Comedian Gets Out Nazi Balls To Prank Trump

By Forward Staff June 25, 2016

As Donald Trump faces charges of not doing enough to rein in his white supremacist supporters — especially with regard to online anti-Semitism — British comedian Simon Brodkin was pranking him with Nazi swastika golf balls.

Just as Trump was supposed to be speaking to a press conference at Trump Turnberry, a new luxury resort and golf course in Scotland, the Jewish comedian (who also goes by the name Lee Nelson) posed as a Turnberry representative and started handing out the balls as “official” merchandise.
