Donald Trumpโs policies have been a hot topic since his re-election in November 2024. From the tariffs imposed on nearly every country in the world to his administrationโs handling of migration, many of his decisions have sparked significant controversy.
When heโs not busy signing executive orders and changing laws,ย Trump enjoys playing golfย at the lavish courses he owns.
Despite being 78, he isย describedย asย โa steady single-digit player who hits a solid deceptively long ballโฆ.and he plays quickly, very quickly.โ
At the re-opening of the Trump Turnberry golf resort back in 2016, the business mogulโturned president became a โvictimโ of notorious comedian and prankster Simon Brodkin known for his alter ego Lee Nelson.
As Trump started his speech, Brodkin threw someย swastika-emblazoned golf balls around him and yelled: โDonald, here are the balls you ordered.โ
โIโm very sorry Mr Trump and thank you,โ he shouted, holding up the balls. โAnd thank you, I apologise. My bad.โ
Brodkin was then taken away byย the Scottish police who recognized him and โconvinced Trump to not press charges.โ
โI do have a criminal record, but also a lot to thank the Scottish police for โ they were brilliant,โ Nelson toldย The Scottish Sun.
Comedian Simon Brodkin added that Trump โwanted to throw the book at him.โ
โWho wants to get waterboarded by the CIA when you can have an Irn Bru in the back of a police van?
โI was in there for ages with the coppers, and it felt more like I was on a stag do than anything else. They drove me to the airport and put me on a plane back to London and told Trump and his team I was deported.โ
Among the rest,ย Brodkinโs pranksย include joining in with theย Manchester Cityย teamโs warm-up, after which he was charged and arrested, storming the stage during Kanye Westโs performance at Glastonbury in 2015, and throwing $600ย at FIFA President Sepp Blatter and shouting it was for North Koreaโs bid to host the World Cup.
โThereโs many targets who would be fun to go for but might end up with a death sentence,โ Brodkin toldย Skyย in 2019. โLike if I went for Kim Jong Un.
โAnd then I think if you go for someone like the Queen, that would just be a national catastrophe because you need to go for people with that sweet spot who most people pat you on the back and go, โthat was funny.’โ
