Trump is tweeting about the Buzzfeed document: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/819000924207251456
It’s certainly got his attention. 
At a minimum, it’s worth a skim.
Even if he didn’t have a Czech stamp, that doesn’t mean anything. I have been to Prague and never got my passport stamped. I traveled there from withing the Shengen area, so no stamp needed.
Certainly. From late 2007 onward (I think December maybe) Czech Republic joined the Schengen Agreement. I’m just wondering what he thought a picture of a passport cover was supposed to show.
… on a bed Obama slept in.
Quite a coincidence wouldn’t you say?
In other words, he’s basically responding in the same way he responded whenever the media reported something unfavorable that they had on camera during the campaign.
When did they allegedly write the fanfiction?
It’s a dumb move by President Kompromat. He is turning it into a topic for legitimate news coverage by linking to it.
I have the feeling that this is just the beginning of an avalanche of shit.

You just won the internet!
This may be the just break the Clinton campaign has been waiting for.
That tweet looks more like it was posted by one of his handlers. We’ll have to wait until 3 AM to find out what he really thinks.
Well, it’s a coincidence. But a lot of things are coincidences without being plagiarism.
Mind you, as I said, I have no particular confidence in the genuineness of the “leaked report”. But that doesn’t mean that I should have any more confidence in the unsupported assertion of some anonymous skeevy weirdo on the internet that the “leaked report” must have been copied from his alleged “fanfiction” about Trump’s urinary proclivities.
In any case, the “report”'s description of Trump’s hiring Russian prostitutes for a urination show is barely one paragraph out of about 35 pages of detailed allegations regarding political and business deals. Are you claiming that all of that was plagiarized from your linked source’s “fanfiction” too?
(I repeat: I’m not in any way defending the veracity or genuineness of this alleged “report”. I’m just not buying the claim that the “report” must have been copied from some sleazy “fanfiction” just because both of them allegedly mention Trump using acts of urination to symbolically defile a bed associated with Obama. I’d guess that the idea of Trump using acts of urination to symbolically defile a bed associated with Obama has independently occurred to a whole lot of fairly creepy people over the last few months. It does sound like something Trump would do.)
pleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease…
Look, I think this whole thing smells like hoax.
And I swear, I would never normally wish this on a president. Really. Not Bush, nor hypothetical Romney or Kasich… But Trump is an absolutely deplorable piece of shit.
Right, how could the Russian government possibly have even known which hotel the Obamas stayed at during their last official visit, let alone which room. Not only that, but they were able to ensure that Trump got the exact same room! When I went to Vegas last spring I had to slip the desk clerk a twenty to get a room overlooking the strip. No way Putin has that kind of cash to throw around.
That’s the thing. While I’m from the left side of the political spectrum, I don’t get why many liberals are wetting themselves repeating this story. It doesn’t do our side any good to repeat the story as truth or probable truth without any verification. If it turns out to be a hoax, that’s another nail in the coffin of journalistic credibility and trust. I feel like we’re in danger of a media "boy cries wolf’ effect, so when/if Trump is caught red-handed doing something naughty, nobody in the middle will be left to believe it. If I were the cynical conspiratorial type, I’d think this is an effort to continue eroding the media’s credibility.
What’s the worst that could happen to Trump? He’s going to be president-- that won’t change. He appears to be immune to shame. Maybe some of his cronies get investigated?
Not that it proves anything, but “Some Guy Wrote a Fake News Story About a Guy Almost Everyone Hates” probably wouldn’t be one of the lead stories on CNN, WaPo, NYT, and NBC News right now.
The Buzzfeed document and the Wall Street Journal are talking about Trump’s lawyer Cohen paying Russian hackers!! Amazing if it’s true.
