Donald Trump’s brief sip from a mystery drink during a high-stakes dinner with Xi Jinping has triggered a massive online frenzy. The U.S. President, long known for avoiding alcohol after his brother’s addiction battle, was seen raising a flute glass during a toast in Beijing before appearing to grimace slightly. Social media users quickly flooded X with theories over whether Trump broke his no-alcohol rule during the crucial China visit. Former Trump advisor Bruce LeVell later claimed the drink was non-alcoholic, but the viral moment continues to fuel speculation amid tense U.S.-China diplomacy.
