Why Is Trump Suddenly Bringing Up The Infamous ‘Pee Tape’ Again?

Something very strange happened at disgraced former president Donald Trump’s rally in Youngstown, Ohio on Saturday evening.

Out of nowhere in the middle of Trump’s speech to his cult members/supporters, he suddenly brought up the matter of the infamous “pee tape” from the dossier compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele.

Remember the pee tape allegation? It went something like this: While he was visiting Moscow, Trump stayed in a hotel that had once hosted Barack and Michelle Obama during an official state visit. Trump booked the same suite the Obamas had used, hired two Russian hookers, had them come up to the room and urinate on the bed. It was never clear if Trump was on the bed as the peeing took place, but that was the implication, and it enraged the Donald when he found out such a sordid affair had his name attached to it.

So it was a bit strange when Trump referenced that videotape in his speech, but he most certainly did, according to Business Insider:

“How would you like to be me and go home and explain that one to my wife? ‘Darling, it wasn’t true, I swear it wasn’t!'” Trump said while speaking at a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, on Saturday.

“Remember that one? With the hookers from Russia,” he said, adding that the allegations were “phony.”

If it’s so phony, why even bring up the topic? Guilty conscience? Or could there have been evidence from U.S. intelligence in those classified documents he was hoarding at Mar-a-Lago? Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

Oddly enough, Trump did the same thing during a speech to a group of Republicans in Palm Beach last year:

“I’m not into golden showers.”

Sure thing, Donnie, but you sure do like to repeatedly deny something you claim is phony.
