Thursday’s GOP debate got right to the heart of one of the most pressing issues of the presidential campaign: Donald Trump’s allegedly tiny hands. After Fox News’ Bret Baier asked Sen. Marco Rubio about his personal attacks on Donald Trump over the last few days, Trump brought up the fact that Rubio had attacked the size of his hands—falsely claiming that he’d never heard that critique before. Then Trump pivoted to his, um, manhood.

“He referred to my hands, if they’re small, something else must be small,” Trump said. “I guarantee you there’s no problem. I guarantee it.”

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.
