A resurfaced Access Hollywood clip of Rocky actor Sylvester Stallone taste-testing "Trump Water" has gone viral after former Republican President Donald Trump visited the site of the East Palestine train derailment.
The chemical spill and subsequent controlled burn from the disaster prompted residents within a 1-mile radius of the accident to be evacuated and kicked off emergency responses from teams in Ohio and West Virginia as well as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Trump did in fact bring water which was labeled “Trump Spring Water,” to East Palestine, which he promised he'd do earlier this month.
He also arrived with some other bottled water he said was of “a much lesser quality.”
\u201cTrump in E. Palestine: \u201cWe\u2019re bringing thousands of bottles of water - Trump Water, actually. Most of it. Some of it we had to go to a much lesser quality of water. You want to get those Trump bottles.\u201d\u201d— Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1677095373
Shortly after Trump's visit, the video of Stallone taste-testing Trump Water resurfaced thanks to animator Jon Bershad, who referred to it as the "second most embarrassing Access Hollywood clip involving Donald Trump," referring to the now-infamous tape in which Trump admitted to sexual assault.
The video showed Stallone speaking with Access Hollywood host Billy Bush and boasting about his own Sly Water brand before Bush offered him an opportunity to try some "different water."
After drinking it and appearing noticeably disgusted after Bush told him he'd just tasted Trump Ice, a water brand that has been defunct since 2010, Stallone said:
“Whatever it is, I wouldn’t wash my socks in this... [laughing] ... I love Donald, I'm sorry."
You can see it below.
\u201cPlease enjoy this 2007 video of Sylvester Stallone taste testing Trump Water and truly hating it.\n\nEasily the second most embarrassing Access Hollywood clip involving Donald Trump.\u201d— Jon Bershad (@Jon Bershad) 1677100517
The clip went viral once again and the jokes pretty much wrote themselves.
\u201c@JonBershad Trump Water, new slogan: "I wouldn't wash my socks in it."\u201d— Jon Bershad (@Jon Bershad) 1677100517
\u201c@JonBershad I remember the first season of The Apprentice, where they were trying to sell Trump Ice to bar managers and they're giving this impassioned pitch until the managers was like, "Guys? GUYS!...it's water."\u201d— Jon Bershad (@Jon Bershad) 1677100517
\u201c@JonBershad The fact he insists on putting his name on every one of his products is crazy. The ego of the guy \ud83e\udd23\u201d— Jon Bershad (@Jon Bershad) 1677100517
\u201c@JonBershad @alaskarebel Everything Trump touches turns to crap...Everything!\u201d— Jon Bershad (@Jon Bershad) 1677100517
\u201c@JonBershad Damn! If you won't wash your socks with it, you know it's bad! \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\u201d— Jon Bershad (@Jon Bershad) 1677100517
\u201c@JonBershad @brefaz I don't like stallone, but I loved hearing him say that he "wouldn't wash his socks" in trump water because it tasted so awful!\u201d— Jon Bershad (@Jon Bershad) 1677100517
\u201c@JonBershad I suspect Trump water was/is bottled from the outflow of the finest water treatment plants & Superfund cleanup sites anywhere, & served as the inspiration for the Chernobyl "Atomik vodka".\u201d— Jon Bershad (@Jon Bershad) 1677100517
\u201c@JonBershad Some good citizen needs to send one of those bottles to a lab.\u201d— Jon Bershad (@Jon Bershad) 1677100517
Trump Ice was initially sold at Trump's casinos and a few other markets before being launched nationwide in 2004, according to one fact-check, and Trump once described it as the "purest, best-tasting water you can imagine."
After it was discontinued in 2010, Trump Ice was available as official merchandise for a few more years until it was rebranded as Trump Spring Water in 2015.
