President Trump pauses during remarks to take a sip of water, Marco Rubio chimes in

Social media goes crazy when President Trump awkwardly took a sip of water during a recent press conference. For many, it was a throwback to Marc Rubio’s similar antics back in 2013.

Sometimes, you really just need a drink of water.
Sen. Marco Rubio knows this.
And President Trump now knows this too, as we all witnessed during his Wednesday remarks.
After first mistakenly thinking there was no water available, the president stopped twice during remarks to take a drink from a Fiji water bottle.
You may argue that this does not matter. But don’t forget that Trump himself has taken Rubio to task time and again over drinking water during a speech.
Marco Rubio is being crucified by the media for drinking water during speech!

Next time Marco Rubio should drink his water from a glass as opposed to a bottle—would have much less negative impact.

That includes one time during the 2016 presidential election, when then-candidate Trump mocked Republican rival Rubio during a rally before dramatically tossing a water bottle aside.
On Wednesday, Rubio couldn’t help but offer some advice to the president.
And Twitter couldn’t help itself, either.
Just call it a watershed moment.
