and then blast off. It is his hot button, and people should keep pressing it. He is bound to go off soon.

Apparently spy Magazine founders Graydon Carter and Kurt Andersen reflect on the origin story of a cultural and political phenomenon.

How Donald Trump Became “the Short-Fingered Vulgarian”

He has been painfully aware of this mocking for decades

Wonder if he buys the extra large.

To, you know, make sure that the marks are big enough and make up for his short fingers.

Observe the fingers. If they look short and stumpy in proportion to the rest of the palm—one may be sure that the individual to whom they belong is of an animal nature, possessing coarse instincts, devoid of real intellectuality, and belonging to the lower order of humanity.[Pg v]

I wasn't aware of this "hands/fingers" issue until Rubio brought it up. Guess we have that to thank him for.

Focusing on Trump having a small penis and demoralizing his manhood is exactly the type of thing his supporters would be impacted by. If it becomes a focal "point" (no pun intended) and he gets more and more on the defensive it could really do some damage to his macho persona.

Sanders Sends Vegan Thugs to Attack Peace-Loving Nazis
BY ANDY BOROWITZ

CINCINNATI (The Borowitz Report)—Republican front-runner Donald Trump was crying foul on Monday after Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders allegedly dispatched an army of vegan thugs to attack a rally of peace-loving Nazis in Cincinnati.

According to Trump, he had begun to address a group of “orderly and civil Nazis” at a downtown arena when his audience was suddenly set upon by an unruly mob of angry vegans, many menacingly clad in Birkenstocks and sustainable garments.

The Sanders supporters, singing an alarmingly militant version of Simon & Garfunkel’s “America,” marched into the arena and began “intimidating and threatening” the Nazis, Trump said.

“Make no mistake about who is starting the violence at these rallies,” Trump said. “It’s the vegans.”
Snip……

My error-- I should've said he *looks* like a physical mess. He'll be 70yo in June and should drop some lbs to stay in better physical condition.
