Trump was speaking in Latrobe, Palmer’s birthplace, on Saturday evening when the 12-minute tangent began. The former president began by praising Palmer’s career and describing his previous conversations with him. “There were a few golfers that you could say may be slightly better, a few, not many,” he said. “But there was nobody that had his magic.”

But the former president’s anecdote, which is just the latest in a series of increasingly bizarre rally claims, quickly devolved as he discussed some intimate details about the golfing icon.

“This is a guy that was all man,” Trump said. “He took showers with the other pros, they came out of there, they said, ‘Oh my God, that’s unbelievable.’ I had to say it.”

“I had to tell you the shower part because it’s true,” he added.

I am very impressed with myself for that title pun, thank you very much.

He's got a really nice dick. Wow, what a man. People were coming from miles away to admire it. I thought it was pretty nice, but mine is better, everyone says so. /s

Also, do golf players on the high end like Arnold Palmer really have to shower with the other guys?

They don't have to

I guess this would make LBJ his favorite president

His actual favorite president is, horrifically and possibly unsurprisingly, Andrew Jackson. The president that acted like a dictator, directly committed genocide and crashed the economy.
