Trump Admin - Sec of State Rubio
- Thread starter GURPS
- Start date
Reflecting on the foreign policy achievements of the year since Trump won re-election to the presidency, Rubio said, "It’s an honor to be involved in and be a witness to what I believe is the most transformational year in American foreign policy since the end of the Second World War at least."
And he isn't using the word "transformational" in the way people like Barack Obama or Susan Rice would use the word, which is refreshing all by itself.
Rubio continued:
I know that Rubio was being rhetorical in a way, but nobody in their right mind can argue that Joe Biden's foreign policy had anything to do with putting the health and welfare of Americans as the top priority.
Rubio then described President Trump's approach to foreign policy decision-making in his second term:
And down the list he went. Regarding unchecked illegal immigration, Rubio said:

“Radical Islam has shown that their desire is not simply to occupy one part of the world and be happy with their own little caliphate, they want to expand. It’s revolutionary in its nature. It seeks to expand and control more territories and more people … That’s a clear and imminent threat to the world and to the broader West, but especially the United States who they identify as the chief source of evil on the planet.”
I'll be the first to admit that even I, who has never seen a Marco Rubio interview I didn't like, was a little frustrated with some of his answers, but I also recognize that this is kind of a sensitive situation, especially in the moment, and the secretary probably can't share too much just yet. I'm not usually a "trust your government kind of girl," but in this situation, and given who's in charge of it, I'm willing to wait and see.
Kristen Welker, George Stephanopoulos, and Margaret Brennan obviously are not. They all gave off the impression that now that Maduro is gone, Venezuela should become a thriving sunshine and roses democracy overnight, and if it doesn't, this is Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan all over again. There is no gray area with these people, buy I'm fairly certain that up until yesterday, they thought Venezuela was a fruity drink you order in a Mexican restaurant.
Welker started in on the tired "regime change" talking points, and Rubio could barely contain his laughter as she was asking the question. "U.S. regime change historically speaking has not gone very well for the United States.... Can you assure Americans that this time will be different?" she asked.

Hooray
He should have clapped back on her not being able to speak in coherent sentences.
Who knew Rubio was such a statesman?? I remember when he was running for president, acting like a freaking frat boy with a stick up his ass.
