  Where did the tiny hands trope come from? They look pretty normal sized to me.

    He used to call Marco Rubio little Marco during the run up to the 2016 election, Rubio said Trump had small hands, Trump then proceeded to bring it up during debates and rallies. People sensed the insecurity and latched on.

        It goes back further than that

        Nearly 30 years ago, Graydon Carter, the editor of Vanity Fair magazine, described Trump in Spy magazine as a “short-fingered vulgarian.”

        In an editor’s letter in “Vanity Fair” last November, Carter said that he wrote the Sky magazine comment in 1988 “just to drive him a little bit crazy.”

        And according to Carter, it still does.

        “Like so many bullies, Trump has skin of gossamer,” Carter wrote in November.

        “To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump. There is always a photo of him—generally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers,” Carter wrote. “I almost feel sorry for the poor fellow because, to me, the fingers still look abnormally stubby.”
