You are smart and you went to a good school. Yet you are up there and talking about your hands and the size of private \u2026<\/p>\n<p>TRUMP: No \u2026<\/p>\n<p>HIATT: \u2026 your private parts.<\/p>\n<p>TRUMP: No, no. No, no. I am not doing that.<\/p>\n<p>HIATT: Do you regret having engaged in that?<\/p>\n<p>TRUMP: No, I had to do it. Look, this guy. Here\u2019s my hands. Now I have my hands, I hear, on the New Yorker, a picture of my hands.<\/p>\n<p>MARCUS: You\u2019re on the cover.<\/p>\n<p>TRUMP: A hand with little fingers coming out of a stem. Like, little. Look at my hands. They\u2019re fine. Nobody other than Graydon Carter years ago used to use that. My hands are normal hands. During a debate, he was losing, and he said, \u201cOh, he has small hands and therefore, you know what that means.\u201d This was not me. This was Rubio that said, \u201cHe has small hands and you know what that means.\u201d Okay? So, he started it. So, what I said a couple of days later \u2026 and what happened is I was on line shaking hands with supporters, and one of supporters got up and he said, \u201cMr. Trump, you have strong hands. You have good-sized hands.\u201d And then another one would say, \u201cYou have great hands, Mr. Trump, I had no idea.\u201d I said, \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d He said, \u201cI thought you were like deformed, and I thought you had small hands.\u201d I had fifty people \u2026 Is that a correct statement? I mean people were writing, \u201cHow are Mr. Trump\u2019s hands?\u201d My hands are fine. You know, my hands are normal. Slightly large, actually. In fact, I buy a slightly smaller than large glove, okay? No, but I did this because everybody was saying to me, \u201cOh, your hands are very nice. They are normal.\u201d So Rubio, in a debate, said, because he had nothing else to say \u2026 now I was hitting him pretty hard. He wanted to do his Don Rickles stuff and it didn\u2019t work out. Obviously, it didn\u2019t work too well. But one of the things he said was \u201cHe has small hands and therefore, you know what that means, he has small something else.\u201d You can look it up. I didn\u2019t say it.<\/p>\n<p>MARCUS: You chose to raise it \u2026<\/p>\n<p>TRUMP: No, I chose to respond.<\/p>\n<p>MARUS: You chose to respond.<\/p>\n<p>TRUMP: I had no choice.<\/p>\n<p>MARCUS: You chose to raise it during a debate. Can you explain why you had no choice?<\/p>\n<p>TRUMP: I don\u2019t want people to go around thinking that I have a problem. I\u2019m telling you, Ruth, I had so many people. I would say 25, 30 people would tell me \u2026 every time I\u2019d shake people\u2019s hand, \u201cOh, you have nice hands.\u201d Why shouldn\u2019t I? And, by the way, by saying that I solved the problem. Nobody questions \u2026 I even held up my hands, and said, \u201cLook, take a look at that hand.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>This fuggin think-skinned blowhard is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/culture\/2015\/10\/graydon-carter-donald-trump\">totally obsessed with what people think of his hands<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HIATT: Just back to the campaign.
