The New Yorker published a new cover illustration mocking Donald Trump on Thursday, just an hour after the former president was found guilty on all 34 counts in the Stormy Daniels silence case.
John Cuneo’s image, titled “A Man of Conviction,” shows Trump about to be handcuffed but with a small problem: his hands and wrists are too small for the handcuffs:
The image will be on the cover of the magazine next week.
Several people who met with Trump commented on his unusually small hands, a subject the former president has long been sensitive about.
During the 2016 presidential campaign, Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida) – then one of Trump’s opponents for the Republican nomination – triggered Trump by making fun of his hands.
“And you know what they say about men with small hands?” Rubio said. “You can’t trust them.”
During a debate, Trump not only defended the size of his hands, but also appeared to defend the size of his penis.
“Look at these hands. Are these small hands? he said, raising his hands. “He referred to my hands: ‘If they’re small, something else must be small.’ I guarantee there is no problem. I guarantee.”
However, a print of Trump’s hands left at the Madame Tussauds wax museum in New York shows that his hand size is below average, around the 15th percentile, according to the Washington Post.
