The Marco Rubio Guide to Survival Is Not Working Well
“The simple story is that Rubio is not in charge,” said Sen. Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat. Rubio’s reaction to Trump’s wild — yes, wild even for Trump — proposal that the U.S. take control of the Gaza Strip and push out its 2.2 million Palestinians? Of course, it’s Trump’s job to set U.S. foreign policy, not Rubio’s — and Rubio has said from the start he’s going to implement his boss’ vision. Yet, Rubio looks as if he’s merely a bystander as Musk and his acolytes, along with like-minded Trump appointees such as foreign assistance chief Pete Marocco, engineer key decisions. But Rubio hasn’t overseen a thoughtful, targeted reform process that one might expect from a former lawmaker who spent significant time learning about how U.S. foreign policy is made.
