Rubio trolls Trump over water grab during Asia speech

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) mocked President Trump for his awkward reach for a drink of water during a Wednesday television address, comparing it to his own famous hydration break during a 2013 TV appearance.

“Similar, but needs work on his form,” Rubio tweeted.

Similar,but needs work on his form.Has to be done in one single motion & eyes should never leave the camera. But not bad for his 1st time https://t.co/s49JtyRo3S

Trump pointedly paused during his speech recapping his 12-day trip to Asia to take a drink of water from a bottle, clips of which quickly went viral on social media.

Trump has mocked Rubio in the past for drinking water during his response to then-President Obama’s 2013 State of the Union address, which featured a jolting reach out of frame for the Florida senator.

Next time Marco Rubio should drink his water from a glass as opposed to a bottle—would have much less negative impact.

The similarities between the two water breaks did not go unnoticed on social media:
