President Donald Trump’s fumbling search for a water bottle stole the show from an extended defense of his trip to Asia that he delivered from the White House the day after he returned.

Trump paused halfway through his remarks on Wednesday in the White House Diplomatic Room to look down and reach to one side of his lectern, look up, then search around on the other side before taking a slug from a bottle of Fiji water. Later in the 24-minute speech, he paused again to take another drink.
