President Donald Trump took a water break during a White House speech Wednesday, sparking Twitter recollections of Sen. Marco Rubio's 2013 rehydration moment — and Trump's biting mockery.
Twitter posters seemed to delight in juxtaposing the images of Rubio's break during his response to then-President Barack Obama's state of the union address, followed by Trump's mocking imitation on the campaign trail.
Trump also tweeted out his advice to the Florida Republican at the time.
The video of Trump's water moment immediately generated a raft of snarky asides.
And, of course, Rubio weighed in as well.
