Justin Bieber mocks President Donald Trump’s ‘small hands’ during Manchester Benefit Concert

The Canadian pop-star took a swipe at the Republican in the VIP section backstage after the name of Niall Horan's hit 'Slow Hands' was mistaken for 'Small Hands'

JUSTIN BIEBER wasn’t afraid to show his emotion as he broke down during his performance at the One Love Manchester concert.

And he showed no fear either as he continued the special evening by heading on to the city’s Australasia Restaurant and Bar with manager SCOOTER BRAUN.

While he arguably stole the show with his emotional gig, it was NIALL HORAN who impressed Justin.

He went to the VIP watching area to watch the ONE DIRECTION singer play - before taking a swipe at PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP in the process.

An onlooker said: “Justin was dancing to Niall’s new song Slow Hands and laughed when someone thought the song was called Small Hands.

“He quipped: ‘No, that’s our President’, before adding of Niall’s tune: ‘That’s a hit right there, that’s a hit’.”

President Donald Trump's 'small hands' is a popular internet meme that arose during his 2016 election campaign.

It was spread after a comment Presidential hopeful Marco Rubio made at a rally.

He joked: "He is taller than me, he's like 6' 2", which is why I don't understand why his hands are the size of someone who is 5' 2"

"Have you seen his hands? And you know what they say about men with small hands -- "

Rubio was eventually beaten by Trump.

Since then telly shows such as The Simpsons have featured caricatures of the President with small hands.

And tweets by corporations have also featured the jibe, such as one made by the official McDonald's account and subsequently deleted in March saying: “@RealDonaldTrump You are actually a disgusting excuse of a President and we would love to have @BarackObama back, also you have tiny hands.”

In July last year Justin turned down a £3.8million offer to perform at a concert funded by President Trump's Republican Party after Scooter threatened to quit.
