Trump was campaigning in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, where Palmer was born in 1929 and learned to golf from his father, who suffered from polio and was head pro and greenskeeper at the local country club.

“Arnold Palmer was all man, and I say that in all due respect to women,” Trump said. “This is a guy that was all man.”

Then he went even further.

“When he took the showers with other pros, they came out of there. They said, ‘Oh my God. That’s unbelievable,’” Trump said with a laugh. “I had to say. We have women that are highly sophisticated here, but they used to look at Arnold as a man.”

    I wish to share the brilliant headline I came up with in Political Weirdos for this.

    What can I say, I haven’t been on stage in over 15 years. You’re my audience and sometimes I need to re-use old material.

      Sounds more like a big Palmer, maybe a two Palmer.

        Yeah, but that’s from a liar who thinks pro golfers all shower together.

        I’m an old man. Screens aren’t supposed to have a black background unless all the text is green.

          …what about amber displays?..our VT-200 terminals were green, yes, but our lab full of packard-bells were amber…

          (or my applecolor monitor 100 which could toggle between monochrome green and full color modes)

            I actually did have a color monitor for my IIe. I just always think back to the black-and-green Apple monitors when someone talks about dark mode.
