During a campaign rally on Sunday, Marco Rubio questioned Donald Trump's trustworthiness by mocking the frontrunner's "small hands," allegedly implying that Trump has a small penis.
It was another of Rubio's recent middle-school zingers aimed at Trump that calls to mind the suggestion that men with small hands have small penises (which isn't actually true). But several people have argued out it's actually a reference to a 25-year-old insult directed at Trump:
When Graydon Carter, who is now the editor of Vanity Fair magazine, was editing Spy magazine, he started calling Trump a "short-fingered Vulgarian" just, as Carter described last November, "to drive him a little bit crazy." Carter claimed that he still receives an occasional piece of mail from Trump with a press clipping that mentions the length of his fingers.
"I almost feel sorry for the poor fellow because, to me, the fingers still look abnormally stubby," Carter wrote.
But Rubio's suggestive comment wasn't the only Trumpian tactic he pulled on Sunday. A Rubio rally reportedly got violent, with one protester—who held a sign saying Rubio is nothing but an "empty suit"—getting roughed up by people in the crowd. Rubio responded with a joke.
