Trump Drinks Water Like Small Child During Big Speech

Talk about making a splash.
LOADINGERROR LOADING

President Donald Trump is getting lots of attention for his national security speech on Monday ― and as much for the way he drank water, as for what he said.

Trump reached for a glass of water during his address, and carefully held onto the small cup using both hands.

Trump’s water-sipping is especially ironic considering that he lambasted Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for the awkward way Rubio grabbed a water glass during his 2013 rebuttal speech to President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address.

Twitter really poured it on in response to Trump’s careful sip:

Trump actually drinking water is almost more awkward than Trump mocking Marco Rubio for drinking water. pic.twitter.com/eMxoEYoHFF

Had Trump drank water from a glass before he became President? pic.twitter.com/mLreSQ3U1D

This is how I tell my 4-year-old to drink water...with both hands so she doesn’t spill it. #Trump #water https://t.co/89ePvJ4vWx

Trump sure is having a lot of awkward water-sipping moments for someone who mercilessly mocked Rubio for the exact same thing. pic.twitter.com/I7w4evNkXB
