Donald Trump once wanted a comedian to be “deported” because of something he did to him during a visit to a golf course in the UK.
At 78, Trump is still one of the most talked-about figures in the world. He’s currently serving his second term as President of the United States after being re-elected in November 2024. His first term was from 2017 to 2021.
Outside of politics, Trump often relaxes by playing golf — usually at one of the many luxury courses he owns around the globe.
He’s said to be quite good at it too. According to Today’s Golfer, “he is a steady single-digit player who hits a solid deceptively long ball…. and he plays quickly, very quickly.”
Normally, a golf course is a peaceful and calm place — but that wasn’t the case at Trump Turnberry Golf Resort in Ayr, Scotland, back in 2016, when something totally unexpected happened.
A comedian, using the alter ego Simon Brodkin (previously known as Lee Nelson), made headlines around the world by crashing the resort’s reopening and handing out golf balls decorated with swastikas and Nazi symbols.
Nelson, 47, said that Trump “wanted to throw the book at him” before Police Scotland stepped in and “convinced Trump to not press charges”.
“I do have a criminal record, but also a lot to thank the Scottish police for – they were brilliant,” Nelson told The Scottish Sun.
