On March 3rd, at the Republican Primary Debate in Detroit, Michigan, Trump responded to Rubio's quip by assuring Americans his penis was of an unproblematic size, saying "I guarantee you, there's no problem." The national discussion of Trump's hands inspired a series of jokes and photoshops about Trump's tiny hands. He went on to possibly suggest Trump has a small penis, saying "You know what they say about guys with tiny hands," pausing before he clarified, "You can't trust them!"

At a campaign rally on February 29th, 2016, Rubio said that though Trump is 6'2", he doesn't understand why Trump has hands the size of someone who is 5'2". Trump's small hands became a talking point during the 2016 Presidential Republican Primary when Marco Rubio lashed back at Trump's insult for him, Little Marco. Vanity Fair published a list of photographs in which Trump's hands look small a few weeks later.

According to Carter, the jab did in fact get under Trump's skin, as Carter reports occasionally receiving an envelope from Trump with a picture of himself torn from a magazine in which his fingers are circled with the comment "Not so short!" On February 1st, 2016, Mother Jones published a playful article that investigated what Trump's finger-size would mean for his presidency. Carter recalled the jab in a Vanity Fair editorial published November, 2015, which re-introduced the idea that Trump has small hands to a national audience.
