How Trump’s enemy, Marco Rubio, rose from the ashes to become his right-handed “problem solver”

Republicans who “know” at the party’s 2024 convention in Milwaukee received news that President Donald Trump has made a choice for his next campaign partner.
The draft pick is the president’s choice, sources said.
When Trump announced JD Vance as his choice, many were surprised: Why did the president choose a political rookie who only served in the Senate for one and a half years?
People familiar with the president’s decision told the Daily Mail that Rubio was very close to finding the job.
It turns out that his consolation prize was the Secretary of State, and seemed to fit his foreign policy portfolio more well, as he served on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for 14 years – starting from his first visit to Washington, D.C.
Under Trump, Rubio’s skills were tested when the president tried to resolve multiple global crises, ended the war and built the legacy of the president of the peaceful party.
Rubio flew to Türkiye on Thursday to try to set up a table for peace talks between the Ukrainians and the Russians, admitting he wasn’t very optimistic about their success.
“I want to be frank, we don’t have high expectations for what will happen tomorrow,” he told the media.

He said the future of negotiations ultimately depends on Russian President Vladimir Putin and Presidents Donald Trump.
“From this point, until they had a very candid and direct conversation, I don’t think anything productive actually happened,” he said.
Rubio’s candid assessment was appreciated by the press, as the language of diplomacy often dabbled in unfeasible optimistic assessments.
At the same time, he underestimated the idea that he was responsible in some way or could be single to bring the outcome of the peace agreement.
“Frankly, at this point, I think it’s obvious that the only way we can make a breakthrough here is between President Trump and President Putin,” he said.
Rubio is playing his role, and Trump is increasingly learning to trust his former rivals as president.
“Marco, when I had a problem, I called Marco and he got it fixed. He got it fixed,” Trump told his supporters during the National Prayer Breakfast on May 1.
The White House told the Daily Mail that Rubio is doing “incredible work” for Trump.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Daily Mail that he called it a national security adviser, “Secret Rubio is doing an incredible job, with his unique ability to serve as a national security adviser at the same time.
Leavitt praised Rubio for reforming foreign aid, ensuring the release of Americans around the world, and promoting peaceful negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
She concluded: “The president has full trust in Secretary Rubio’s implementation of his foreign policy agenda and his shared post will allow more cooperation between the NSC and the State Department.”
Some well-known magazine figures are keeping comments about Rubio, looking at him for any signs of betrayal of the president, as they think he is still on the political journey.
Rubio’s former anti-Trump allies and their current critics are also focusing on any signs of the president’s separation.
His reaction to JD Vance and Trump’s infamous explosion in the Oval Office with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky became frequent as critics viewed his beliefs as a regret for neoconservatives.

The image of Saudi Arabia’s seemingly exhausted Rubio became popular as Trump delivered a lengthy speech. Critics ridiculed the image, which is a sign of Rubio’s “regret” or exhaustion.
But Rubio showed no regrets, but was just a sign of loyalty and ability, which was partly due to his long-standing political ambitions, which fueled his steady rise in government.
His supporters consider the memes to be misleading.
For decades, the U.S. foreign policy has actually put Americans first. That’s why the American people are elected President Trump, and that’s exactly what Secretary Rubio does every day,’ a senior State Department official told the Daily Mail.
After becoming a possible political successor and leader of the Maga Novers, the president caught the attention of the Maga movement a few days later.
He said, “Look at Marco, look at Jade Vance, who is great.”
It was a huge shift when Rubio found himself on the other side of Trump in the 2016 Republican presidential primary.
Trump famously mocked him for “Liddle Marco” as Rubio fought in vain with populist billionaires, who captured the Republican heart and media attention.
Fast forward nine years, Rubio successfully deviated from the old ways and learned about Trump’s populist American First agenda.
After losing to Trump in the election, Rubio also learned how to speak the language of populist Republicans, acknowledging Trump’s takeover of the entire party.
Vance and Rubio are now considered rivals to the 2028 Republican primary, but don’t expect them to give that trust.
Vance only has good things to say about Rubio, one of his favorites in the cabinet.
“Marco is actually probably my best friend in government and we’ve been hanging out,” Vance told Fox News.
The two plan to go to the first Mass of Rome’s newly elected Pope Leo on Sunday.
Rubio also sat on Trump’s rights in the latest cabinet meeting, praising the president for forming a great team.

“In most cases, I interact with everyone on this table to some extent, and it’s incredible service and you hear everyone,” he said.
It was a stunning reversal by Trump’s first secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, who found himself shocked by the president’s unusual diplomatic style until he unceremoniously fired him from social media, and he returned to his trip to Africa from social media.
When Rubio was first nominated as Secretary of State, Trump’s foundation expressed their concern that the Republican more traditional foreign policy agencies would be responsible for the president’s diplomatic efforts in the world.
Rubio is the grandson of Cuban exiles and a student of foreign policy for former President Ronald Reagan. As a senator, he began actively supporting foreign interventions in order to stabilize the world.
But his tone has changed a lot since he joined the Trump administration, embracing the president’s U.S. first agenda.
“Our foreign policy is guided by three things: does it make the United States safer, or does it make the United States richer? If something doesn’t do one of these three things, and hopefully none of them will be done, then we won’t do that. ” he said at the cabinet meeting.
Sources close to Trump now quote his performance in the first 100 days, a shining example of ability and loyalty.

This is not always the case for the Secretary of State.
Biden’s Secretary of State Tony Blinken was seen by Republicans as a cautious manager of decline for the disastrous withdrawal of Afghanistan from the country, letters in the hands of the Taliban, Russia invaded Ukraine and served as any idea of Hamas’ peace in the Middle East in the October 7 terrorist attack in Israel.
Former Secretary of State John Kerry tried to outweigh his influence over the Senate legacy when he served former President Barack Obama. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton serves as shadow president, responsible for foreign policy and is committed to manipulating Obama into foreign countries such as Libya, and he is unwilling to participate.
The Margos are equally skeptical of Rubio’s actions, cleverly encouraging Trump to act actively in foreign conflicts.
Instead, Rubio proposed an extension to the president’s team.
When Trump pursued an unconventional diplomatic style with envoy Steve Witkoff, Rubio praised his efforts almost every day to make sure there was no sunlight between them.

“He did a great job of trying to solve this peaceful solution for this problem,” Rubio told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday. “I have confidence in him.”
In return, Vikov described Rubio as “the outstanding secretary of state” and predicted that he would become one of the greatest men.
The President only added Rubio’s responsibility to appoint him as acting national security consultant, acting U.S. Agency for International Development and U.S. archivist:
Despite rumors that Trump’s close friend and deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller could take over as a national security adviser, Miller stressed that Rubio was the person in the job.
“I already know Marco very well and I think he is a close friend. He did a great job. He will be Kissinger of our time,” Miller said, praising his performance in Fox News’ cabinet.
“Let me tell you that President Trump has made the right choice through this appointment.”
