The nerve of this guy... I can't believe he's president.While addressing the nation Wednesday afternoon following his 12-day trip to Asia, President Trump abruptly paused his remarks -- twice -- to take a sip of water.
Speaking at the White House, Mr. Trump initially fumbled in looking for the Fiji water bottle and then ducked below the lectern in search of refreshment. Someone off-camera pointed out the bottle to his right on a nearby table. Once he located the water, he took a sip. A few minutes later, he took another break from his remarks to sip a second time.

While he did look as if he's a clueless bumbling idiot when a) first trying to FIND the water, and then b) trying to drink it, this is hardly worth it's own thread (despite you more than most likely trying to be sarcastic, and failing miserably at it).

Maybe you should have said that to Trump last year and we would have Rubio as president:

Certainly is stupid, I'm guessing the only real reason it's being commented on is because of Trump mocking Rubio for the same thing.

Yes, Trump created a big deal of Rubio sipping water 3 years before Trump brought it up to give Rubio shit. I’m betting those who claim this is fluff against Trump, celebrated Trump trolling Rubio. Originally Posted by Casterbridge

Nope, it's not just that - it's also how he acted like a bumbling clueless idiot in both a) trying to FIND the water (and failing basic peripheral view perception) and then how he awkwardly drank it. Was a rather awkward minute of live television. >_< Originally Posted by Casterbridge

It doesn’t... there is a humor thread for Trump and am sure there is a media bashing thread within a couple of pages of this forum. Originally Posted by mvallas

I know you're crushed, but maybe Rubio will run in 2020.Last edited by -Nurot; 2017-11-16 at 02:55 PM.

Surely I'm not the only one that thought this was intentional. That he was pulling the most obvious and almost desperate attempt to distract his opponents with something ridiculous for a few days, like a covfefe.
I mean, he's never acted this weirdly before. It's definitely an attention grab.

I see it takes president tiny hands both of his hands to grab a bottle of water.

Seeing as how he is doing exactly what he has accused all of his opponents of doing. How much is left of uncovered accusations he made? Oh shit... maybe he has Parkinson’s, dementia, or what ever other disease his fan base was pushing Hillary as having. I think it’s Jaundice... Originally Posted by Grapemask

In my opinion were it not for the earlier mocking that this shouldn't have had a thread or any coverage on it for that matter.
But Trump being as abrasive as he is will attract negative attention for any reason, whether arguably deserved or not. Originally Posted by DeadmanWalking

No one knew that water could be so complicated!
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

That wasn't exactly my thought, but something along those lines. Originally Posted by Grapemask

Much more worrisome - this wasn't an act, and his mental health is declining rapidly. I would HATE to think the Cheeto is going to slither out of all this shit with a mental deficiency claim down the road.

Grandpa needs a straw. Or maybe he forgot there wasn't a russian pee whore to feed him the water.

It's quite amusing that after criticising Cruz for being a liar, Rubio for his on-camera water incident and Clinton for being under investigation by US intelligence, Trump is now generally regarded as a noted liar who had a water incident on camera and is under investigation by US intelligence.
