White House visitors find photos of Trump's hands unappetizing

The White House cafeteria has chicken fingers — but they’re not on the menu.

Recent White House guests were baffled by rather large and unappetizing photos of the President posted along the hallway leading to the “White House mess” that seem to emphasize the President’s famously little hands.

“If you’re a VIP and you’re visiting the White House, sometimes you’re taken by aides to the White House mess,” explains one of those VIPs. “It’s not the formal dining room or the family dining room. It’s where you might go if you’re lunching with a cabinet member or general.”

We’re told that en route to that room, guests first pass through a hall of stately portraits of past Presidents. But in the final stretch leading to the mess, there’s a series of portraits that seem to focus on President Trump’s hands, including one that our spy says is “by no means a tiny photo,” spotlighting The Donald’s wee mitts, about which he’s very sensitive. In that photo, Trump’s left-hand fingertips are pressed against his right-hand fingertips, both resting atop a shiny executive desk, which reflects that image.

and studying anatomy. After I heard the fuss about his hand size I have looked specifically at his hands in many different positions, angles and lighting and they do appear small and pudgy. If he lost some weight it would slim his fingers eventually but we all know he like two scoops so that won't be happening.

"In the Madam Tussaud’s wax museum in New York, there’s a bronze cast of Trump’s hand. It’s been there since 1997 when the museum took impressions of Trump for their waxwork model of him.

The average US male's hand is 7.61" long, and Trump's is 7.25". But the average US male is 5'9, and Trump is 6'3, so that makes his hands comparatively even smaller..."

There's a photo of the bronze cast at the link—

This adds to the overall small appearance.
