Rubio Apologizes To Trump Over Small Hands Comment

Florida Senator Marco Rubio told CNN that he apologized to Donald Trump over his remarks about the Republican nominee’s small hands. Speaking to Jake Tapper, Rubio elaborated on what he told Trump backstage at one of the debates: “I’m sorry that I said that. It’s not who I am, and I shouldn’t have done it. I didn’t say it in front of the cameras, I didn’t want any political benefit.”
Ok, I'm a big girl, and I am going to venture a guess about this exchange between very, very powerful men, and older younger exchange at that. Small hands is usually a code, or euphemism, for small penis. It is a common sexual hint and thus a sexual exchange, possibly. Trump's pseudo masculinity tropes also make me think this is a sexual dominance exchange as well as a political apology. I try not to see homo eroticism everywhere now that I've learned to notice it at all. But the older/younger man dynamic, and the power play, just makes me consider it. Any other brave theories out there?
