Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain says he was invited to play golf with U.S. President Donald Trump, but he turned the offer down. In separate reporting, McBrain is described as saying Trump and his circle “should be put in jail,” and as explaining that the meeting did not appeal to him.
The outlets frame the remarks differently. Some emphasize the refusal itself and the sharpness of the language, portraying McBrain as reacting on political grounds. Others focus more on his personal stance toward Trump and what he characterizes as a broader pattern of behaviour, while still centering the same core claim: he rejected the invitation and voiced strong criticism.
Across sources, the common thread is McBrain’s anti-Trump sentiment and his reported response to the golf invite. Differences are mainly in wording and the amount of surrounding context included about his views, rather than in the basic facts of the story.
