President Donald Trump had to pause during his speech on the Asia visit to ask for water - doing exactly what he mocked rival Marco Rubio for, during the election campaign.
Mr Trump, who landed back in Washington DC on Tuesday night, addressed the nation from the White House on Wednesday afternoon, speaking at length to recap the achievements of the 12-day trip.

But midway through his speech, he asked for water. He looked under the podium, then said: "It's OK."

Someone then prompted him, handing him a bottle. He paused, and took a deep swig.
Social media was quick to pick up the parallels with Mr Rubio.
Mr Trump, in February 2016, mocked Mr Rubio's habit of drinking from water bottles during the debates.
Mr Trump mimicked him, floundering on stage and theatrically drinking.

"He's a nervous Nellie," said Mr Trump at the time. "I watched him backstage, he's a mess, the guy's a total mess. I joked recently, could you imagine Putin sitting there waiting for a meeting, and Rubio walks in and he's totally drenched?
"I don't know what it is but I have never seen a human being sweat like this man sweats."
Mr Trump has previously taunted Mr Rubio for infamously marring his 2013 response the State of the Union address by drinking bottled water throughout his speech.

 

During a 2016 rally in Texas, Donald Trump mocks Marco Rubio's water bottle gaffe in 2013 when he delivered the rebuttal to President Obama's State of the Union.

Mr Trump even went as far as to send Mr Rubio a joke gift in October 2015, of Trump-branded bottled water.

"This is Trump's Rubio moment," one said.
Another commented: "Trump just out Rubio'd Rubio with an awkward water moment."
Mr Rubio responded almost immediately on Wednesday, after the president finished speaking.

Many ESC fans from all over the world are so very sad because we lost Joy Fleming - one of the best singers ever.
