Golden Shower: Local Bro Caught Bathing In Trump Taj Mahal Hotel Suite During Liquidation Sale

"I wanted to see how the shower was," the Jersey bro told a TV news crew that stumbled upon him. Then he asked for some soap — and a towel.

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ — A local bro who stopped by the liquidation sale at Trump's bankrupt Taj Mahal hotel and casino on Thursday afternoon to "sample" one of the hotel's showers in his skivvies was rudely interrupted — then full-on interviewed — by a local TV news crew touring the premises on Facebook Live.

Yet like the best of local bros, our humble intruder remained unwaveringly chill for the entirety of his in-suite interrogation.

"What are you doing?" a newscaster for NJTV asked the bro, as the station's camera crew packed into a steamed-up bathroom on the 50th floor.

"I'm just taking a shower," the local bro answered calmly.

"Why?" the newscaster asked.

Bro: "Um, I mean, it's a liquidation sale. They're giving us a sample, so I wanted to see how the shower was. I thought maybe I could get a free shower."

Newscaster: [Laughs.]

Bro: "Also because I have cold water at my house right now. So this is a nice way... to get a nice little hot shower."

Newscaster: "So your clothing is somewhere out here?

Bro: "My clothing's right there, along with my wallet. See my wallet? Don't steal my wallet while I'm taking a shower... !"

Newscaster: "I won't do that."

Bro: "But I was wondering, do you guys have any soap, or shampoo? Or a towel?"

Newscaster: "Can't help you."

Bro: "Can't help me?"

Newscaster: "No, sorry."

Bro: "OK, um, have a nice day. If you find anything, let me know — it's pretty wet."

Newscaster: "We'll keep an eye open."

Bro: "Thank you."

Newscaster: "Thank you."

The cameraperson then panned to the bro's clothes — a pair of khaki shorts, a white T, some sneakers and a trucker hat, all crumpled into a pile on the sink counter — then back to the bro, who at that moment emerged refreshed from his shower sesh and wrapped two for-sale pillowcases around his waist in a characteristically chill (and mostly unsuccessful) attempt to "cover up."

And that, friends, is how you win the Trump Taj Mahal liquidation sale.
