Every time the pee-tape story is about to slip out of my mind, Trump brings it up in a public forum. In 2021, he announced, “I’m not into golden showers,” while addressing the National Republican Senatorial Committee retreat, though no one had asked. He brought it up during at least two separate speeches he delivered in Ohio last fall. And he mentioned it again on Saturday during a campaign rally in Fort Dodge, Iowa.

    I thought the story was that Trump paid Russian sex workers to pee on a bed used by Obama. If so, wouldn’t Trump’s base enjoy that?

      That is where the story ended up, and the theory was that Russia bugged the hell out of the room to try to spy on whoever they could, including the Obamas and then Trump, thus the existence of a “pee tape.”

      A further point would be that the Russian prostitutes probably pushed this whole thing on the orders of the KGB, so even someone who really believes every bit of this shouldn’t really think he likes golden showers. He was duped into participating in something that can be used as leverage against him, if any of it is true at all.

      We don’t have any evidence to say it’s true, for the record. But that is my understanding of the rumor.
