President Donald Trump is great at kicking back Diet Cokes, but not so good at drinking water.

During a speech about his administration's national security strategy on Monday, Donald Trump paused to wet his whistle with a little bit of water. While a president drinking a bit of wa-wa should not make headlines, Trump previously made fun of Senator Marco Rubio for doing the same thing.

So, now every time Trump pauses a speech to take a drink, the internet takes notice, and boy did Trump deliver this time. Clutching a glass with two hands, Trump delicately titled a glass of water towards his lips, much like a child would do.

The internet was quick to point out just how weird the little sip looked.

To be fair, Trump's second sip was done with just one hand.
