I trust I need not delve into the details of “goldenshowergate.” I also trust that I need not spend to much effort explaining that I’m not a big fan of “conspiracy theories.”
However, sometimes it’s amusing to speculate. So, here are some possibilities to explain the origin and purpose of “goldenshowergate.”
- Trump is behind this. Purpose: get Buzzfeed and other news media outlets to run slanderous, scurrilous nonsense because… well, remember Gawker? I’m sure Hulk Hogan and his newfound millions remembers it. Trump is always on the lookout for new sources of income, so perhaps suing some of the more gullible media outlets into bankruptcy might be a way to go.
- Trump is behind this. Purpose: get the Big Scandal out of the way right out of the gate. It seems reasonably certain that some *real* scandals will come down the pike sooner or later; if the media has shot their wad with this nonsense, anything that follows will either be disbelieved (“oh, there they go again with more #fakenews”), or people simply won’t care. Scandal inoculation, I suppose.
- Some essentially random schmoe produced the “dossier.” Purpose: did it for the lulz, just trolling the media.
Any others?
