Donald Trump's bizarre tribute to legendary golfer Arnold Palmer stuns netizens.
Former President Donald Trump sparked outrage at a Pennsylvania rally with a bizarre 10-minute tribute to golf legend Arnold Palmer.
Former US President Donald Trump caused shock and outrage during his Pennsylvania rally on Saturday with a strange 10-minute tribute to golf legend Arnold Palmer. Speaking for about 90 minutes in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, Trump devoted an unusual amount of time to Palmer, who was born in the city and passed away in 2016.
Trump referred to Palmer as “all man” and made an eyebrow-raising comment about the late golfer's biography, saying, “when he took showers with other pros, they came out of there and they said, 'Oh my god, that's unbelievable.'” He noted that he “had to say it” but held back from being more explicit out of respect for the “highly sophisticated” women in the audience.
While attendees at the rally laughed at his remarks, social media reactions were overwhelmingly critical. Richard Hanania, founder of the Thinktank Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology (CSPI), shared a video of the moment and commented, “Imagine what he'll be saying when his brain is four years older than this.”
Communications strategist TJ Adams-Falconer pointed out that Trump spoke for 15 minutes and ended with a “story about the size” of Palmer's genitals. Sportswriter Pablo Torre quipped, “A nonzero number of Americans are voting for Trump so they can call stuff 'gay' again while their guy is lost in a reverie about the late Arnold Palmer's literal penis.”
In a tweet, Republicans Against Trump emphasized that Palmer would have been “appalled” by Trump, citing his daughter Peg, who said in 2020 that Palmer was disturbed by Trump's lack of civility and character.
News organizations noted Trump's comments, with NJ.com labeling them “crude,” the Daily Mail describing the incident as “bizarre,” and Politico calling them simply “raunchy.”
