Haiti’s transitional president Edgard Leblanc Fils has become a meme online over an unexpected mishap during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly.

He ended up spilling the water everywhere, including on himself.

The moment, captured on video, quickly went viral, triggering a wave of cruel memes online.

“Thirsty Haitian drinks straight out of a water pitcher during his UN General Assembly speech,” one social media user remarked.

“Don’t they have cups in Haiti?” another said.

“Never in my life have I seen someone try to drink directly from a tall water pitcher… until now,” a third commented.

“Can you please give this man a towel? He just washed his face,” added another.
