Donald Trump has dismissed salacious claims that he was secretly filmed watching Russian prostitutes urinate on a hotel bed where the Obamas once slept by suggesting it couldn’t have happened because he’s germophobic.
“Does anyone believe that story? I’m also very much of a germophobe by the way,” he said at a press conference in New York. “It’s all fake news. It’s phony stuff. It didn’t happen.”
The unproven sex act claims – which now prompted #goldenshowers to be trending on Twitter – were first published by Buzzfeed as part of a dossier of dirt.

But it’s not the first we’ve heard about Trump’s fear of contamination. He avoids pressing buttons on elevators because they have been tapped by so many people, opponent Jeb Bush said on the campaign trail Trump had an aversion to shaking people’s hands and crew members who worked with him on “The Celebrity Apprentice” claimed they were instructed never to touch him.
During his first press conference since being elected, Trump denied he was ever shown or told about a dossier of claims passed to intelligence chiefs that in 2013 he was filmed without his knowledge by FSB, the successor to the KGB, watching sex acts by prostitutes he had supposedly hired at Moscow’s Ritz-Carlton hotel to defile a bed President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama had once shared.
He added that he is constantly on his guard for secret filming when traveling abroad, saying, “‘I told many people, be careful because you don’t want to see yourself on television – cameras all over the place.'”

Also all over the place are memes and jokes inspired by the wild story while other hashtags like #Watersportsgate and #PEEOTUS are also flooding Twitter.
The dossier further alleges that Russia has been grooming Trump for a presidential run for at least five years but that claim is being largely ignored as the internet posters amuse themselves with posts about golden showers. “Are there going to be golden showers at the inauguration?” one Twitter user asked.
Here are some other reactions.
