    There's A Hilarious Way To Tell If Someone Is A Trump Supporter Or Not In The Deaf Community And It's Going Viral

    Touché to the toupée.

    Recently, TikTok user @gingertroubledrie went viral for sharing this clip from the Netflix documentary Deaf U:

    In the clip — which has over 1.5 million views — Rodney Burford explains that deaf people who support Trump will sign out his name.

    He then states that people who do not support him will simply use the sign for a toupée.

    Here's the full clip, which explains how deaf people often sign a person's name based on a unique trait they have. In Trump's case, it's a toupée:

    Some ASL teachers found the clip so funny, they shared it with their students:

    I shared this with my ASL class and we all shared a laugh [laughing with tears emoji]

    And others confirmed there definitely are two different ways to sign Trump's name in the Deaf community:

    My parents sign his name like that [laughing with tears emoji]

    The documentary has also made the ASL anti-Trump sign go international:

    and this sign has gone international!! It's hilarious ahaha

    Deaf U is an eight-episode Netflix documentary series that aired last month. It shows the everyday lives of deaf students at Gallaudet University, a private college for the deaf and hard of hearing in Washington, D.C.
