Trump Mocked For Awkward, Two-Handed Water Drinking During National Security Speech

President Donald Trump spoke Monday about his administration's new National Security Strategy. During the speech, Trump once again awkwardly drank water with two hands, reigniting past conversations on social media about his peculiar habit.
Trump took the opportunity of applause from the crowd to mouth the words “Thank you” and then grasped his water glass with two hands, hunched over, to take a sip. The small water glass that didn't appear to weigh much seemed to cause the president some difficulty.
This sent Twitter into a screen-grabbing tizzy and the tweets started pouring in.

Of course, there were the jokes that Twitter users posted.
And they all pointed out that this isn’t the first time Trump has had trouble with his water.
Twitter users couldn’t help but compare Trump to animals and children.
This is how I tell my 4-year-old to drink water...with both hands so she doesn’t spill it. #Trump #water https://t.co/89ePvJ4vWx

They also speculated about his health.
My great grandmother who had dementia drank water like Trump did and barely ate before she passed away

Someone even pointed out that Trump previously mocked Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida for taking a break while giving a speech for a sip of water.
Trump sure is having a lot of awkward water-sipping moments for someone who mercilessly mocked Rubio for the exact same thing. pic.twitter.com/I7w4evNkXB
