Vice President Mike Pence seeeth. Vice President Mike Pence doeth.
In a moment that quickly went viral and became the source of laughter (as well as concern), Pence was captured in an extreme sycophantic moment as he robotically removed a water bottle from a conference table after President Donald Trump—for no good reason that anyone on Earth has yet thought of—did so first.
Watch:
In response, Twitter howled:
I am laughing so goddamn hard at this video of Trump inexplicably putting his water bottle on the floor, and Pence immediately doing the same for no reason whatsoever. pic.twitter.com/qEFPzKClYj

It's probably one of his 'signals' with Pence 'If I put my water bottle on the floor that means I hate what they're saying - if you agree, put your water bottle on the floor' - you know, like kids in a tree house

As others observed, Trump has a thing about moving items around while seated at a conference table:
Trump & Pence playing hide the water bottle reminded me of another Trump bizzaro move around a table - rearranging things on the conference table constantly ... pushing objects into people’s personal space, sliding coasters around ...

Might be hard for Pence to keep up with all that.
Meanwhile, in more significant news and during the same FEMA meeting, Pence also did this:
