Show Caption Hide Caption Trump sipping water brings all the mems back from Rubio Social media goes crazy when President Trump awkwardly took a sip of water during a recent press conference. For many, it was a throwback to Marco Rubio's similar antics back in 2013.

Sometimes, you really just need a drink of water.

Sen. Marco Rubio knows this.

And President Trump now knows this too, as we all witnessed during his Wednesday remarks.

After first mistakenly thinking there was no water available, the president stopped twice during remarks to take a drink from a Fiji water bottle.

You may argue that this does not matter. But don't forget that Trump himself has taken Rubio to task time and again over drinking water during a speech.

Marco Rubio is being crucified by the media for drinking water during speech! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 13, 2013

Next time Marco Rubio should drink his water from a glass as opposed to a bottle—would have much less negative impact. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 13, 2013

That includes one time during the 2016 presidential election, when then-candidate Trump mocked Republican rival Rubio during a rally before dramatically tossing a water bottle aside.

On Wednesday, Rubio couldn't help but offer some advice to the president.

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 — Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) November 15, 2017

And Twitter couldn't help itself, either.
