This isn't the worst thing he did but it's the one that made me see him for what he is: drinking the water at a press conference in Flint.

"This is not a political stunt."

Does political stunt

"This is not a political stunt."

Does political stunt again

If I ever get the chance to ask him a question, I'd ask him why he did this.

Yes, there are worse things he's done, but this one is so clearly and obviously bad in a way you can't wriggle out of with phrases like "national security" or "complicated situation". I want him to know that this is what he's going to be remembered for.

Drink water? It seemed like he didn't, or maybe sipped a nanoliter.

The glass of water was from Air Force One I thought

lt was 100% from the outside at least. The only pipes that weren't shut off in that school were the ones to the toilets. He drank water his own people handed him and he was still unsure enough to take that tiny little dab of a sip.

And everyone there knew it, and he knew they knew it, and he did it anyway.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
