When we saw President Trump reach for a drink of water on Wednesday, we knew there’d be news stories: the question was, would his awkward sip of water be worth a day of cable news coverage, or more?

The sip came too late for Wednesday’s edition of “Morning Joe,” so will we have to settle for a tweet, or will there be another run through the footage Thursday morning on MSNBC?

Trump makes Senator Rubio look like a world champion water drinker compared to his clumsy display. Has the man never opened a bottle of water before? https://t.co/iUVMPFUssH — Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) November 15, 2017

You get him Joe. IMPEACH!

Look at how petty the "resistance" has become. They ooze blind Trump hate from every pore. https://t.co/FzZJNHC49n — Whitey McWhiteface (@Common_sense103) November 15, 2017

And @BarackObama wore a brown suit one time. It's almost like presidents are human beings. https://t.co/SzsXEVRe4c — Garrett R. B. (@GarrettBeyleri1) November 15, 2017

Who can stand these people anymore? https://t.co/d9to3OszWU — Rep. Steven Smith (@RepStevenSmith) November 15, 2017

It really is amazing when there’s no substantial difference between tweets about Trump starting a nuclear war with North Korea and taking a sip of water during a news conference. Or feeding koi.
