It's not like he cared much about the remarks, he just commented on the jokes from the opposition about those things in passing. He wasn't in any way actually seriously fazed by any of it. He rebutted in a joking manner and moved on. I don't see how that would discredit his leadership skills, as a man who has singlehandedly created a billion dollar empire by dealing directly with different leaders of large corporations and organizations.

I'm not just talking about remarks he's made.  You don't send letters to someone insisting your hands are normal sized, you don't sue someone because they think you have less money than you think.  That's not joking, that's thin skinned.  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3289263/How-Donald-Trump-repeatedly-tried-convince-editor-Vanity-Fair-Graydon-Carter-not-short-fingered-vulgarian-sending-pictures-hands.html

Single-handedly is an interesting way of spelling inherited and bankrupted.  He's filed for bankruptcy 4 times.

Maybe he's sensitive over his fingers, but I don't see how it's a big deal or why I should care beyond a simple chuckle. How does him sending pictures to a magazine editor really affect the well-being and security of America and the world? At most, you can make a conjecture that him being sensitive about his fingers means he's thin-skinned about things that actually matter, and that it will lead to strained foreign relations leading to armed conflicts/security risks. That's a big IF, and those remain just that, conjectures. While the opposition actually has made mistakes that have lead to armed conflicts and security risks(Iraq war, Benghazi, email scandal) and corruption (DNC email leaks, taking donations from Middle Eastern regimes).

He created 515 businesses. 4 out of 515 is a pretty successful rate of failure. I'm pretty sure the vast majority of successful people have failed at one point or another, but the smart and successful ones are the ones who persevered through it.
