Trump nails Rubio: I have beautiful hands

One of Marco Rubio’s latest barbs played right into Donald Trump’s “beautiful hands.”

Trump has begun referring to the Florida senator as “Little Marco,” so Rubio went after the businessman’s “small hands.”

“He’s like 6-2, which is why I don’t understand why his hands are the size of someone who is 5-2,” Rubio said at a rally in Roanoke, Virginia, on Sunday. “Have you seen his hands? You know what they say about men with small hands — you can’t trust them.”

The billionaire responded to Rubio's remarks Tuesday at a rally in Columbus, Ohio.

“Actually I’m 6-3, not 6-2 — but he said I had small hands. They’re not small, are they?” Trump asked, extending his hands for supporters to see. “I never heard — I never heard that one before. I’ve always had people say, ‘Donald, you have the most beautiful hands.’”

Former GOP candidate and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker got into the action on Tuesday afternoon, tweeting a photo of his hand before signing dozens of bills into law. The tweet itself made no direct reference to any other candidate's hands.
