Trump causes a stir with genital comment and insult

Trump causes a stir with genital comment and insult Article by dpa • 1 hour • 2 minutes reading time Trump keeps attracting attention with insults. The Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump attracted attention with verbal outbursts during the election campaign in the hotly contested state of Pennsylvania. At an appearance in Latrobe, the hometown of golf legend Arnold Palmer, Trump spoke at length about the athlete, who died in 2016. "Arnold Palmer was a man through and through - and I say that with all due respect to women," said the 78-year-old. He added: "When he showered with other professionals, they came out and said: Oh my God. That's unbelievable." The comment, which was apparently referring to Palmer's genitals, caused a stir. Trump himself probably noticed that the shower comment about Palmer stood out and added a short time later: "I had to tell you the part about the shower because it's true. And we want to be honest." Palmer is a well-known name in the USA - a mixed drink made of iced tea and lemonade is also named after him. Palmer began his career in the 1950s. Together with other stars such as Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, he made golf popular with a wider audience in the 1960s. Harris: American people deserve better The "New York Times" wrote about Trump's appearance: "Trump is reaching new levels of vulgarity." At the same rally, Trump also called Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival in the presidential election on November 5, a "shitty vice president." Harris responded to the statement in a TV interview: "The American people deserve something much better." The President of the United States must set a standard - "not just for our nation, but also for the standard that we as a nation must set for the world." Trump's behavior demeans the office of the President, said the 60-year-old.
