The former US President’s remarks were part of a bizarre speech that included a story about the size of former golfer Arnold Palmer’s penis.

In a 10-minute tangent about Palmer, who grew up in Latrobe, Trump said the late golfer was “all man”.

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

“This is a guy that was all man.”

The Republican, who owns a number of golf courses, added: “When he took showers with other pros, they came out of there and they said, ‘Oh my God, that’s unbelievable’.

“I had to say. We have women that are highly sophisticated here, but they used to look at Arnold as a man.”

Trump finished his rally praising the crowd that had gathered just outside of Latrobe’s airport, named after Palmer.

“They give you a little extra security nowadays, you notice?” Trump asked in reference to recent assassination attempts.

“I got more machine guns than I’ve ever seen … look at these guys,” he said.

“We’ve got more guys, and every one of them is like central casting too, holy s***.”

Bringing it back to the golfer, he added: “They look like Arnold. Can’t look better than Arnold.”

Musk to give $1m a day to Trump supporters

Businessman Elon Musk has said he will give out US$1 million a day to people signing a pro-Trump petition in Pennsylvania.

The winners will be picked at random from people who sign the petition by his AmericaPAC campaign group, which he set up to support Trump’s return to the White House.

The Tesla and X boss is hoping the lottery-style giveaway will encourage voters to engage with Trump’s campaign in the final weeks before the election.

It is illegal to provide payment to get people out to vote, a rule that icecream makers Ben and Jerry fell foul of when they promised to hand out free products to voters in 2008.

But Musk has found an effective loophole because nobody is being paid to vote in the election.
