[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of this matters. What is important is that on January 20, 2017 Donald J. Trump will be President of the United States and you will still be a bitter democrat.[/quote]

It may not matter to you. But it will definitely matter to the short-fingered vulgarian. He'll still be gnashing his teeth at 4 am, and getting ready to put his short fingers to work on Twitter.[/quote]

Did you see him at press conference when he held up both his hands?  They really are tiny![/quote]

Yes. Yes, they are.[/quote]

[i][u]On repeatedly describing Trump as a "short-fingered vulgarian"[/u]

Carter: Well, we'd come up with these epithets, and there was a certain writer we called a "bosomy dirty book writer." ... It was just the repetition that made them stick a bit back in the day.

On Trump's reaction

Carter: [Trump] blames me for this more than Kurt. He'll send me pictures, tear sheets from magazines, and he did it as recently as [last] April. With a gold Sharpie, he'll circle his fingers and in his handwriting say, "See, not so short." And this April when he sent me one, I just — I should have held on to the thing, but I sent it right back by messenger with a note, a card stapled to the top, saying, "Actually, quite short." And I know it just gives him absolute fits. And now that it's become sort of part of the whole campaign rhetoric, I'm sure he wants to just kill me — with those little hands.[/i][/quote]
