Related: About this forumIt's official. My fingers are all roughly a half inch longer than Donald Trump's.
Even though he overshadows me by about 2 inches in total height.
Tsk, tsk, Donald.
See how you match up:

(9,895 posts)It is Trump that obsesses about the hands - if you doubt this at all, just watch him talk with the wild gesticulations and finger orchestration in his next appearance on TV or anywhere else.
Pointing out something that annoys an easily distracted and easily annoyed enemy is not worthless effort at all. Read Sun Tzu's "Art of War" for the more nuanced principles, but in the spirit of TL'DR...if someone gets mad easily, antagonize them!

He himself made it an issue during the Republican debates so we'll just run with it.

(1,499 posts)Don't remember those as the focus of OUR platform.
The rampant sexism of bringing up a presidential candidate's physical characteristics (the Trump hands stuff may be ridiculous, BUT it was Trump who brought it to national attention).
Are you lost?

(9,895 posts)And my hands were slightly larger than the Talking Yam's too...I cannot believe that he is self-conscious of something that petty and nonsensical...what a tormented hellish existence he must lead obsessing on such tiny details (pun obviously intended!!!).

(81 posts)I'm a 5'9" female and mine measure 7.52".
I'll have to check DH, he is 6'2" exactly. I know his hands are bigger than mine, so he'll no doubt "out finger" Trump.
And, this is why it's funny, he is obsessed with the size of his hands:

Oh, ETA, someone needs to get a Twitter hashtag going where people take pictures of their hands next to the Trump measurement from Hollywood Reporter, noting their height and gender. That will likely cause a meltdown on his end .
