Are Donald Trump’s fingers weirdly short? An investigation.
Washington Post ^ | 3/1/2016 | Philip Bump

Posted on 03/01/2016 1:51:19 PM PST by MarvinStinson

Donald Trump is very self-conscious about his hands. If you didn't know that before right this second, I'd have to describe you as someone paying only casual attention to the campaign; the subject of the length of Trump's fingers has been raised repeatedly by the media, by Trump's opponents and by Trump.

It stems from a story told by Graydon Carter, editor of Vanity Fair.

Maybe but you’ll have to admit Trump holds a grudge like it was the last babe on earth.

We all know Michelle is a dude.

But Trump still has short fingers.

Let’s see his hands.

But first, let’s see all those missives he’s gotten from Trump over the years.

I will personally bid for them on E-Bay.

How does this have ANYTHING to do with Ted Cruz?

It's got nothing to do with Cruz. He (she?) is just really proud of the clever, if unoriginal graphic he (she?) stole, er, created.

Excuse me, but does Ted Cruz have short fingers?

Or what has this to do with Cruz?

Why do all you little trumps blame everything negative about Trump on Cruz.

I don’t think it’s so bad that he has short fingers. But it is a little disturbing that he would keep sending pictures of his hands to a magazine for years.

Dontcha think?

I have [in my opinion] freakishly long fingers, especially for my overall size.

Like you, I cannot find gloves that fit right.

Even medium sized gloves have too-short fingers and the tips cut into my flesh, if I need to bend my hand, in the least.

On the bike, I’ve gotten used to having to having very cold fingers because I *have* to wear the half-finger gloves, in order to twist the throttle or pull the clutch handle.

The only thing they’re good for is playing piano or guitar, neither of which I do.

The superstar baseball pitcher and also superstar quarterback at my high school would brag about everything and how great he was. One day he was saying he could throw a ball so well because of how big his hands were, and was going on and on about that.

I asked him to see how big his hands were compared to mine (I have large hands). Mine were bigger. I quipped “Hey - your hands ARE big. Almost as big as mine!”

He was a good player though. Was the catcher on a World Series winning team later on. I’m hoping as he grew up he grew out of his bragging though. Obnoxious.

Awww, you poor folks.

I’m sorry Ted aligned himself with these news outlets when he went up against Trump, and that his crewzers on FR picked up on every one of their stories and posted them here over and over and over and over and over...

Surprise, you win big. Now enjoy yourselves and you’re new fellow travelers.

Hillary has been insulted about her thighs for years.

I find it kinda endearing that Hillary has never been able to lose that 40 pounds even though she’s in the public eye.

That is the only endearing thing about her.

But what has that to do with Trump clinging to an argument with a magazine and compulsively sending them pictures of his hands for years.

Don’t you find that a little creepy?

Why do you little trumps always attack the source.

However poor you think this writer is, the fact remains that Trump is a compulsive grievance collector.

He never lets go of a grudge.

AND sending pictures of his hands to a magazine for years ??

A little creepy? Or not.

My theory is that the Trump worshippers have themselves become Trump.

As in, they are what I call little trumps.

Every dishonest, horrible or creepy thing Donald does is instantly deemed not just acceptable but worthy.

So we have formerly moral people defending serial adultery and losing a part of their own moral compass in the bargain.

By condoning all of Trumps sins, they are becoming him.

They are the proud, the brave.... the little trumps.

I do not care about Trump's fingers.

I have never stated a preference for Trump or Cruz in the current fighting.
