During a rally in Pennsylvania this evening, Donald Trump diverged from his main speech to discuss Arnold Palmer, sharing anecdotes that included comments about the late golfer’s anatomy.
This unexpected moment garnered attention on social media during the event in Latrobe, PA, the birthplace of Palmer. Trump praised Palmer, describing him as “all man,” while also expressing his admiration for women. He went on to make a controversial remark about Palmer’s time in the showers with fellow golfers, which caught many off guard.
The rally was intended to preview Trump’s closing argument for his campaign. Known for his off-the-cuff remarks, Trump has recently had several peculiar moments at his events. Just last week, he responded to medical emergencies in the audience by playing recorded renditions of “Ave Maria” and other songs from his campaign playlist, swaying along for nearly 40 minutes.
The topic of male anatomy isn’t new for Trump; it resurfaced during the 2016 Republican primary debates when Marco Rubio poked fun at Trump’s hand size, implying it related to masculinity. Similarly, former President Barack Obama referenced Trump’s anatomy at a Democratic National Convention speech.
Arnold Palmer, widely regarded as one of the best golfers in history, passed away in 2016.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris campaigned in Detroit alongside Lizzo and later attended an event in Atlanta featuring Usher as a speaker.
