Rubio attacks Trump's small hands

Rubio attacks Trump’s short fingers


Marco Rubio is attacking rival Donald Trump over one of his biggest weaknesses: his short fingers.

Rubio pointed out Trump’s “small hands” in comparison to the billionaire’s height at a campaign rally on Sunday night.
“You know what they say about men with small hands … you can’t trust 'em!” Rubio said.

Comments on Trump’s fingers have been known to set him off.

In a November 2015 column for Vanity Fair, editor Graydon Carter detailed how the Republican front-runner responds to criticism about his fingers.

“Just to drive him a little bit crazy, I took to referring to him as a ‘short-fingered vulgarian’ in the pages of Spy magazine,” Carter wrote. “That was more than a quarter of a century ago.”

In 1988, Spy magazine referred to Trump as the "short-fingered vulgarian" in nearly every story.

Trump defended himself in the New York Post, saying “my fingers are long and beautiful, as, has been well-documented, are various other parts of my body.”

Carter wrote that he still receives occasional photos from Trump in response to the criticism decades ago.

“On all of [the photos] he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers,” Carter said. “I almost feel sorry for the poor fellow because, to me, the fingers still look abnormally stubby.”
