President Donald Trump has given his stamp of approval to viral social media posts joking that Secretary of State Marco Rubio should become Cuba's president, responding with his characteristic humor while sending a clear message to the communist regime just 90 miles from Florida.
When presented with memes and posts suggesting the Cuban-American diplomat could lead his ancestral homeland, Trump didn't hesitate: "Sounds good to me." The comment has sent shockwaves through both conservative and liberal circles, with Patriots celebrating the bold statement while the Left scrambles to manufacture outrage.
The viral joke speaks to a deeper truth that Democrats refuse to acknowledge – after decades of failed appeasement policies, Americans are ready for leaders who actually understand the threat posed by communist dictatorships in our backyard. Rubio, whose family fled Castro's brutal regime, represents everything the Cuban people have been fighting for: freedom, prosperity, and human dignity.
A Secretary of State Who Actually Gets It
Unlike the Obama-Biden administration's embarrassing embrace of the Castro regime, Trump's team understands that you don't negotiate with communist thugs – you defeat them. Rubio's appointment as Secretary of State sends a crystal-clear message to every tin-pot dictator from Havana to Caracas: the days of American weakness are over.
"Marco Rubio knows firsthand what socialism and communism do to families and nations," one State Department source told reporters. "He's not going to play footsie with regimes that murder their own people."
The internet's embrace of "President Rubio of Cuba" reflects growing frustration with the island's continued oppression under communist rule. While Biden spent four years coddling dictators and apologizing for America, Trump's return has reinvigorated hopes for real change across Latin America.
Of course, the mainstream media is already working overtime to spin this obvious joke into some kind of "constitutional crisis." These are the same people who spent four years claiming Trump was literally Hitler while ignoring actual human rights abuses in Cuba, China, and Iran.
The real question isn't whether Rubio could do a better job than Cuba's current communist leadership – of course he could. The question is: when will the American people finally reject the Left's failed foreign policy of weakness and embrace Trump's winning strategy of peace through strength?
