Donald Trump on Saturday began his Pennsylvania rally with a long-winded story about a former professional golfer, and included a detail that became the subject of mockery online: the purported size of the man’s genitalia.
Trump spoke for more than 10 minutes at the start of his rally about Arnold Palmer, who died in 2016. Trump has in the past been accused of hyping up his relationship with Palmer, who reportedly thought Trump was “disgusting.”
One particular moment of Trump’s diatribe stood out to critics online.
“Arnold Palmer was all man and I say that in all due respect to women, and I love women, but this guy — this is a guy that was all man. This man was strong and tough,” Trump said, adding, “And I refuse to say it, but when he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there, they said, ‘Oh my God. That’s unbelievable.’ I had to say it. We have women who are highly sophisticated here…”
Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, Kamala HQ, said, “Trump goes on long confused ramble” before quoting the former president.
A popular Harris page, Kamala’s Wins, said, “In a senile moment, Donald Trump is rambling about the size of Arnold Palmer’s private parts. This is insane.”
Republicans against Trump said, “Trump’s closing message to voters in PA is to talk about Arnold Palmer’s d—.”
Bloomberg columnist Matthew Yglesias echoed those sentiments, saying, “Trump’s closing argument is about the size of Arnold Palmer’s d—.”
HuffPost reporter Yashar Ali chimed in:
“At his Pennsylvania rally, former President Trump talks about the late golfing legend Arnold Palmer’s d— size.”
GOP pollster and Trump critic Sarah Longwell called the comment part of the ex-president’s “c—-nitive decline.”
