Surprise: One rich old white man from a rich old white guy sport endorses another rich old white man from the sport.

 
To show how fucking stupid Nicklaus is, this is one line from his endorsement letter: "In my opinion, he has been more diverse than any President I have seen and has tried to help people from all walks of life -- equally"

 
"diverse"?????? - un-fucking-believable  

 

Jack Nicklaus -  a white male golfer who was born in 1940. He has lived his entire life in a sport that spent decades trying to keep women and Black people and other minorities out of the game.

 
Jack Nicklaus - In July 1994, while touring one of his golf courses near Vancouver, Nicklaus was asked by a Vancouver Province reporter about the lack of Black people in golf.  Nicklaus, then 54, responded by saying, "Blacks have different muscles that react in different ways," according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel on Aug. 21, 1994.  Nicklaus also said he didn’t "buy" that he and other players could have taken stronger action in helping end discrimination in golf, the Sun-Sentinel reported.

 
When LeBron James uttered a political opinion, Laura Ingraham told him to "shut up and dribble."  Yet when white athletes like Brett Favre, Bobby Orr and Jack Nicklaus give their political opinions, idiots like Lester and Cur-de-Loser post them with pride.  Hey Jack - shut up and putt.

Many Trump supporters, including some on TER, have said that they might support Trump but that they would never do business with him because they don't want to be cheated, not get paid, or have to endure years of litigation to try to get paid.  
.
I suspect that Jack Nicklaus might endorse Trump but that he would refuse to play a serious game of golf with him.  "Commander in Cheat" has been cheating at golf his entire life. "He cheats like a three card Monte dealer."

LPGA golfer Suzann Pettersen told a Norwegian newspaper that President Donald Trump "cheats like hell" at golf:  "They say that if you cheat at golf, you cheat at business. I'm pretty sure he pays his caddie well, since no matter how far into the woods he hits the ball, it's in the middle of the fairway when we get there." … "He always says he is the world's best putter. But in all the times I've played him, he's never come close to breaking 80."  [Trump claims to have a handicap of 2.8, putting him in the top 5% of golfers in the world.]

I believe that Arnie said that he would rather be dead than see Trump get elected president.  Sure enough ... Sammy Snead, too.

Trump was the first Presidential candidate to hire a successful woman campaign manager. The first President to appoint an openly LGBT person to a cabinet level position.  Trump was also the first president in history to support gay marriage from his first day in office.

25% of Trump’s senior campaign staff is POC, which is only slightly lower than Joe Biden’s. The majority of Trump’s campaign staff, in total and among senior advisers, is female.

From economic opportunity zones In minority neighborhoods to prison sentencing reform to support for historically black colleges and universities to record low unemployment, Trump has surpassed  most  other presidents when it comes to producing RESULTS  that benefit the African American community.  

Trump is polling better with blacks and Hispanics than he did in 2016.  Imagine how higher he would be if not for the MSM’s incessant negative coverage.  

Bottom line, when it comes to diversity, Jack is right and Big P is wrong.
