Internet fixates on ‘golden showers’ in allegations about Donald Trump and Russia

A document claims the Russian government has compromising personal and financial information about President-elect Donald Trump, according to U.S. intelligence officials, multiple news organizations reported Tuesday afternoon.

BuzzFeed published a 35-page document that outlines many of the allegations, though it said the report is unconfirmed.

Social media, however, jumped on one aspect of the unverified report — the most lurid allegation that Trump hired prostitutes in Russia to urinate on each other in front of him on a bed that President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama had once used. The report adds that the room had microphones and concealed cameras. It refers to the allegation using the slang “golden showers (urination) show.” The term was trending on Twitter Tuesday night.
