Former President Donald Trump delivered unusual and vulgar remarks Saturday about the late golf legend Arnold Palmer while campaigning in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, as the campaign enters the final stretch to Election Day.
“He was an incredible man, he was an incredible champion, and he came from Latrobe,” Trump said.
Trump noted that he’s been to Latrobe and told the story before, but “not in this kind of detail.”
Palmer’s daughter Peg Palmer Wears said in 2018 that her father, a political conservative who died in 2016 shortly before Trump was elected, was “appalled” by Trump.
“What would my dad think of Donald Trump today?
As the election campaign nears its conclusion, former President Donald Trump made strange and offensive comments about the late golf great Arnold Palmer on Saturday while campaigning in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
At a rally held at the local airport named in Palmer’s honor, the former president spoke for over ten minutes about Palmer, who was born in Latrobe.
Trump claimed, “He was an amazing champion, an amazing man, and he came from Latrobe.”.
Then it seemed that his remarks were not on point.
The former president remarked, “This is a guy that was all man,”. They said, ‘Oh my God, that’s unbelievable,’ after he took showers with the other pros. This man was tough and strong, and I won’t say that. “”.
“I had to say it,” Trump continued, to laughter. “,”.
Though “not in this kind of detail,” Trump stated that he has previously visited Latrobe and recounted the tale. “..”.
Peg Palmer Wears, Palmer’s daughter, stated in 2018 that her father, a political conservative who passed away in 2016 just before Trump was elected, was “appalled” by Trump.
She then told author Thomas Hauser, “I think my dad would cringe if he saw Donald Trump today.”.
She told The Associated Press on Sunday that she is “not really upset” about Trump’s comment and that she doesn’t have anything important to say. “..”.
Palmer Wears remarked, “I think it was a poor choice of approaches to remembering my father, but what are you going to do?”.
Trump led the audience in a call-and-response regarding the foreign policy and economic record of the Biden-Harris administration later in his speech. He said, “everything they touch turns to…” as the audience responded with the profanity.
Kamala Harris, you need to let her know that you’ve had enough and that you simply can’t stand it any longer. We can’t tolerate you. As vice president, you are a s-–. “The worst,” Trump told the audience of his Democratic opponent. “As vice president, you are the worst. You’re dismissed, Kamala. “..”.
On CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, House Speaker Mike Johnson was repeatedly questioned about Trump’s remarks about Arnold Palmer. However, he shifted the conversation to Harris’ record, stating, “Set aside the rhetoric.”. “.”.
Johnson stated, “Policies should be the focus here, not personalities.”.
On the campaign trail, Harris has been sharpening her criticism of the former president and asking questions about Trump’s mental health in recent days. Trump is “becoming increasingly unstable and unhinged,” she told reporters on Saturday. “.
She continued by saying, “The American people are seeing it, witnessing it in real time,”.
