Above illustration is my version of a photo (lower right above) taken when Trump was leaving the second day of the E. Jean Carroll trial. The photo was published in the NY Times article below (link):

If you don’t have a subscription to the NY Times here’s a summary of the article above.

I was reminded of how Trump was called a short-fingered vulgarian:

Here’s an article from ABC News about it:

Excerpt:

Nearly 30 years ago, Graydon Carter, the editor of Vanity Fair magazine, described Trump in Spy magazine as a “short-fingered vulgarian.”

In an editor’s letter in “Vanity Fair” last November, Carter said that he wrote the Sky magazine comment in 1988 “just to drive him a little bit crazy.”

Trump does have short fingers. A vulgarian is defined as follows: an unrefined person, especially one with newly acquired power or wealth.

In the case of Trump, the glove does fit.
