Trump recalls telling Melania about the “golden shower” allegations, but she immediately dismissed them as false because she is “germaphobic”
- The former president recreated the story during a campaign rally in Fort Dodge, Iowa
- He joked that Melania never believed the allegations that he paid prostitutes to urinate on him because she knew he was a “germophobe”
- He said the claims and documentation were part of the “biggest witch hunt of all time” against him
Donald Trump said his wife doesn’t believe allegations that prostitutes urinated on him as part of the disgraced “golden shower” dossier because she is “germaphobic.”
A much-disputed and controversial 2016 dossier prepared by former British spy Christopher Steele shows that Russian authorities secretly filmed prostitutes urinating on Trump in a Moscow hotel room.
On Saturday, the former president used a campaign rally in Fort Dodge, Iowa, to discuss the allegations, recreating the story of Melania Trump telling her supporters about the claims.
He said: “He was with four prostitutes. Do you think it was good that night? Drive up and tell my wife, “It’s not true, honey. I love you so much. It’s not true!”
“She didn’t actually believe it because she said, ‘He’s germophobic, he doesn’t like it. He doesn’t like golden showers, as they say, that’s what they call it. Is not”.

I don’t like this idea. I thought it would be a big problem. It was going to be a rough night. But she was very good at it. She said, “You don’t mind in this case.”
He claimed the allegations were a “continuation of the greatest witch hunt of all time” against him.
Steele is the founder of Orbis Business Intelligence and previously headed the Secret Intelligence Service’s Russia office.
He was the author of the so-called Steele dossier, which included allegations that Trump had been “compromised” by Russia’s FSB security service.
The dossier, which was leaked to BuzzFeed in 2017, also alleged that Putin “supported and directed” an operation to “cultivate” Trump as a presidential candidate for “at least five years.”
The “golden shower” dossier claimed, among other things, that Russian security services could blackmail Trump with allegations that he paid prostitutes to urinate on the bed where Barack and Michelle Obama were sleeping.
Trump has long denied the contents of the dossier and there is no evidence that such a tape exists.
But Steele has since doubled down on his claims, saying the tape “probably exists” and claiming Russia may have hidden it because Trump offered the country “a pretty good price” during his term.
Steele doubled down on claims made in the 2016 “golden shower” dossier.
Trump is a notorious germophobe, known for saying “I can’t get sick, I can’t get sick” when kicking someone out of a room by sniffling.
Before he was elected, he once wrote that shaking hands was “barbaric” because it spread disease.
Last month, Trump tried to bring a lawsuit against Steele in the High Court in London.
He rejected allegations that he engaged in “golden showers” with Moscow prostitutes and paid bribes to Russian officials, calling them “false” and “false.”
He files a data protection lawsuit against Orbis Business Intelligence and seeks compensation for his suffering.
In October, the High Court heard that Trump was bringing a case over two notes in the file alleging that the former president attended “sex parties” and performed “perverse sexual acts” with prostitutes at a hotel while in St. Petersburg Ritz Carlton in Moscow.
Trump said in a written witness statement that the dossier contained “numerous false, spurious or trumped-up allegations” and denied that he had hired prostitutes for “golden showers,” attended “sex parties” in St. Petersburg or turned over “sufficient material to blackmail me.”
