Donald Trump can’t seem to stop talking about the allegations that he hired sex workers to perform a “golden showers ” show at a Moscow hotel years ago.
While speaking at a rally in Iowa on Saturday, Trump recounted explaining the story to Melania Trump .
“You think that was good that night to go up and tell my wife, ‘It’s not true, darling. I love you very much. It’s not true,’” the former president said.
Turns out, he needn’t have worried.
“Actually that one she didn’t believe because she said, ‘He’s a germaphobe, he’s not into that, y’know?’” Trump recalled. “‘He’s not into golden showers,’ as they say they called it. I don’t like that idea.”
A salacious and discredited dossier compiled by ex-British spy Christopher Steele claimed that Trump hired sex workers to pee on a hotel bed that had once been used by President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama , and that Russian agents had recorded the scene.
Trump has repeatedly denied the claim.
But he also keeps bringing it up, including at a rally last month , where he also mentioned the former first lady.
“How about going home to my wife on the shower, y’know? The golden shower, they called it,” Trump said. “And I had to explain that to our great first lady... The golden shower was a problem for me.”
Trump has also frequently pointed to his reputation as a germaphobe as a reason it can’t be true even saying as much to James Comey, the FBI director at the time who informed Trump of the allegations.
“I’m a germaphobe,” Trump told him, according to Comey’s book . “There’s no way I would let people pee on each other around me. No way.”
