Is it just me, or do we talk way too much about Donald Trump’s hands? After Marco Rubio kidded that Donald Trump had small hands, “And you know what they say about men with small hands,” Trump, like many things, couldn’t seem to let it go. It’s nearly a year later after he handily (pun intended) beat Marco Rubio to become the Republican nominee (and later, President of the United States for God’s sake) and yet he still can’t let it go.
Twice in the last two weeks Trump has brought up the size of his hands while helping with hurricane relief in Texas and Florida. In the first instance, he was caught on camera saying “My hands are too big!” as he attempted to put on a plastic glove before serving food at the NRG Stadium in Houston.

Apparently he cracked a similar joke in Naples, Florida while handing out (pun intended again) hoagies to Hurricane Irma victims. The Washington Post pool reported that when he was putting on the rubber gloves he said “They’re too small,” as the glove ripped on his right hand.
“His hands were, apparently, too large.” I forgot to add: it was unclear whether @marcorubio took note. https://t.co/84mRIOimIp

Why does this seem so familiar? Oh yeah. Weird.
But, I guess we all totally believe his hands are very large and strong and presidential now. For sure.
