Donald Trump is often spotted on the golf course in his spare time, but he once got more than he bargained for when he visited the UK.
The U.S. President once wanted a comedian ‘deported’ for what he did to him when he visited a UK golf course.
Trump is among the most spoken about people on the planet and is currently in his second presidency of the United States, having been voted in back in November 2024 – he was previously president from 2017 to 2021.
But in addition to dealing with US and world affairs, he often winds down by playing golf at lavish courses around the world – many of which he owns.
And the 78-year-old is supposedly relatively gifted with a club in his hand, with Today’s Golfer reporting that “he is a steady single-digit player who hits a solid deceptively long ball…. and he plays quickly, very quickly”.
Typically, a golf course is a relaxed, idyllic environment, but this was certainly not the case at Trump Turnberry Golf Resort in Ayr, Scotland, back in 2016 as things took an unexpected turn.A comedian under the alter ego Simon Brodkin – formerly Lee Nelson – made world news at the time after interrupting the re-opening of the resort by handing out Nazi-themed balls with swastikas emblazoned on them.
Nelson claimed that Trump “wanted to throw the book at him” before Police Scotland intervened 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.
