Trump says he overpowered an older Arnold Palmer in golf and reveals how golfers reacted to Palmer in shower
Former President Trump claims to have competed against golf legend Arnold Palmer at his own game, but with a notable age advantage.
Trump explained during a rally in Pennsylvania Saturday at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in the golfer’s hometown of Latrobe, why his game was physically superior to Palmer’s during a round 12 years ago.
“I got to know him when he was 69 years old, and I played pretty much with him, a lot of him,” said Trump, 78, who was 17 years younger than Palmer. “And as he got older — you know, when you get older, you start to lose a thing called distance, and I’m a good golfer, not like that, but I’m a good golfer.
“And I felt so good because I was hitting it a little bit longer than Arnold, but he was, by this time, 75, 76, and I’d hit it four, five yards past him.

“I said ‘Arnold, let me ask you: Thirty years ago, 40 years ago, was I longer than you?’” Trump said.
Trump’s comments about the golf legend didn’t stop there. Trump also referred to the former golfer’s manhood and how other players reacted to Palmer in the shower.

“He was all man,” Trump said of Palmer. “This man was so strong and tough, and I refused to say it, but when 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 of it because it’s true.”
Palmer was born in Latrobe in 1929 and died in the neighboring city of Pittsburgh in September 2016, just a month and a half before Trump’s presidential election win. Pennsylvania was a key swing state in Trump’s victory.

Palmer was nicknamed “The King” of golf and is credited as one of the sport’s most influential figures.
During Saturday’s rally, Trump recalled stories of Palmer’s wealth as a fellow business mogul.
“Arnold was a very rich man,” Trump said after recounting stories about how the former golfer helped finance various businesses.
Trump’s event also featured former Steelers stars Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell.
Brown delivered a speech on behalf of Trump and mocked Trump’s opponents, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
“Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, did you really know they want to put tampons in the boys’ bathroom?” Brown asked the crowd. “That’s really insane, right?”
A new Fox News survey of Pennsylvania voters has Harris narrowly ahead of Trump by two points (50-48%) among registered voters, and the race is tied at 49% each among likely voters.

The July survey, conducted shortly after President Biden dropped out and endorsed Harris, but before she was named the nominee, was deadlocked at 49%. But even in March, when Biden was the presumed nominee, the contest was close to even.
Since July, Harris has widened her lead among women (by nine points), non-White voters (plus-eight) and voters under age 30 (plus-17). Her support has held steady among college graduates and urban voters. Ninety-two percent of Harris supporters are certain of their vote versus 86% of Trump supporters.
Trump’s most loyal groups include men, Whites without a college degree, independents and rural voters. He has nearly doubled his lead among men and the small group of independents since July.

3 dead in apparent murder-suicide spanning from Pennsylvania to Illinois, police say
Two women are dead in Pennsylvania and a man is dead in Illinois after an apparent murder-suicide, police said on Wednesday.
According to a report from the Pennsylvania State Police, the investigation began in Hillside, Illinois, when police there were dispatched after a man reported two women dead in Jackson Township, Pennsylvania. Police said that when officers got to Hillside, about 15 miles west of Chicago, they found that the man had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
After identifying him, troopers said Hillside officers contacted police from Jackson Township to request a welfare check at the man’s home on Dior Drive, about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh.
Police said officers used forced entry to get into the home and found two women dead from apparent gunshot wounds. It’s believed the two women were family members of the man who died by suicide in Illinois, investigators said.
Pennsylvania State Police said they’ve assumed control of the case and are “actively investigating” what happened surrounding the three deaths.
Police didn’t release any names, saying the process of formal identification and notification of next of kin hasn’t been completed. Sources told KDKA that the victims were a husband, wife and their daughter.
“At this time, investigators believe there is no ongoing threat to the public, and law enforcement is not searching for any additional individuals in connection with this incident,” police wrote in the public information release report. “This remains an active and ongoing investigation.”
State police didn’t release any other details on Wednesday but said more information will be made public when it’s available.
“My first reaction was shocked because this is such a close-knit neighborhood, and to think something that horrible could happen here is very tragic because they were such a good family,” neighbor Danielle Sporer said on Wednesday.

19 Vermont school budgets fail as education leaders debate need for reform
MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX) – Most Vermont school budgets passed Tuesday, but 19 districts and supervisory unions saw their spending plans rejected — an uptick from the nine that failed in 2025, though well below the 29 that failed in 2024.
Some education leaders say the results show communities are largely supportive of their schools.
“We’re starting to kind of equalize out again towards the normal trend of passage of school budgets each year,” said Chelsea Meyers of the Vermont Superintendents Association.
Sue Ceglowski of the Vermont School Boards Association said the results send a clear message. “Vermont taxpayers support Vermont’s public schools,” she said.
Meyers said the results also raise questions about the scope of education reform being considered in Montpelier. “If we are going to reform the system, it might not require sweeping broad changes as are being considered right now, but a more concise approach to consider that inequity,” she said.
But in districts where budgets failed, officials say structural changes are still needed. In Barre, where the budget failed, Barre Unified Union School District Board Chair Michael Boutin said the Legislature must, at a minimum, create a new funding formula. “We have to have that in order to avoid the huge increases and decreases — the huge increases that we’ve seen in the last couple years,” Boutin said.
He said the rise in school budgets is separate from why property owners are seeing sharp tax increases. The average state increase in school budgets is 4%, but the average property tax increase is 10%, driven by cost factors including health care. “There’s a complete disconnect, and that’s a product of the terrible system that we have in Vermont with our funding formula,” Boutin said.
Ceglowski says the state should address health care costs before moving forward with rapid education policy changes. “Addressing the rapid rise in the cost of school employees’ health benefits by ensuring a fair and balanced statewide bargaining process for those benefits,” she said.
The 19 districts that did not pass their budgets will need to draft new spending plans to present to voters, which often requires cuts. Twelve school districts are scheduled to vote at a later date.
