Super PAC calls on Donald Trump to release his tiny hand measurements
"If the White House phone rings at 3 a.m., could his little hands even pick up the receiver?"
That's just one of the questions raised in a new ad spot from Americans Against Insecure Billionaires with Tiny Hands PAC, a real super PAC which is calling on presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump to release his hand measurements.
The video cuts such serious questions of national import — like, "When [Trump] decides to launch his nuclear war, will his stubby fingers even be able to push the button all the way down?" — with footage of a tiny baby hand struggling to accomplish presidential activities.

The size of his hands has long been a sore point for Trump since he was called a "short-fingered vulgarian" in a Spy magazine article in the 1980s. Watch the full super PAC ad below, and if you find yourself concerned about Trump's hand measurements, you can sign a petition for their release at the PAC's website, DonaldTrumpHasTinyHands.com.
