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.

During the 2016 campaign, Trump frequently skewered Rubio, his one-time GOP rival, for needing to quench his thirst during speeches. …

Carbon is a pollutant and drinking water is evil.

Please don’t give the rats any ideas.

Now we know!!! He must be impeached immediately. All that water could have gone to the world’s starving children.

Dear AP, this is your idea of news? That a human being drinks a couple swigs of water???????????????????????

perhaps this is the first time a human has taken a drink of water in recorded history?

Me, too. Hard for me to evaluate. Think he did an extraordinary job at a tough time in history.

Newt said he did a great job...as an Historian, I value his opinion.

Trick question. He has them in a jar on his mantle.

Unless you’re mistaken vs. that which the normal world would call a ‘chin’ /s

Thank God the AP had this important scoop on Trump to compete with CNN’s hard hitting dog ear story from today. Liberals/socialists are so insightful!

I think he did a great deal of good for our relations with other nations. As I’ve said before, people can respect him both for his accomplishments, and for his nature.

He has a ‘gravitas’ that may not be fully understood by many of the brainwashed and ignorant in his own country; but it is grasped elsewhere.

Have you ever seen a Communist drink a glass of water? On no account will a commie ever drink a glass of water, with the exception of lisping hispanic latino foam boys.

Vodka. The communists. Vodka is what they drink, isn’t it? And, for good reason.

President Trump is a red-blooded, Anglo-Saxon, all-American water drinker: the elixir of Abel, as Honest Abe put it.
Ay Pee writers drink Heineken, an alcoholic beverage and the ruination of many American families. Heineken is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face. Heineken is Dutch. The Dutch killed our elm trees. Elm trees used to line our small town main streets. But no longer. There it is and so it began.

How long ago could you get non-biased news out of them? I remember them being on the left for quite a while.
