Water bottle moment for Trump, Senator Rubio mocks

He took another swig a few minutes later. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump frequently mocked then-rival Florida Senator Marco Rubio's frequent water breaks.

Washington, November 16: President Donald Trump had his own water bottle moment. Trump paused an address to the nation on Wednesday to reach for water during a blow-by-blow account of his five-nation trip to Asia. Trump first reached into the lectern and required help from others in the room to spot a bottle on a nearby table.

He took another swig a few minutes later. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump frequently mocked then-rival Florida Senator Marco Rubio's frequent water breaks.

During a 2015 appearance in South Carolina, Trump said: "Rubio, I've never seen a young guy sweat that much." He added: "He's drinking water, water, water. I never saw anything like this with him with the water."

Rubio joked that the president needed to work on his form. Rubio tweeted, "Has to be done in one single motion & eyes should never leave the camera. But not bad for his 1st time."
