Less than 24 hours after Donald Trump went on a bizarre rant about golf legend Arnold Palmer, the athlete's oldest daughter dismissed the former president's vulgar comments about the size of her father's penis.
"I thought it was an unfortunate way to remember my dad," Peggy Palmer told The Independent.
At a Saturday campaign rally at the Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Latrobe, Pennsylvania -- Palmer's birthplace -- the former president spent the first 12 minutes of his speech relaying a crude anecdote about the exalted athlete. "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."
On Sunday, Peggy, 68, said Trump "appropriating my dad in this situation... seems inappropriate." Still, she added, she's not spending a lot of time thinking about it or letting it get under her skin. "My father was very modest," Peggy continued. "We've lost our sense of outrage in this country over just about everything, and I'm not sure that's OK... There are other things about my dad that would be better to focus on."
