Donald Trump Seemingly Forgets Joe Paterno Is Dead In Awkward Speech

Donald Trump, who is no stranger to saying controversial things, was back at it in Pittsburgh on Wednesday night, and this one is guaranteed to leave you scratching your head.

Pittsburgh is the home of the Pitt Panthers, but Trump decided to mention deceased former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno in an extremely weird and confusing nine-second clip.

The Trump campaign later clarified that the candidate was referring to bringing back the Paterno statue, which was taken down at Penn State following the Jerry Snadusky scandal.

But that explanation might make more sense if he was speaking at Penn State, and not in the city of one of its chief rivals.
