Donald Trump had an awkward moment with a water bottle during TV speech … then the internet exploded
Several minutes into a White House speech summarising his just-completed trip to Asia, Trump bent down to reach for water on a lower shelf of his podium … and it went downhill from there
Revenge is a dish best served cold. And wet.
US President Donald Trump awkwardly reached for a water bottle during a televised speech Wednesday – in a scene that surely handed sweet satisfaction to Marco Rubio, the Republican senator and Trump’s one-time rival for the White House.
Trump – and many others – had relentlessly mocked Rubio for taking an indecorous swig his four years earlier, as he delivered a speech rebutting Barack Obama’s State of the Union address.
Now fate has come full circle.
Several minutes into a White House speech where he would proclaim “the tremendous success” of his five-nation tour of Asia, Trump bent down to reach for water on a lower shelf of his podium.
Realising no bottle was there, he popped up to announce: “They don’t have water. That’s OK.”
