[Sw-l] ASL sign for Trump

[Adam Frost]

I would personally write it without the contact stars for simplicity because you could argue that the wrist never loses contact or that the hand never makes contact with the head as well as argue that only the fingertips make contact twice. So instead of trying to handle all those differences, I would just avoid the contact stars completely. I think it would still be readable without. What do you think?

Also, for me the movement is a double-upward wrist movement rather than downward. So this is how I would write it:
