After a gagging on a collective wave of nausea, social media had a free-for-all with unproven allegations that President-elect Donald Trump at one point paid prostitutes to urinate on a bed once slept in by the Obamas.
On Tuesday, BuzzFeed published what it called “unverified” allegations about Trump’s Russian ties — including references to “golden showers” he was accused of commissioning at the Moscow Ritz-Carlton. (Trump has dismissed the entire story as “fake news.”)
“Are there gonna be golden showers at urineauguration?” one Twitter user asked after the soggy scandal broke.
“Thinking you could maybe get R. Kelly to perform at the inauguration?” asked another, referring to the R&B performer who had once been accused of engaging in similar activities as those described by the document.
“Trump’s into golden showers? NOW his complexion makes perfect sense,” asked former “Desperate Housewives” actor Alec Mapa.
There’s even reference to Trump being a fan of “trickle-down” economics.
Read on for a smattering of other tweets from those making lemonade out of the situation.
