President Joe Biden appeared to mock Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Virginia.<\/p>\n
In a video shared to Twitter by @Acyn, President Biden was filmed mid-speech making a point of stopping to drink from a glass of water.<\/p>\n
\"Excuse me,\" he said before putting the glass to his mouth using one hand in what seemed to be a comedic reference to Trump's previously noted habit of drinking water with both hands.<\/p>\n
His actions drew loud cheers from the crowd at the rally being held in Arlington, Virginia as part of Democrat Terry McAuliffe's gubernatorial campaign.<\/p>\n
The significance of Biden's sip was not lost on social media where the clip has been watched more than 576,000 times, earning over 1,300 retweets in the process.<\/p>\n
In a separate tweet, Democrat political strategist and consultant Adam Parkhomenko shared the video commenting \"Biden just trolled the s*** out of Trump with a cup of water.\"<\/p>\n
Dr Dena Grayson, a scientist and former Democrat congressional candidate, retweeted the video stating that she loved having a president \"who can drink a glass of water with a single hand!\"<\/p>\n
Writer Holly Figueroa O'Reilly also shared the tweet writing, \"That sound you hear is a stubby-fingered, orange faced man-child crying about how his water bottle was rigged so he had to use two hands.\"<\/p>\n
Author Majid M Padellan, meanwhile, posted the video alongside the words: \"ONE. HAND.\"<\/p>\n
At least two videos have since surfaced comparing Biden's ability to drink water with one hand to Trump's two-handed approach.<\/p>\n
The former president's drinking style became the source of much debate last year when he was filming during a graduation speech at the US Military Academy at West Point, New York, struggling to raise a glass of water to his mouth.<\/p>\n
In a video posted to Twitter, Trump appeared to be having some issue lifting the glass to his lips using his right hand and eventually had to use his left to help.<\/p>\n
Following the speech the hashtag \"#Trumpisnotwell\" began trending on Twitter.<\/p>\n
A week later, Trump addressed the incident during a campaign rally in Tulsa where he claimed he used two hands because he did not want to spill water on his silk tie.<\/p>\n
\"I look down at my tie because I've done it, I've taken water and spilled down onto your tie, it doesn't look good for a long time, and frankly the tie is never the same,\" he told the crowd.<\/p>\n
To emphasize the point and dispel any notions of ill health, he then proceeded to pick up a glass of water with one hand and drink from it.<\/p>\n
Since then, several conflicting videos have been shared online, some showing Trump appearing to drink one-handed with ease and others showing him using two.<\/p>\n
Newsweek has reached out to the White House and Trump Organization for comment.<\/p>\n
