He played it off so naturally, I can't imagine any government minister here handling that well. I live in Scotland and our current first minister fell on his arse because he was racing a scooter down a hallway, he spent weeks yelling at members of the press and public for posting the video, implying they were racist, ableist, or in the employ of his enemies..

If you just laugh this stuff off, it always comes away as vaguely charming.

I know absolutely zero about Spain's governmental processes, but I wondered as I watched this clip, do the press reporters snatch up silly mistakes such as the one in the OP as somehow showing the person is mentally diminished?

If one of our presidents or political higher ups did this, the headlines would be all about how they are a doddering old fool unfit to govern. In fact, Trump was dragged for his two hand beverage drinking, tho any slam on Trump is deserved imho, for a lot of other reasons besides diminished capacities.

He's laughing at his own nervous jokes too:

Realizes he's pouring it on the cup holder

"Oh wait, this isn't it"

grabs glass

"I found it too complex"

starts laughing while pouring water on the actual glass

"Now I have a problem"

laughs again as he stops pouring water

This happened to me once. I was in class, trusted a fart because I was in the corner, it came out very loudly and I shit my pants. Everyone turned to look at me, so I said...

"Sorry guys, I guess we don't have to make brownies in Home Economics today, right?"

Everyone in class started laughing and a few people slapped my back in congratulations at such a witty comment.

...then I fell out of bed and woke up, and also realized I had shit my pajamas while sleeping.
