Donald Trump is obsessed with size. Obsessed. It was really only a matter of time before this became an actual measuring contest of actual male genitalia. And, in fairness to Trump, rival Marco Rubio started it.
Trump has endlessly attacked Rubio, 44, for profusely sweating, needing a sip of water while giving a high-profile rebuttal to the State of the Union address in 2013, and for being "weak like a baby." His newest nickname for the senator: "Little Rubio."
Rubio reacted to the belittling label by accusing Trump of having small hands. Yes, small hands.
"You know what they say about men with small hands," Rubio said at a rally in Virginia on Sunday, pausing to let the audience laugh. "You can't trust 'em."
Wink, wink. Trump has long been sensitive about the length of his fingers, and he quickly jumped to defend himself during the Thursday night debate.
"I have to say this, I have to say this: He hit my hands. Nobody has ever hit my hands. I have never heard of this. Look at those hands. Are they small hands?" Trump said, as the crowd laughed. "And he referred to my hands, if they are small, something else must be small. I guarantee you there is no problem. I guarantee."
One of the moderators quickly cut in: "OK, moving on."
