Donald Trump's Comment About Kamala Harris Backfired
On October 21, Donald Trump held a rally in Greenville, N.C., during which he made a new claim about Kamala Harris amid concerns about his own mental fitness.

Donald Trump Commented About Arnold Palmer's Private Part
Trump raised eyebrows at his Latrobe, Pa., rally on October 19 when he began talking about Arnold Palmer's private part. He said it would be more fun if the late pro-golfer, who died in 2016, could join him on stage because he was "all man."
"When he took the showers with other pros, they came out of there. They said, 'Oh my God. That's unbelievable,'" he continued while laughing. "I had to say. We have women that are highly sophisticated here, but they used to look at Arnold as a man."
Donald Trump Failed to Pronounce 'Assyrians' Correctly
The ex-POTUS had an awkward blunder during a rally in Arizona.

Sam Darmo, a co-founder of Assyrians for Trump who was present at the rally, said, "Thank you, President Trump, for making a mistake in our name. Because you know what? Assyrians became very famous. More Americans know who the Assyrians are today than they did back on Sunday."
He Made Up a Word
While at a rally in Coachella, Calif., the 78-year-old presidential candidate stirred the pot for making up a word in his speech.
"I will very quickly 'defleet,'" said Trump. "We are going to take inflation. And we are going to deflate it. We are going to deflate inflation. We are going to defeat inflation."
Donald Trump Encountered a Heckler
On October 12, Trump bizarrely screamed at a heckler at his rally in Coachella, Calif.
"Back home to mommy," Trump, who previously declared he would keep women safe, yelled.
He added, "She goes back home to mommy. 'Was that you, darling?' And then she gets the h--- knocked out of her," he said to the crowd as they booed and jeered at the protester. "Her mother's a big fan of ours. You know that, right? Her father. Her mother."
