<\/p>\nDonald Trump has remained a lightning rod for debate since his re-election in November 2024, with many of his policies continuing to polarize opinion. From slapping sweeping tariffs on nearly every country to doubling down on his hardline stance on migration, his administration\u2019s actions have drawn both staunch praise and heated backlash.<\/p>\n
When he\u2019s not wielding a pen over executive orders or rallying supporters at events, Trump is most often found on the green, indulging in one of his favorite pastimes: golf. Despite being 78, he\u2019s often described by golf insiders as a \u201csteady single-digit player\u201d with an unexpectedly long drive and a reputation for playing at lightning speed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But his love of the sport once made him the unexpected target of a well-known prank.<\/p>\n
Back in 2016, as Trump was relaunching his newly purchased Trump Turnberry golf resort in Scotland, he found himself at the center of a stunt pulled off by notorious British comedian Simon Brodkin \u2014 also known by his alter ego, Lee Nelson.<\/p>\n
As Trump began to deliver his speech, Brodkin calmly approached the stage and began tossing golf balls decorated with swastikas into the air. With an exaggerated apology, he shouted, \u201cDonald, here are the balls you ordered!\u201d before holding them up and adding, \u201cMy bad.\u201d<\/p>\n
The stunt shocked attendees and was swiftly cut short by Scottish police, who quickly recognized Brodkin. Trump, clearly not amused, reportedly wanted to press charges.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Brodkin later told The Scottish Sun that despite having a criminal record for similar antics, the Scottish officers were remarkably good-humored about the whole thing. \u201cThey were brilliant,\u201d he said. \u201cWho wants to get waterboarded by the CIA when you can have an Irn Bru in the back of a police van?\u201d<\/p>\n
Rather than dragging him through the legal system, the officers simply put him on a plane back to London and told Trump\u2019s team that he\u2019d been deported.<\/p>\n
Brodkin, known for his bold and sometimes outrageous stunts, has a long history of targeting public figures. Among his most infamous pranks: joining Manchester City\u2019s players during their warm-up (he was arrested), storming Kanye West\u2019s Glastonbury set in 2015, and throwing $600 in cash at then-FIFA President Sepp Blatter, claiming it was part of North Korea\u2019s World Cup bid.<\/p>\n
