I saw what you both did there…
And it now seems the Tweet in question is gone, gone, gone.
Fortunately, as fast as Doddering Donald may want to send his more embarrassing moments down the memory hole, the save function is faster.
I’m sure there are thousands who subscribe (or follow or whatever it’s called) just to catch and save his fuckups before he can delete 'em.
If you make it to 88 lies per hour, you can go back in time and change the past so you didn’t actually do the thing Congress is asking you about.
I just saw Stephen Colbert showing a clip of Trump mocking someone else for the way the other person was drinking from a water bottle.
Yep, the twerp’s dominant personality component is childishness.
That would be Marco Rubio’s infamous snatching for the water bottle during his rebuttal to the State of the Union address back in 2013. At one point he sort of lurched for his PET bottle of water and quickly slurped down some water, as if he’d suddenly gotten severe dry mouth. It was a weird moment, but unforgettable. Jon Stewart on The Daily Show wonderfully highlighted it as “Water for Elephants” (using the same logo that they did for the 2011 movie).
Commented The New Torker:
Evidently the message didn’t stick, at least with Trump, because there he was, opening the bottle and drinking from it in a thoroughly ludicrous fashion
I can understand needing a drink, especially up in front of the cameras, and in any sort of tense situation. I certainly cut Rubio some slack for it. But I'm less inclined to do the same for Trump, considering how he very publicly shamed Rubio for his handling of the Water Bottle during the campaign: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Trump+mocks+Rubio+YouTube+water+bottle&view=detail&mid=6B85D9FBD6C29798D63E6B85D9FBD6C29798D63E&FORM=VIRERubio got a bit of his own back:

As did Stephen Colbert:
HuffPost has an entire page on this debacle:
It includes this gem:
Okay, be honest here. When Trump ducked below the podium, you thought he was checking–and hoping–for a hooker, shades of Police Academy, didn’t you?
Roy Moore probably wants to date him.
Godammit, Rubio. That almost makes me want to like you.
If I saw a random 71yo drink from a water bottle that way, I would assume a stroke survivor.
I found that disconcerting. He looked unwell to me.
Or early-stage Parkinson’s?
I’ve seen speculation about his returning from his Asia trip earlier than scheduled because he was exhausted.
Maybe he tore a rotator cuff in that crossed-arm dance he did with the Devil.
Naw. I just don’t think his hands can handle a grown-up’s bottle.
OK, as much as I’m opposed to all things Trump, the water drinking thing looks like a stretch to me. I was expecting a spazz gushing water everywhere from all the hype, but saw nothing out of the ordinary. I get it’s karma for him mocking Rubio, but for all of Trump’s mishaps, this one ranks at the bottom.
Our Toddler-in-Chief.
He needs one of thesewith the Presidential seal on it.
