Donald Trump and a water bottle have gone viral once again, but this time Mike Pence is involved too.
In the footage, the president is seen placing his water bottle on the floor at a policy briefing – an as-yet unexplained action that his vice-president quickly mimics.
I am laughing so goddamn hard at this video of Trump inexplicably putting his water bottle on the floor, and Pence immediately doing the same for no reason whatsoever. pic.twitter.com/qEFPzKClYj

This is the second time a video involving Mr Trump and a water bottle has gone viral.
In 2017 people online picked up on the way which he drank from a bottle, noting that he had mocked Republican leadership rival Marco Rubio for his water breaks in the past.
Others have also noted Mr Pence copying Mr Trump’s movements previously, including the way he waved to crowds in 2016.
