“Marco Rubio, and national security adviser, Michael Waltz, are under intense internal scrutiny inside a White House where deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and Sergio Gor, who oversees personnel decisions, have shown little tolerance…”

It’s a 2028 play, right? Signal his allegiance to Trump to beat back that criticism.
I think he should have tried to get a job where his views are more aligned with Trump’s.
Rubio (mistakenly) thinks this is a steppingstone toward him being the 2028 GOP nominee.
Ready, set, GO! President Trump's term is off to a GREAT start. What should House Republicans do to help him? RESPOND >>

Alternative: Rubio will do just fine and be the VP nominee in 2028. Vance-Rubio > Whitmer-Polis
You writing a book calling for #OneBillionAmericans was also an interesting life choice.
Especially after considering that nobody (other than maybe ) wants the population of America to nearly triple in size - ever.
Marco Rubio is doing a hellava job. He is the exact opposite of what Tony Blinken brought to the Global stage. We are lucky to have such a strong leader representing the United States in our State Department.
I think it's a 2028 play but also a sincere desire to serve as a counterbalance to the isolationist types. I feel a little bad for him tbh
I keep thinking of a quote from "A Man For All Seasons":
"It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world. But for Wales???"
A lot of people have sold their souls for very little.
I think the calculation is that JD Vance does not have the political skill to succeed Trump, so there is an opening for Rubio
Many have noted Rubio’s body language in Riyadh, his defeated expression, Waltz’s overweening presence
Not a surprising choice considering he openly loathed being a Senator for a while.
Especially when each of these cabinet officials have a White House stooge and minder as part of their front office. Reminds me of the Communist Party Member on the sub in The Hunt for Red October.
I told y'all about Marco in 2021.
Wait… since when did the Gulf of Mexico become the Gulf of America?!

Yes, shook the hand, got the position. Didn’t think about the first term with trump and everyone that was fired. History does repeat itself 
Remember from his presidential campaign financial disclosures he was still very poor.
I said exactly this when he was nominated for Sec of State. It made no sense. The only reasonable conclusion I reached was that he was probably just tired of being a senator.
Atlas: “I was sitting across from Anthony Fauci in August of 2020, and he looked at me and said, ‘One of the biggest problems is the American public is not afraid enough.’ This was the task force… it’s a completely unethical way to do public health.”
Especially because he is so young. He could easily hold that seat for the next 12+ years no problem
He should have watched more Apprentice to understand the reality.
From day 1 I said he chose Rubio because he wanted him out of the senate. He’ll be one of the first fired lol
I was never sure he liked being a senator. The party had to pressure him to run last time, as I recall.

Reminiscent of Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III. Anyone heard from him lately?
It's not as if anyone could accuse Rubio of being uninformed or naive about his new Boss, either.
He's just... broken.
He didn't want to live in the Senate
The GOP barely convinced him to run for re-election in 2016
Perhaps Trump may have specifically wanted him in that role to either use or diminish him and that he was threatened to push him into it?
Won’t be the first time he has done this for Trump.
And outside of the Ukraine/Russia mess, he has probably gotten Trump closer to his views than not. But here he is just a puppet.
If we could deprogram Cult 47, we will be able to bring them back to reality. We must find the key!
With his zombie stares, jet-lagged self-presentation, Rubio has gone from Stockholm Syndrome victim to a cipher untethered from all prior core values, a cloned bot-like emissary from Mar a Lago Ville, devoid of genuine commitment. Wait til Putin makes him water (bottle) boy.
An unexpected battle has risen from big tech's AI data center land rush.
He could choose to publicly oppose Trump (before getting fired), but I doubt he has the courage. He knows what he signed up for or at least has no excuse for not knowing
You could see it on Rubio's face, during the photo op in Saudi with the Russians.
Examine his voting record. He has no defining policy, no impassioned position that produced a public profile. He's a fairly charismatic young man who ascended in the one state where he checks multiple boxes. Yet he's often been tongue-tied and antsy; how he's merely catatonic.
The many-splendored glories of Kompromat. Just look at his deer-in-the-headlights visage.
Probably believed he could be the grownup in the room. Mistake was not realizing it’s a room of hyenas and there is no way to be a grownup human in a room of hyenas.
I know lawyers in Florida who have known him for a long time. They always told me that he is not a smart man.
It's schadenfreudelicious that Lil Marco's uncontrollable ambition is going to be what fucks him over.
#FelonDiaperDonOLD WILL throw him under the bus as is his wont, and Rubio will be fucked and without any supporters. He won't get the (R) FL Gov nod, either, as Byron Donald .
Atlas: “Allowing boys in girls locker rooms is one of the most repulsive examples of failed leadership. The lack of not just common sense but courage to say what everyone knows—it's an invasion of privacy. I can't imagine any father wants their daughter in a dressing room w/ men”
oh, but he can retire with an even bigger pension, and he can write some books and probably go around and speak for 6 figures per. . Other than that he’s probably living in a state of terror.
Does Rubio really think he will ever be able to shake the “Little Marco” label and inherit the MAGA-kingdom?!
The aim is to boost financial inclusion and drive economic growth, says Aida Diarra, vice president and head of region for Visa.
There’s a new version of this post
There are no safe Republican seats in the era of Trump
Maybe one day he'll realize that was the plan all along - neutralize a rival clown.
Rubio has always struck me as one of the dumbest people in the Senate (ideology completely aside) so appointing him Sec of State was… a pretty out-there call even for Trump.
It's an act of fealty. Kissing the ring. He'll be thrown on the trash heap of raging sycophants like so many others before him.
A seat at the dictator’s table is better than being on the outside. Not hard to figure out.
If by interesting you mean dumb, I agree. How did being a member of Trump's first administration work out for people like Mike Pence? Trump is the Dan Snyder of Presidents. The reverse carwash. People that work for him come out dirtier than when they entered. Rubio is doomed.
Very true. I suspect he still wants to be president and figures a high profile gig with the traitors and psychopaths is the way to go.
Being in the repub senate now is not super cushy either. You have to bite your tongue and vote for the most corrupt and incompetent cabinet. And abdicate part of your power regarding gov spending
Rubio is so far doing an EXCELLENT job. This is a very good opportunity for him to shine.
it was truly dumb as shit from his part. he was going to chair important committees. I hope he gets fired "like a dog" soon so I can have a good laugh at his expense
You could just post "i hate trump and i want him to fail" every day instead of whatever all this oblique whineposting is and itd be easier to enjoy for everyone.
You're such a doofus, Matthew. Secretary of State is a classic position used to position for a POTUS run. It's what Hillary Clinton did.
And would you like to put some money behind Rubio being swiftly fired? How much?
Then he must be an idiot. Anyone with half a brain could see that would be at risk of being fired. Then Trump could arrange for a loyalist to take his Senate seat.
Another interesting life choice was every Democrat choosing to vote to confirm him 
Dive into the critical issues shaping economic policy, from President-elect Trump’s sweeping tariff proposals to the challenges Texas faces under rising government spending.
Now is the time for bold reforms to protect taxpayers and ensure economic freedom thrives.
He’s not independently wealthy and he’s not corrupt… so a former SoS makes a lot more from private equity than former Senator.
