President Trump, who was called a "short-fingered vulgarian" in the 1980s, is still feeling insecure about his hands.

He brought up the size of his hands at a Hurricane Irma relief location run by the Red Cross in Florida, as he was handing out food. Trump claimed his hands were "too big" for the gloves.

Weirdly, he did the exact same thing at a recent disaster relief visit to Texas, where he also handed out food after Hurricane Harvey.

Check out both groan-worthy incidents below.
