But since this is social media we’re talking about, there was some serious triggering after Jack’s endorsement of Trump:

The disgraceful comments here in response to Jack Nicklaus endorsing Donald Trump are a tremendous argument for shutting down Twitter…. https://t.co/vjV6J3QwTZ

Arnold Palmer was a great golfer who also will be remembered for inventing the delicious combination of ice tea and lemonade. Jack Nicklaus is a dumbass who can drink a tall glass of shut the f*£# up. https://t.co/RA0n4dbj9P

Didn’t Trump give huge tax cuts to people who own golf courses? That must be a pretty penny for you and him. Meanwhile millions of Americans are hungry. https://t.co/qLFoySibVb
