Former President Trump highlighted the size of late golf legend Arnold Palmer’s genitals at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday night. Pennsylvania is a key battleground state that will determine which party wins the White House in just over two weeks.
The gathering was held in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, the birthplace of Palmer, widely regarded as one of the greatest golfers of all time and who died in 2016 at the age of 87. It’s common for political candidates to name-check local heroes, but Trump’s focus on Palmer’s genitals during the trip was unusual.
“Arnold Palmer was a fully human being. I say that with all due respect to women, and I love women. But this man, this man, this man was all men,” Trump said. The president cheered on supporters at a rally at a local airport named after Palmer. “This guy was strong and tough. I refuse to say it, but when he took a shower with the other pros, when they came out of there, they were like, ‘What the hell? I can’t believe it,” he said. ”
The campaign of Trump’s rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, ridiculed the former president’s comments.
“Mr. Trump’s Pennsylvania closing argument is literal junk,” Harris’ campaign said in a statement. In a speech at a Pennsylvania rally that his campaign described as “the beginning of final closing arguments,” Donald Trump focused on the issue that matters most to voters in this election: the… anatomy of the late golfer. I guessed it.”
During Saturday’s rally, the former president described Harris as “just like the vice president” and urged his supporters to vote in the state with the most electoral votes of any swing state in the nation.
Asked about Rev. Al Sharpton’s comments on MSNBC, Harris said, “Americans deserve better. … You have to understand the standards you have to meet and set the standards.
“We step into rooms around the world with the self-appointed authority we have earned to represent the United States of America and speak about the importance of democracy and the rule of law, and we have been considered a role model. … “It means observing not only international rules and norms, but also certain standards such as etiquette.”
One of Trump’s senior advisers told reporters before Saturday’s rally that the former president will use his appearance at La Trobe to begin introducing his final message to voters ahead of the Nov. 5 election. He said he was deaf.
According to Real Clear Politics, recent Pennsylvania polls have averaged Mr. Trump with a lead of less than 1%, and both candidates and their surrogates have been conducting intense campaigning in the state in the final weeks of the election. There is.
This isn’t the first time Trump has mentioned penis size during his campaign. In 2016, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio responded to President Trump calling him “Little Marco” because of his height by making fun of the size of his hands.
“I don’t understand why his hands are 5:2,” Rubio said during the rally, noting that Trump is taller than him. “And you know what they say about men with small hands? You can’t trust them.”
Trump responded during a debate in March 2016 by raising his hand and spreading his fingers for the audience to see.
“Look at those hands, are they small hands?” he said. “And he pointed to my hand and said, ‘If your hands are small, everything else must be small too.’ I guarantee you there’s nothing wrong with it, I guarantee you.”
Meanwhile, Ms. Harris campaigned Saturday in major cities in two other states important to the November election: Detroit and Atlanta.
At an evening rally in Georgia, the vice president spoke about President Trump’s role in overturning the federal right to abortion and the death of Amber Nicole Thurman. The 28-year-old single mother died at a hospital in suburban Atlanta due to rare post-abortion complications that delayed a scheduled surgery, ProPublica reported.
The delay in treatment comes as a result of a new state law that criminalizes surgery to remove fetal tissue from the uterus, with some exceptions, and reproductive rights advocates say the law is making doctors unable to do so for fear of prosecution. He argued that this could frighten patients into not having surgery.
“Donald Trump continues to refuse to take responsibility for the pain and suffering he has caused, and refuses to even just acknowledge the pain and suffering that actually occurred. Last week’s Fox News Town In the hall, they even mocked Mr. Thurman’s family for sharing their story,” Harris told the rally, adding that Trump expected Mr. Thurman’s family and Democratic politicians to speak at the former president’s town hall. I showed him a video of him talking about the press conference he held earlier. Hall focused on women voters last week.
“Oh, that’s good,” President Trump told Fox News host Harris Faulkner. “I promise you’ll get a better review.”
Harris said President Trump’s response demonstrated the core values of the Republican Party.
“What we see constantly from Donald Trump is exactly what this clip shows,” she said. “He downplays their grief and talks about himself and his TV ratings. It’s cruel.”
