What is small hands man?

"Small Hands Man" is a derogatory term primarily used in political discourse, especially regarding former U.S. President Donald Trump. The implication is that a person's physical features, specifically the size of their hands, are indicative of their character, capability, or masculinity.

The use of this insult gained prominence after a 1988 Spy magazine article that referred to Trump as a "short-fingered vulgarian." The article became a long-running joke, and the accusation of having small hands resurfaced frequently throughout Trump's career, particularly during the 2016 presidential campaign.

The insult is considered a form of body shaming and is often criticized for its focus on physical appearance rather than substantive issues. There is no scientific basis to suggest any correlation between hand size and other traits. The use of "small hands man" is generally seen as a personal attack intended to ridicule and diminish the target.
