Trump pauses address to nation to take 2 big swigs of water

President Donald Trump had his own water bottle moment.

Trump, fresh from his marathon trip to Asia, paused during his address to the nation on Wednesday to take a swig of water — twice. […]

At first, he couldn’t find any in his presidential lectern. “They don’t have water? That’s OK,” he said. When he was informed it was sitting on a small table to his right, the president unscrewed the cap, took a drink and then resumed his speech. He took another swig later in the speech.

Trump’s water break drew instant comparisons to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s 2013 speech after then-President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address. Giving the Republican response, Rubio lunged for a drink of bottled water during the televised address — all while keeping his gaze on the camera — and later laughed it off as a case of dry mouth.

Nothing about the content of the address.

Not that I should be surprised.

***WARNING***

AP = All Propaganda

What good does it do to post this b/s from a known Lying Leftist outlet other than demoralize the readers? If this story is true and has some redeeming value, at least get the story from a relatively reliable source, not from a known Lying Leftist operative posing as a “news” organization. We should be mostly publishing the truth on FR, not the lies, and as much good news as possible to bolster morale.

Yawn. Too bad it was not Trump water. Maybe next they will complain about the brand and say he was advertising.

When I watch the ‘news’ these days, I see so much time wasted on useless, unimportant cr@p, while there are so many important stories that could be related.

(And I guess one gets pretty dehydrated flying in airplanes on a long, whirlwind Asian tour.)

There are things you can do once you have the job that you shouldn't do in a job interview. For example, I wore a sport coat, dress pants, shirt and tie to interview for the job I have now.

But I wear blue jeans and denim shirts to work and I STILL feel overdressed some days.
