Wears previously discussed Palmer’s opinion of President Trump during a 2018 interview with author Thomas Hauser, saying, “My father didn’t like people acting like they were better than other people. He had no patience with people who are dishonest and cheat. My father wanted to be a good role model. He was appalled by Trump’s lack of civility and what he saw as Trump’s lack of character.”
