At first, he couldnt find any in his presidential lectern. They dont have water? Thats 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.
Trumps water break drew instant comparisons to Florida Sen. Marco Rubios 2013 speech after then-President Barack Obamas 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.
