I'm reminded of a story I once heard about LBJ. During a campaign, he suggested to an aide that they start a rumor that his opponent has sex with pigs. The aide said, "We can't prove that". LBJ replied, "We don't have to prove it. We just have to get him to deny it."

I think a fake photo of Trump having crapped himself is much the same, and his denial will get more news coverage than the photo.
