Another day on the campaign trail. (Trial? Well, maybe you’re right.) Donald Trump doesn’t seem to do well at either trial nor the trail these days, although he has been known to doze at both. That’s the sublime irony. Most normal people are at their most alert when in a criminal trial or certainly when they’re running for president of the United States. Many biographies over the years attest to this. Trump, however, finds those venues boring and checks out in slumber.

Trump was in Latrobe, Pennsylvania today and he will be in Lancaster, Pennsylvania tomorrow, then on to Greenville and Concord, North Carolina on Monday, Greensboro, North Carolina on Tuesday, Zebulon and Duluth, Georgia, Wednesday, Las Vegas, Nevada on Thursday, then two days off on the 25th and 26th (again, nobody takes days off this close to show time, other than the exhausted septuagenarian with the girdle and hair plugs) and then a big rally in New York City on Sunday, October 27. And no, I don’t know why he wants to waste time in New York but I assume it’s part of his fantasy of flipping New York and New Jersey red.

I give you this level of detail because if there is one thing that changes quicker than you change your socks, it is Trump’s appearance calendar. So on to tonight’s debacle, wherein he manages to bottom his own record for strangeness.

I would not be surprised if Trump does trot out the N-word next. We always said that the only thing he hasn’t done is soil himself on stage. Apparently, that has already taken place, so the N-word is the new bridge. And he’s unhinged enough to do it. He seriously is. Watch J.D. Vance age 30 years the day it happens. And yes, even from down here it gets worse.

This event started out weird. Trump took stage while the Undertaker’s Theme played. Again, you cannot make this up.

It’s totally on the nose, as was Theme From Titanic, but that’s real, too. Either Trump or somebody in his entourage is making these decisions. If a writer was making them, that person would be called a hack, but in Trump world, these things do take place.

Since Latrobe, Pennsylvania is Arnold Palmer’s hometown, a nod of the hat is certainly apropos. But going on and on — and then talking about the man’s genitalia?

Let’s see now (checks notes) Trump’s been up there 15 minutes, ten of which has been devoted to anecdotes about Arnold Palmer’s golf game and genitalia and then he spent a few minutes rhapsodizing about the late 1700s and late 1800s when people died all the time of pnemonia, cholera, tonsillitis, measles, and the average lifespan was 42. And Trump announces that, as president, he will immediately overrule a state law. I guess to be a MAGA you must lack all ability to think or analyze and only have the ability to break out into cheers of “USA! USA!” on cue.

There’s more to this but not worth looking at — not that these clips were particularly *worth* looking at but at least they give you an idea of how demented Trump is. You’ve got the rest of this week’s calendar. Let’s see if he actually manages to show up to all those places. And I am particularly intrigued to see what he does in New York City in the last week of Election 2024 campaigning. My spidey sense tells me that’s going to be weird.

  2. Golf was something I for some reason (long story about disdain I got from the local country club) admiring golf but came to realize it was the sportsmanship displayed by the competitors. Despite fierce determination to win they’d shake hands and mean it wishing each other good luck, and would end the round with a heartfelt handshake regardless. Nicklaus was my favorite but Palmer stood out too, setting an example of play hard and play to win but when it’s over it’s over. Win or lose, move on. Don’t be an asshole glorifying how great you were, don’t go trashing your opponent and if you lost don’t go trashing the winner. Of course, as I said the competitors fought hard – but fair. Golf was like rugby that way – when the game is done everyone sets aside whatever happened and drained a keg of beer and partied it up!

    Like Nicklaus, Palmer was an ambassador not just for golf but sportsmanship in competition. He set an example. I could overlook the elite pro golfers being Republican because they were well-to-do and that’s just how things were. People with money, and especially golfers like Nicklaus and Palmer who had built large business ventures would be Republican. And it was Palmer who truly paved the way for athletes making fortunes from endorsements. Few of them today realize how much they owe to Palmer.

    Anyway, the top golfers would play with VIPs now and then including Presidents. Or other top polificians and celebrities or business figures. Palmer’s daughter’s quote jumped out at me because he died in late Sept. 2016. And he’d endorsed Trump. So had Nicklaus and I have never been able to view either man with the overwhelming respect I once had ever since. One might argue that given how things unfolded Palmer might have rescinded his endorsement of Trump but I’m not so sure. Nicklaus STILL hasn’t criticized Trump and he and Arnie were staunch rivals but still friends and proverbially on the same wavelength.

    Prior to Trump rising to become a viable candidate and even well into the 2016 campaign both were key figures in golf’s “Grow the Game” campaign to get more regular folks, not well-off people to be able to play the game. To make it truly available to the masses. Trump then started talking about shit like being able to play golf should be an “aspirational” thing – if you hadn’t “made it” then you weren’t welcome on a golf course and should stick to “little people” activities. And that marketing campaign which so much money had gone into died right then and there.

    I sure as hell get why Trump would talk up Palmer while in LaTrobe. And concede Palmer might not have thought much of Trump talking about his “family jewels” but I doubt Palmer would speak out against Trump. Nicklaus sure as hell isn’t doing so either.

  3. Whoa. Talk about penis envy.
    However, Palmer was a “philanderer and womanizer”, as rumors speculated and Callahan’s book Arnie: The Life of Arnold Palmer confirmed. Maybe that’s the kernel of Trump’s focus — he *still* wishes he “coulda been a contender” to be a stud. And a GOLF stud no less …
    Damn. Talk about pathetic.

  4. Add in the fact some of biggest names took the blood money from the bone sawing Saudis in their effort to wash the blood off their hands, I don’t watch or follow golf any longer. Trump, by bringing up penis size, a subject America has endorsed culturally as the measure of a man, once again exposes his insecurities. He could have a horse dick, but he’s never going to be a man. He’s a spoiled little boy. Too bad we have a country full of shallow selfish spoiled little children who endorse him as their savior. Sorry Dylan…even after all this time we, as a society, can’t answer your repeated question: how many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man? You were spot on with the answer: the answer is blowing in the wind. Grow the phuck up America.

  6. Stormy Daniels herself said he was smaller than the average man and nowhere nesr a man who appears in porn movies. But its easy to see now that trump gushing over the size of another man speaks volumes. I’ve always thought he liked guys ans this seems to pave the way in that direction. I have heard people say what does Putiin have on trump? Could it be photos or movies of trump with boys? Its worth thinking about. And i mean boys not men
