By MATT SHUHAM Published NOVEMBER 15, 2017 3:54 PM

President Donald Trump on Wednesday took a brief break during a speech at the White House to re-hydrate.

It recalled Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) response to former President Barack Obama’s 2013 state of the union address, which he, too, paused for a drink.

Has no one ever given a speech or talk? There is a reason water is put at a speaker's podium. Did no one ever notice Clinton taking water many times in one talk? What is wrong with that?

Can't wait until he decides he needs a bathroom break and drops his trousers in the middle of a speech.
