During the 2016 Republican primary Marco Rubio called Donald Trump a conman and a fraud, and the infamous counter puncher retaliated by christening Rubio with the moniker “Lil Marco.”
A decade later Rubio, who now serves as Trump’s Secretary of State, lavishes praise on his boss, and vigorously defends his commander-in-chief’s unconstitutional and unamerican policies.
Trump has a talent for pinning derogatory nicknames on his opponents, and to this day Rubio is still called “Lil Marco” by his critics.
When Rubio arrived at the G7 Summit in Quebec, and he descended from his plane he set foot on a red mat. Usually host countries roll out the red carpet for foreign dignitaries, but the Canadians just plunked down an oversized red door mat.
I don’t blame the Canadians for humiliating Little Marco, after all Trump calls Justin Trudeau “the governor of Canada”, frequently rhapsodizes about annexing Canada, and has declared economic war on our loyal ally.
Rubio has his work cut out for him trying to mend relations with the Canadians and the other G7 Foreign Ministers at Quebec.
It’s a thankless job to be the Secretary of State for a buffoon who thinks he can annex Canada by redrawing the borders with a Sharpie, and who treats our allies like enemies.
The longer Rubio remains in office, before he eventually resigns in disgrace, the more he shrinks in stature. Next year, he will be welcomed in countries with a red mat that won’t be much longer than his tiny little feet.
