Just when you thought you couldn't possibly hear any more about the size of Donald Trump's hands, they now have their very own super PAC.
Oregon resident Henry Kraemer introduced the super PAC "Trump Has Tiny Hands" Monday to answer the question that he says is on every American's mind: "When a call comes into the White House at 3 a.m., will Donald Trump's tiny baby hands be able to lift the phone receiver?"
The controversy surrounding Trump's hand size long predates his presidential run, going back to when Spy magazine referred to him as a "short-fingered vulgarian" more than 25 years ago. The article prompted a deluge of letters from Trump to Spy's editors in which he circled his hands in gold Sharpie to prove that they weren't small.

And now, thanks to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Trump is once again fighting back criticism of his hands. The Florida senator recently mocked Trump's mitts at a rally, saying, "You know what they say about men with small hands ... You can't trust 'em!" Trump addressed the accusations at last week's Republican presidential debate, assuring America that his hands weren't too tiny — and neither was "something else."
