US President Donald Trump drinks from a Fiji water bottle

A Fiji water bottle is now at the centre of a popular news story about US President Donald Trump.

Trump paused twice during a speech promoting his administration's foreign policy achievements and trade matters to drink from a bottle of Fiji water during an address from the White House today.

The moments immediately led many on social media to recall a similar moment featuring Republican Senator Marco Rubio.

The side by side Trump vs Rubio dry mouth water pause.

Driest mouth / most desperate look "winner" ... heads to jail.

Trump is finally "winning" ????

In 2013, Rubio awkwardly stopped during his Republican response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address to drink from a bottle of water.
