Simon Brodkin has pulled his latest comic stunt, at a press conference of Donald Trump.

The American businessman is poised to secure the Republican Party nomination to run for the US Presidency in November. He arrived in Scotland today to reopen one of his business ventures, a luxury golfing resort called Turnberry.

Trump's presidential bid has attracted much criticism after a series of inflammatory and intolerant statements and policies, such as calling for a complete ban on all Muslims entering the United States, and building a wall along the country's border with Mexico.

Appearing in a wig and Turnberry-branded sweatshirt, Brodkin interrupted Trump at the start of an open-air press conference. Apologising for having failed to hand them out earlier, he produced golf balls "available from the club shop", emblazoned with the Nazi swastika.

The comic was swiftly whisked away by Trump's security team.

Brodkin last hit headlines in March, gatecrashing an event held of Volkswagen cars as he filmed content for a new online sketch series. It is not yet clear if today's stunt is also for the All 4 comedy.

Meanwhile, Scottish comedian Janey Godley was also present at the Turnberry course, protesting Trump's arrival.
