The Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, during his speech in Pennsylvania, spent 12 minutes talking about golfer Arnold Palmer instead of summarizing his campaign.
Details: According to the New York Times and Financial Times, Trump spoke at Latrobe Airport, which is named after the famous American golfer who passed away in 2016. The politician began his speech with memories of Palmer, calling him a friend.

During his speech, Trump detailed Palmer's childhood and the challenges he overcame in his life, also sharing personal anecdotes about him.
Quote: “This guy was a real man. He was strong and tough. When he showered with other professional athletes, they would come out and say, ‘Oh my God! This is incredible.’ We have many experienced women here, but they used to admire Arnold,” Trump remarked.
These comments elicited laughter from the audience, and the media interpreted them as a suggestion regarding the athlete's genitals. Notably, Arnold Palmer is considered one of the greatest golfers in history and was the first in the sport to earn a million dollars.
