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.
It's a clever enough idea in the abstract, but I don't think it works that way in reality. The picture of Trump having crapped himself really was fake. He did not have to deny it himself. It was done for him, and probably just added to his ability to say it's all fake news.
If you want to stand up for truth, lying is a poor technique.
