Hands: Donald Trump's and others'

Although it has been a little over a year since I've last tended to this blog, I've felt compelled to make a new little post tonight on a topical matter. (even though there are other things I ought to be working on, but no matter..) 

 As it's pretty inevitable to be exposed to the... debacle that is the current election season, that's what this about. Recently, people have insulted (although I don't blame them for doing so) Donald Trump's hands. Donald Trump has claimed that his hands are magnificent and not lacking in size, nor is he lacking in size in... other places. He also claims that his hands are beautiful, which I will say they most definitely are not. Really though, what do you expect from an egomaniacal demagogue? (egomanaical I thought of myself, demagogue I got from something I read in the New York Times earlier about him) 

 In what world are Donald Trump's hands beautiful?? I'm not sure that they're particularly small, size wise, but they certainly aren't beautiful. His fingers are quite chunky and stubby looking, which is not a characteristic of beautiful hands. Also, his skin is kind of wrinkly and such which doesn't help the appearance of his hands. People who think that his hands are beautiful are deluded (people who support him, I'll venture to say, are also deluded/other similar adjectives). 

 Anyways, incidentally, the people whose hands I do think are beautiful are as follows.. (this isn't something I've just thought up today. This is actually something that I've had opinions on for awhile.) 
In no particular order: (I would add pictures but I'm lazy) 

  • James D'Arcy (actor)
  • Vincent D'Onofrio (actor)
  • Anderson Cooper (journalist)
  • Brandon Flowers (musician) 
A nice assortment of people, who I also happen to admire for things other than the beauty of their hands. All of these people are decently tall (Anderson is the shortest of the 4, I believe, but not unusually short). James D'Arcy has really nice hands; his fingers are nice and elegant looking and they taper a bit towards the ends which just adds to their appearance. Seriously. Go look up a picture of them. Vincent also has nice hands, which happily appear quite frequently in Law and Order CI, because his character has a tendency to gesture a good amount, so we get to see the hands in action. Really nice. His fingers aren't chunky. His hands are also probably a decent size, not small; he's 6'4". (the aforementioned James D'Arcy is 6'3", so also pretty tall.) I could go on.. Anderson and Flowers I have a little less to say about, since I don't really get as many looks at their hands, but from the pictures I've seen, I can also attest that they have nice hands as well. These are only 4 people here, and I'm sure there are a number of other people who have nicer hands than Donald Trump (honestly, that'd probably be a lot of people), but these 4 people have hands that I've noticed in particular.

 This post is probably... a bit out there, I will admit. But hopefully it was amusing, or at the least, vaguely interesting.
