The U.S. President is frequently seen playing golf in his own time, but on one occasion, when he traveled to the UK, he received more than he expected.
Donald Trump allegedly demanded that a comedian be “deported” for mistreating him when he was at a golf course in the United Kingdom.
One of the most talked-about individuals on the globe, Trump, 78, was elected president of the United States in November 2024, his second term in office after serving from 2017 to 2021.
In addition to handling US and international issues, he frequently unwinds by playing golf at opulent courses all around the world, many of which he owns.
Additionally, 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.” The 78-year-old is reportedly relatively gifted when holding a club.
A golf course is usually a laid-back, picturesque setting, but in 2016, things took a surprising turn at the Trump Turnberry Golf Resort in Ayr, Scotland, when a comedian going by the stage name Simon Brodkin, formerly Lee Nelson, made headlines around the world by disrupting the resort’s reopening by distributing Nazi-themed balls that had Swastikas on them. 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.
The Scottish police persuaded Trump not to file charges despite his want to truly throw the book at me.

It felt more like I was on a stag do than anything else during the long time I spent inside with the coppers. They informed Trump and his crew that I was deported after driving me to the airport and boarding a plane to return to London.
Furthermore, Nelson had previously participated in a hoax on a well-known international person.
Kanye West, former FIFA President Sepp Blatter, and former UK Prime Minister Theresa May have all been humiliated by the comic.
But when it comes to pranks, Nelson acknowledged that some people are off bounds.
In 2019, Brodkin told Sky, “There are a lot of targets who would be enjoyable to pursue but could receive a death sentence.” If I went for Kim Jong Un, for example.
“And 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, ‘that was funny’.”
