So Colbert took things a step further.

“But, if the president thinks a woman playing Sean Spicer makes him look weak, then he’s really not going to like this picture we made of a little girl pretending to be Donald Trump,” Colbert said. “And he’s especially not going to like it when you retweet at him with the hashtag #largerhands.”

The hashtag was inspired by what’s been perceived as the president’s insecurity about the size of his hands.

In 1988, satirical magazine Spy labeled Trump a “short-fingered vulgarian,” a criticism of one of the real estate mogul’s physical traits that bothered him for years.

“He’ll send me pictures, tear sheets of magazines, and he did it as recently as (last April). With a gold Sharpie, he’ll circle his fingers and in his handwriting say, ‘See, not so short.'” Graydon Carter, one of Spy magazine’s founders told NPR’s David Folkenflik last June.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), whom Trump mocked by calling him “Little Marco,” turned the insults against the billionaire during a rally early last year.

“You know what they say about men with small hands,” Rubio told a crowd in Salem, Va., in February 2016, when he was a presidential candidate. “You can’t trust ’em.’”

Trump seized on an opportunity to respond during a debate the following month.

“[Rubio] referred to my hands, if they are small, something else must be small,” he said. “I guarantee you there is no problem. I guarantee.”

Conversations about Trump’s hands continued during a meeting with The Washington Post’s editorial board. He said he had “no choice” but to respond to Rubio’s insults and recounted feedback he was getting on the campaign trail.

“I was on line shaking hands with supporters and one of the supporters said, ‘Mr. Trump, you have strong hands, you have good size hands.’ And then another one would say, ‘Oh, you have great hands, Mr. Trump. I had no idea,'” Trump said.

Since Colbert’s show Friday night, countless Twitter users have followed his lead and tweeted mockeries of the president’s hands using the hashtag.

Colbert also talked about Spicer’s gaffe earlier this week when he cited an Atlanta terrorist attack three times while defending Trump’s travel ban affecting seven predominantly Muslim countries. The press secretary cited such examples as the San Bernardino, Calif., and Boston attacks. Then he threw in Atlanta, a city where the only terrorist attack has been bombings orchestrated by a Florida-born domestic terrorist with no foreign ties, The Post’s Katie Mettler reported. The attacks happened in the 1990s.

Spicer later gave an explanation to ABC News, saying he “clearly meant Orlando,” not Atlanta.

On the “Late Show,” Colbert said, “I don’t remember any terrorist attacks in Atlanta, and neither did CNN.”

Shortly after McCarthy’s portrayal of Spicer, talks of casting women to portray members of the Trump administration on “Saturday Night Live” have swirled around the Internet. For instance, Rosie O’Donnell has come up as someone to play Stephen K. Bannon, Trump’s chief strategist and former Breitbart News chairman.

O’Donnell tweeted an enthusiastic response and later changed her Twitter avatar to a picture of Bannon — with her face doctored in it.
