    She tore Trump apart. “Unfortunate” was absolutely the wrong headline. There’s so much gold here, and they went for the safe word.

    How about “Arnold Palmer was appalled by Trump, according to daughter”

    “My father was very modest,” Peggy continued. “We’ve lost our sense of outrage in this country over just about everything, and I’m not sure that’s OK

    My dad didn’t like people who act like they’re better than other people,” she said. "He didn’t like it when people were nasty and rude. He didn’t like it when someone was disrespectful to someone else. My dad had no patience for people who demean other people in public. He had no patience for people who are dishonest and cheat. My dad was disciplined. He wanted to be a good role model. He was appalled by Trump’s lack of civility and what he began to see as Trump’s lack of character.”

    I’m at a loss for words. This is such a weird story. Tim Walz is right. They are just weird. And creepy.

      Like Peggy Palmer suggests in the article, it’s not just weird it’s outrageous, and the people this works on? She says she’s concerned about them.

      Yea Peggy, all of us with two brain cells that sometimes rub together are concerned.

    I like to remember him as one part lemonade and one part iced tea.

      That’s a good one.

      Around central Florida we remember the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. Kind of a Mayo Clinic but for kids. Then there’s the Arnold and Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women just around the corner from there…

        Do people remember his giant penis? Are there statues or anything?

      Incidentally, has anyone ever done less to become famous? I mean, yay for me I mixed two drinks together!

        To clarify, he is a world famous golfer.

        It’s like saying Tiger Woods is famous for cheating on his wife.

        Michael Jordan is famous for playing baseball.

        Babe Ruth is famous for the candy bar.

        Arnold Palmer just happened to like lemonade and iced tea. It is weird what people are remembered for, but it’s not like he was just a dude who ordered a unique drink.

          Baby Ruth bars were named after Grover Cleveland’s daughter. Nothing to do with the famed Boston pitcher.

            I had no idea. I looked it up and the truth is even stranger still. Officially it’s named after Grover Cleveland’s daughter, but seemingly to avoid having to make a proper deal with Babe Ruth.

            It just “happened” to have the name of a famous baseball player who was experiencing a nation wide rise in popularity. It was named after the daughter of a president, a girl who A, was relevant 20 years ago, B, is no longer a baby, and C had passed away.

          It was a quote from the TV show Scrubs about Arnold Palmer.

    Trump has a diary where he keeps records off all of the famous dicks he’s seen or heard of.

    Alternate comment: Trump can’t keep track of what black man he nearly died in a helicopter crash with, but Arnold Palmer’s dong lives rent free in his head.

    Palmer’s daughter criticized Trump’s habit of name-checking admirable people as “a way of attaching those qualities to himself.”

    “Anybody who doesn’t see past that, I’m concerned about them.”

    She absolutely nailed it here. That’s exactly what he does. And it’s pathetic.

    “He had a really nice piece. Everyone wanted to see, but I saw it before anyone knew. I said they’re gonna be amazed, it was such a nice piece. People say mine is better, but his was also nice.” /s

        He was a New York media fixture long before he went national.

        The people in his home town know him best, which is why he lost NYC by 90% of the vote

    When he said that a woman asking him tough questions had “blood coming out of her wherever” we had to know that decency went out the window.
