Happy Days alum and Barry Emmy winner Henry Winkler was among those who took some glee in mocking President Donald Trumps apparent trouble drinking a glass of water while speaking at West Point last weekend a kerfuffle that the embattled politician addressed by showcasing that he can, in fact, handle a pour of H20 with one hand during his widely publicized but sparsely attended campaign rally in Tulsa on Saturday.
Winkler, who at 74 is the same age as Trump, came fashionably late to the pile-on when he posted a 13-second clip of himself (looking rather quarantined with long white hair and a beard) sipping a glass of water with a single hand to Twitter on Sunday. It was captioned simply, One hand.
Still, the video has been watched over 3.7 million times as of publish, and among those who appreciated it was Oscar-winning actor-turned-director (and sometimes narrator) Ron Howard.

Pretty brilliant, my friend, Howard wrote Monday. Reminds me of when you totally improvised the Iconic Fonz move of deciding your hair was perfect and then just shruggling [sic] to yourself in the mirror! Ill never forget that. Awesome & elegant....Saying so much, with so little!

How about the one-hand water drinking challenge. Whether it raises money for charity or not, can you just picture hundreds of thousands of 10-second videos of people drinking a glass of water. Instagram. Facebook. Tiktok. Twitter.
