Donald Trump traded cheap insults with his rivals as the race for the Republican presidential nomination reached a new low. At one point during the latest TV debate, the billionaire tycoon was forced to defend the size of his genitals. He lowered the tone as he hit back at rival Marco Rubio for mocking the size of his hands. "Nobody has ever hit my hands,“ Mr Trump said as the raucous crowd laughed and booed. "He referred to my hands. If they’re small, something else must be small. I guarantee you there is no problem.”
