Top 6 funniest Donald Trump moments

1. I need water

During the 2016 campaign, Donald Trump often mocked his GOP rival, Marco Rubio, for his need to drink water in the middle of speeches. In 2013, Rubio took an awkward pause during his response to then-President Barack Obama's State of the Union address to drink water.

While addressing a campaign crowd in Fort Worth, Texas, in February 2016, Donald Trump trolled Rubio, saying,

"He’s like this: ‘I need water. Help me, I need water,"

Trump called him a "total choke artist" before holding the bottle and splashing water, and tossing it behind him.

Nearly a decade later, this exchange remains relevant. From campaign jabs to viral statements, the Trump-Rubio duo has given plenty of memorable moments.

2. Dance Party With Beyonce

For many, this might be another TikTok trend, but do you know that this originated from Donald Trump's viral speech? During the October 2024 Trump rally in Traverse City, Michigan, Trump called out Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, saying

"Joe Biden is asleep. Kamala is at a dance party with Beyonce."

Trump mocked Harris' campaign rally at Houston, which was attended by celebrities like Beyonce, Jessica Alba, and Kelly Rowland (via Houston Chronicle).

3. Tough guy

During the fifth Republican presidential debate, Jeb Bush and Donald Trump clashed. Bush said that even though Trump is great at one-liners, he would be a chaotic president. As they continued to debate, Trump fired back and trolled him for not being tough and performing poorly in polls. Trump said (via Vanity Fair)

"Yeah, you’re a tough guy, Jeb. Real tough. I’m at 42, Jeb, and you’re at 3.”

4. I don't want mosquitoes around me

During the Ohio rally in 2016, Trump briefly stopped mid-speech when a mosquito interrupted his flow. He said,

"There was a mosquito. I don't want mosquitoes around me! I don't like mosquitoes! I don't like those mosquitoes. I never did!"

While many listeners were left confused initially, Trump's next statement clarified he was taking a jab at his then Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton. He joked,

"OK, speaking of mosquitoes — hello, Hillary. How are you doing?"

5. Ice bucket challenge

Remember the time when the ice bucket challenge was all over social media? The challenge was simple: one had to film themselves dumping ice water over their head and post it online while nominating others to do the same or donate to charity.

From Chris Pratt to Oprah to LeBron James, several celebrities participated in the Ice bucket challenge. In August 2014, Trump also participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge when WWE chairman Vince McMahon, Homer Simpson, and Mike Tyson nominated him. He got help from Miss Universe and Miss USA to complete the challenge and nominated his sons Eric, Donald Trump Jr., and the then President Barack Obama.

6. She's shocked that I picked her

Attacking the media isn't a new thing for Donald Trump. However, during the Rose Garden Press conference, Trump had a heated exchange with an ABC News reporter, Cecilia Vega. After calling her for questions, he made a gendered comment about Vega's intelligence, saying

"She’s shocked that I picked her. Like in a state of shock.”

Vega denied being shocked, to which Trump made a sexist remark directed at the female reporter, saying

"That’s OK. I know you’re not thinking. You never do,”

When she tried to ask him a Kavanaugh question, Trump cut her off mid-sentence and asked her to question him about the trade deal. Trump later allowed her to ask the Kavanaugh question.
