Marcus, do you think that Fraudulent Document is true?

OF course not. But hey, maybe you're right and turnabout is fair play (see: pizzagate)

I enjoyed this analysis - which makes no claim that it's true. http://nymag.com/thecut/2017/01/the-sheer-perfection-of-donald-trumps-golden-shower.html

I didn’t care if I believed it. It was wabi-sabi, perfectly imperfect, wildly lopsided, and yet, somehow, balanced enough to stand. It was the tale of Donald Trump’s Russian prostitute pee party.

Wabi-sabi rumors are stories that are so unbelievable, they become perversely believable again. They feel right, even when you know they aren’t, and so they take on the force of legend. Examples include Richard Gere’s gerbil, Catherine the Great’s horse, and Taylor Swift’s immortal life as a Satanic priestess. They’re rumors so compelling that even when you realize they’re false, you stay up all night reading about parallel universes — because if Mick Jagger didn’t eat a Mars Bar out of Marianne Faithfull’s crotch in our universe, then surely there is some alternate reality out there, where he did?

Wouldn’t it be funny if Trump was trying to convey his hatred for Barack and Michelle Obama — who enjoy a famously loving and supportive marriage — but all he could think to do was pay a bunch of Russian hookers to pee on a bed, a bed that he’s decided symbolizes the Obamas’ marital bed, but is actually a bed he just paid to sleep in? This rumor is so ham-fisted, it barely qualifies as a metaphor for fears about Trump’s relationship with Russia. In this story, Trump literally invites Russians into bed with the American presidency, so they can piss all over it. Oh, and he’s paying for them to do it.
