An Australian man who shares his name with former United States president Donald Trump has spoken to media after appearing in a Sydney court.
Sporting a blond wig, orange tan and red tie to emulate his namesake, the 33-year-old was facing charges of assault after an incident last year.
He had showed a stranger his license outside a central Sydney hotel and allegedly grabbed it with both hands when she did not give it back.
Trump's court appearance was 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 outside Downing Local Court.
"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, former US president Donald Trump is facing his own court battles as he runs for re-election in this year's presidential race.
He faces 91 felony counts across four criminal cases.
The Australian Donald Trump wished his counterpart success.
"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.
