Donald Trump insinuates he is ‘well-endowed’ in response to Marco Rubio’s comment about his small hands

In a drinking session or all-male gathering, it is common among men to joke about the size of their genitals when the unusual large size of another man’s feet or hands are observed. That correlation between hand size and penis size was just repeated in the GOP debate on Thursday.

The Washington Post reports that the Republican Fox New debate opened with Marco Rubio commenting on anticipated GOP frontrunner Donald Trump having small hands. Rubio just brought to fore a common-held belief among some males that men with small hands also have small penises.

In response to Rubio’s wisecrack, Trump says, “If they’re small, something else must be small.” He then followed it up with, “I guarantee you, there’s no problem.”

Analysing the repartee, the influential newspaper points out, “The Republican presidential front-runner just insinuated to America he is, without a doubt, well-endowed.” The incident just shifted America’s attention from Trump’s prominent and bizarre hairdo to what is in between his legs.

Mashable sees what happened as the GOP debate going below the belt when it wrote on its headline that Trump assures voters “he’s got a big enough dick to be president.”

Did Trump debunked myths on limb size and genital size?

A July 2011 article in Men’s Health cites a study published in the Asian Journal of Andrology that found a link between men having shorter index fingers than ring fingers – called low-digit ratio - with having bigger penises. The data was based on men who had urological surgery in a South Korean hospital and had their penises and fingers measured along the way (with their consent). The researchers measured the men’s stretched penis rather than erect genital.

The researchers explained finger and penis length to the testosterone that the men were exposed when they were still fetuses inside their mother’s womb. The same study links low-digit ratio with higher risks of prostate cancer, being better in sports and financial trading and having higher sperm counts.

As for feet size, Divine Caroline, a women’s blog, points to a 2002 study by the University College London that measured shoe size and penis size. The study found no correlation between the two, confirmed by another study made by University of Alberta researchers which added height to the correlates.

Those scientific studies just confirmed what Trump stated that hands do not determine male genital size. However, while many also know that, the GOP debate indicates how pathetic the Republican race for president has degenerated, the newspapers note.

As a result, the debate became the butt of Twitter jokes such as a suggestion from Mo Elleithee for the GOP candidates to unzip their pants and compare. lauren Ashley bishop proposes “for our own safety now we must build a wall around trump’s dick.”

In turn, what Caissie St.Onge wants to find out is not the size of Trump’s manhood but the colour of his pubes which she speculates and rust and styled combover. Brett Erlich comments, “Trump’s penis is the new Obama Birth Certificate.”

Given how the debate has shown how American politics have sunken to that low level, small wonder that Google search for "Move to Canada" showed it has reached its highest point in the US since 2004, indicating how terrified many Americans are of a Trump presidency. Besides Canada, Mashable adds that New Zealand, Ireland, Svalbard and Sweden are willing to take in American immigrants.
