At a rally in Pennsylvania this past Saturday, Donald Trump took shots at Vice President Kamala Harris, highlighted support from steelworkers, and made some eyebrow-raising comments about golfing icon Arnold Palmer as he geared up for the upcoming election.
Trump labeled Harris as “radical left” and urged supporters to express their frustration with her leadership.
“You need to tell Kamala Harris that enough is enough,” he declared. “You’re a terrible vice president. Kamala, you’re fired! Get out of here!”
Steelworker Support
During the event, Trump proudly showcased endorsements from several steelworker unions, including U.S. Steelworkers 1557 vice president Richard Tikey standing by his side.
“Today I’m thrilled to have the backing of three U.S. steel locals,” he stated, emphasizing his popularity among working-class voters. However, it’s worth noting that not all unions have endorsed him—some, like the United Steelworkers, have backed Harris.
Arnold Palmer Comment
In a surprising turn, Trump referenced Arnold Palmer, the late golfing legend, implying he was quite the manly figure. He shared a comment about Palmer that drew laughs but may have left some in the audience puzzled.
“When he showered with the other pros, they’d say, ‘Oh my God, that’s unbelievable,’” Trump remarked. While the crowd chuckled, his comments received mixed reactions on social media, with some confusion and a bit of criticism.

Trump to Attend Steelers Game
Before the rally, Trump mentioned plans to attend a Pittsburgh Steelers game, but he seemed to get the date wrong.
“I’m heading to Pennsylvania,” he said in an interview. “I’ll do a big rally, and then I’m going to see the Steelers play the New York Jets.”
However, the Steelers were actually scheduled to play the Jets the following night, a detail quickly highlighted by Harris’ campaign.
Fox News Switches Coverage
In a notable media moment, Fox News cut away from Trump’s rally to cover an event featuring Harris in Atlanta. A clip shared by Harris’ campaign suggested that the network switched to “Vice President Harris’ much bigger rally,” although attendance numbers for both events were not disclosed.
