The secretary of state sends a signal to several other government leaders around the world: they should listen to President Trump’s comments carefully.
In Sunday’s press conference on Venezuela at Mar-a-Lago, The secretary of state and national security adviser, Marco Rubio, gave an explanation of how President Trump operates.
Too few pundits commented on what Mr. Rubio said — and yet it was one of the most insightful explanations of Mr. Trump I have ever heard or read.
Mr. Rubio said:
“And the message here should be to the world. The president doesn’t go out looking for people to pick fights with, he’s not, generally he wants to get along with everybody. We’ll talk and meet with anybody, but don’t play games. Don’t play games while this president’s in office because it’s not gonna turn out well. I guess that lesson was learned last night and we hope it’ll be instructive moving forward.”
