Former President Donald Trump made headlines over the weekend when he brought up the size of Arnold Palmers genitals at a rally in the late golfers Pennsylvania hometown. According to a book by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman , it wasnt the first time.

In Habermans 2022 book about the Republican nominee, Confidence Man, the journalist reported that Trump once spoke to White House guests about Palmers privates before a different rally in Latrobe.

There were the countless stories attesting to Trumps prurience, indulging in gossip and obsessing over others looks, the paperback introduction of the book reads, according to The Independent . In one of the most memorable, as he prepared for a trip to Latrobe, Pennsylvania, for a rally in late 2020, Trump recounted for Oval Office guests the time he had seen hometown golf legend Arnold Palmer disrobed at the Latrobe Country Club, and the size of his genitalia.

On Saturday, Trump spoke for more than 10 minutes to a Latrobe rally audience about Palmer, who died in 2016.

Arnold Palmer was all man, and I say that in all due respect to women, he said.

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

Palmers daughter Peg Palmer Wears has since weighed in on the incident, saying she wasnt upset but it was a poor choice of approaches to remembering my father.

She revealed in a 2018 interview that her father, a staunch conservative, was appalled by Trumps lack of civility and what he began to see as Trumps lack of character during his 2016 presidential campaign.
