The above video also goes into Trump spending ten minutes talking about Arnold Palmer’s equipment, as is reported here: > **[Trump makes vulgar comments about Arnold Palmer at Pennsylvania rally](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-arnold-palmer-latrobe-pennsylvania-rally/)** > > Former President Donald Trump said of golfer Arnold Palmer, "this is a guy that was all man." Ah, yes. It’s reminiscent of the way George Washington used to bring up Tom Cribb’s Wedding Tackle in speeches during the first US presidential campaign. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > Tom Cribb’s Wedding Tackle “We didn’t even have to row across the Potomac that day, he just stood in the back and swayed back and forth!” I’ll admit I have no idea who Tom Cribb is, I just don’t know of any other time Washington was in a boat. ---

I’m surprised he isn’t being called Forrest Trump. What a dumb shit. ---

> [@Horatius](#): > > I’ll admit I have no idea who Tom Cribb is, I just don’t know of any other time Washington was in a boat. I deliberately didn’t say. I figured, with the internet, anyone interested can just look him up. But it oughtta be clear from satirical context. ---

This being the SDMB, I’m going to point out that Cribb was all of 18 when Washington died. But I appreciate the joke nonetheless. ---

I used Cribb because I knew of him, and he was around in roughly the same time, and figured other Dopers might know of him, too. ---
