Thirsty Trump's Desperate Dash For Water Has Everyone Crying With Laughter
President Donald Trump once mocked Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for needing a drink of water during a televised speech.
On Wednesday, the tables were turned when Trump himself had an awkward moment involving an ill-timed water break during a televised speech ― and it quickly made waves on social media as well as late-night TV.
Here’s “Late Show” host ― and frequent Trump nemesis ― Stephen Colbert:

“The Daily Show” also had some fun at the president’s expense:

On Twitter, the well of jokes never ran dry:
Trump makes Senator Rubio look like a world champion water drinker compared to his clumsy display. Has the man never opened a bottle of water before? https://t.co/iUVMPFUssH

The best part of Trump’s water sip awkwardness is him holding the bottle with two hands like he’s drinking from a sippy cup.

Once again, POTUS shows Rubio how it's done. You need water? You stop your own speech, check your rostrum, complain that there's no water, wait for someone to say the water is outside the rostrum, then take a moment to drink from a bottle that's bigger than a baby Poland Spring. pic.twitter.com/mPAKnHjwsb

Don't make fun of Trump for drinking water during a press conference. Make fun of the fact that he needed two hands to drink out of one of those small Fiji bottles. pic.twitter.com/8NH439I82m

In 2013, Trump tweeted at least 5 times about Rubio's water incident including that he should "drink his water from a glass as opposed to a bottle". (Today, Trump sipped from a bottle.) pic.twitter.com/z8RSTPl775

And, of course, Rubio also made a splash:
