Marco Rubio escalated his slate of recent attacks on Donald Trump's looks Sunday, telling supporters at an event Sunday night that Trump can't be trusted because he has "small hands."
He was responding to Trump's habit of calling him "Little Marco." And while Rubio freely admitted he's the shorter one of the two, he said he was baffled by the size of Trump's hands.
"He's like 6'2'' which is why I don't understand why his hands are the size of someone who is 5'2". Have you seen his hands?" Rubio said during a rally in Roanoke, Virgina. "You know what they say about men with small hands? You can't trust them. You can't trust them."
The war of words focused on physical appearances has been going on for a few days now. At the GOP debate Thursday night, Trump mocked Rubio for his excessive sweating, but then said, "Thank God he has really large ears, the biggest ears I've ever seen, because they were protecting him."
Rubio's return fire started with a dig at Trump's complexion when he called him "the man with the worst spray tan in America." During Sunday's rally, he tried to spin the sweating slam to his own advantage.
"He doesn't sweat cause his pores are clogged from the spray tan that he uses," he said, prompting laughter from the audience. "Donald is not going to make America great. He's going to make America orange."
