Donald Trump\u2019s 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 administration\u2019s handling of migration, many of his decisions have sparked significant controversy.<\/p>\n

When he\u2019s not busy signing executive orders and changing laws,\u00a0Trump enjoys playing golf\u00a0at the lavish courses he owns.<\/p>\n

Despite being 78, he is\u00a0described\u00a0as\u00a0\u201ca steady single-digit player who hits a solid deceptively long ball\u2026.and he plays quickly, very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the re-opening of the Trump Turnberry golf resort back in 2016, the business mogul\u2013turned president became a \u201cvictim\u201d of notorious comedian and prankster Simon Brodkin known for his alter ego Lee Nelson.<\/p>\n

As Trump started his speech, Brodkin threw some\u00a0swastika-emblazoned golf balls around him and yelled: \u201cDonald, here are the balls you ordered.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very sorry Mr Trump and thank you,\u201d he shouted, holding up the balls. \u201cAnd thank you, I apologise. My bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brodkin was then taken away by\u00a0the Scottish police who recognized him and \u201cconvinced Trump to not press charges.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI do have a criminal record, but also a lot to thank the Scottish police for \u2013 they were brilliant,\u201d Nelson told\u00a0The Scottish Sun.<\/em><\/p>\n

Comedian Simon Brodkin added that Trump \u201cwanted to throw the book at him.\u201d<\/h2>\n

\u201cWho wants to get waterboarded by the CIA when you can have an Irn Bru in the back of a police van?<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
