Many MAGA voters have been confused about why President-Elect Donald Trump has chosen Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) to serve as the Secretary of State in his administration. Isn’t “Little Marco” a bit of a swamp creature?
That’s true, but Trump had some good reasons for bringing Rubio on as a member of his Cabinet.
First and foremost, Rubio is a China hawk. Setting everything else about Rubio aside, he’s solid on the issue of deterring China through the use of President Trump’s economic nationalist policies, tariffs, and trade.
That’s not a bad qualification and it will probably be one of the biggest foreign policy features of Trump’s second term.
Rubio has also been above board when it comes to Joe Biden’s Ukraine-Russia war. Don’t forget that it was Marco Rubio two years ago who exposed the fact that the CIA was operating bioweapons labs in Ukraine, right next door to Russia. Rubio got war pig Victoria Nuland to openly admit this in a public hearing.
Sen. Rubio also voted against the latest round of Ukraine funding because there was no money in the bill for the security of America’s border. Unlike most of his colleagues in the Senate, Rubio sees the light when it comes to the Ukraine-Russia war—namely, that Ukraine was never going to win this fight.
Watch this exchange during Rubio’s confirmation hearings this week:
?? “Ukraine’s problem is that they run out of Ukranians”
Future Secretary of State Rubio also said:
– There is no way Russia takes all of Ukraine
– It’s unrealistic that Ukraine will push Russia back to where it began at the start of the conflict pic.twitter.com/E9SAhoVzD2— Lord Bebo (@MyLordBebo) January 15, 2025
