In 1983 Graydon Carter (later editor of Spy and Vanity Fair) was assigned to write a profile of trump for GQ magazine. In the profile, Carter mentioned that trump's hands seemed "too small for his body". When the issue came out, trump sent out his minions to buy up as many copies of GQ in NYC as they could get their hands on, to prevent people from reading it. Apparently, this led to greater-than-normal sales of that issue which prompted publisher Si Newhouse to greenlight trump's book The Art of the Deal.
