Potus Envy

I guess this AP headline gives new meaning to ordering a large Arnold Palmer. Trump kicks off a Pennsylvania rally by talking about Arnold Palmer’s genitalia. “When he took the showers with other pros, they came out of there. They said, ‘Oh my God. That’s unbelievable.'” Look, I don’t want to spend any time on a Freudian analysis of a guy who dances to YMCA, spends most of his campaign money on ads obsessing over prisons paying for transition surgeries, and publicly reflects on the size of another guy’s junk, so let’s focus on the two important points here. Trump (who is known more for his short game) is not fit to be president. And Arnold Palmer didn’t like Trump and would completely hate him now. In short (or long, I guess), Arnold Palmer thought Trump was a dick. Arnold Palmer’s daughter, whose name is Peg (because of course it is), reflected on what her dad thought of Trump. “Arnold Palmer’s daughter once said her late father was ‘appalled’ by Donald Trump’s ‘lack of civility’ and character years before the GOP nominee crudely remarked on the golf legend’s penis size at a Pennsylvania rally over the weekend … She recalled her father’s ‘sound of disgust’ while watching Trump speak on television prior to that year’s election. ‘Like he couldn’t believe the arrogance and crudeness of this man who was the nominee of the political party that he believed in … Then he said, ‘He’s not as smart as we thought he was,’ and walked out of the room. What would my dad think of Donald Trump today? I think he’d cringe.'”

+ Is this really major political news? Not really. But at least it can take my mind off the stress that yet another major poll finds the race neck and neck.
