild.

Trump's message itself had taken many by surprise since it did not make any mention of Mahatma Gandhi.

The tranquil hermitage on the banks of river Sabarmati was home to the father of the nation between 1917 and 1930 during India's freedom struggle.

Netizens compared Trump's note with that of his predecessor Barack Obama.

When the former US president visited the Mani Bhavan – where Gandhi used to stay while in Mumbai – in south Mumbai in 2010, his note in the visitors’ book read: “I am filled with hope and inspiration as I have the privilege to view this testament to Gandhi’s life. He is a hero not just to India but to the world.”
