Marco Rubio is on resignation watch from both sides of the Atlantic in the expectation he will quit to launch a bid to be the next US president, The Independent can reveal.
Insiders say the US secretary of state and White House national security adviser is preparing for the race to be the Republican nominee in November 2028, with JD Vance currently his main rival.
Even before the disastrous midterm results – resulting in the Republicans losing control of both the House and the Senate – senior party sources in the US and senior figures in the UK government told The Independent that Mr Rubio could quit his senior role in Donald Trump’s administration.
The sources doubled down on that expectation, after the midterms gave a damning indictment of the Trump presidency, with the Democrats seizing Republican strongholds such as Kansas and Texas.
Trump apparently gives people shoes in the size he THINKS they are, and throws a tantrum if they’re not wearing them. Gifts in this style are a common narcissist power play.
What gift does he give for guys with nice butts which seems to be his latest distraction?
Endorsement, making it all but certain they will lose their race
Seems like it wouldn’t be hard to exchange them or just buy a pair in the same brand that fits, but I’m glad it doesn’t occur to them.
This is true, but it’s also part of the power play - “what if I exchange them and he notices they’re not the size he bought, will that be enough for him to replace me”.
Ohh yah I remember when this came out, didn’t the whole cabinet get new shoes and no one was asked what their shoe size was? Agreed lol, classic narcissistic behavior
If you view trump as a walking loyalty test, everything starts to make sense.
Well, to be fair, he is also very stupid.
Yah but hummm…so you think was really a test? Walk in oversized shoes to test your loyalty to the administration like some bizarre initiation ritual? I just think these people are fucking idiots lol.
