Donald Trump is expected to nominate Sen. Marco Rubio, who he once described as a “lightweight” and a “choker” to be secretary of state.
The impending announcement marks another major milestone in Rubio’s transition from somewhat feisty Trump political opponent to a complete submissive. During the 2016 presidential primaries, Rubio emerged for a moment as a possible alternative to Trump before the nomination had been decided. Trump then directed a barrage of insults at the Florida senator.
He made fun of Rubio’s height, giving him the nickname “Liddle Marco.” He accused Rubio of running “phony television ads” against him, said he was a “record no-show in the Senate” who was “scamming Florida.”
At one point, Trump even wrote, “Marco Rubio is a total lightweight who I wouldn’t hire to run one of my smaller companies—a highly overrated politician.”
