'Aussie Donald Trump' speaks to media after appearing at Sydney court - 9News

An Australian man who shares his name with the former United States president Donald Trump has spoken to media after appearing in court in Sydney.

The 33-year-old was dressed in a blonde wig and a suit with a red tie and had orange tan on his face when he walked out of Downing Local Court today. 

The man, whose legal name is Donald Trump, was facing charges of assault after an incident last year.

He had showed a stranger his license outside Stonewall Hotel in Darlinghurst and, when she didn't give it back, he allegedly grabbed for it with both hands.

Trump's appearance in court today was, however, fleeting as the prosecutor withdrew the assault charge.

"I was on my beautiful Trump plane, so I came to Australia, my beautiful ID with the name Trump on it, it was stolen, the police then charged me," he told media.

"All I did, I put my hand on my beautiful ID, because who doesn't want a Trump ID, I love my Trump ID so much.

"I grab it and the police, they charge me with occasion assault bodily harm, it's a disgrace to our country."

Meanwhile, his namesake is fighting his own court battles overseas as he runs for re-election in this year's presidential race.

"I would say to American Donald Trump, I think this guy, first of all, he's a great guy, he's a beautiful guy, it's a witch hunt, same as me, it's a witch hunt," he said.

"I say to you, I'm on your side and I'm telling you to win, win and win."

Trump refers to himself as the "Aussie Donald Trump" online, where he posts impersonations and videos supporting his namesake.
