Marco Rubio<\/a> has conquered the online world.<\/p>\n

The word most frequently associated with him is “hilarious.”<\/p>\n

He\u2019s become a one-man meme, with endless fake images of him wearing different outfits to exaggerate his many jobs.<\/p>\n

When a top government official goes so utterly viral<\/a>, it\u2019s usually for doing something cringeworthy.<\/p>\n

WHAT RUBIO\u2019S RISE AS THE INTERNET\u2019S ‘FIXER’ TELLS US ABOUT TODAY\u2019S POLITICS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the difference: Rubio is in on the joke.<\/p>\n

In fact, he\u2019s done everything he can to fan the flames of his cyberfame.<\/p>\n

The secretary of state<\/a> holds many jobs, including national security adviser, and, for a time, acting national archivist, acting head of the USAID program and de facto ruler of Venezuela.<\/p>\n

VIRAL MARCO RUBIO CLIP ON HIS VISION FOR AMERICA SPARKS MORE 2028 SPECULATION<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

First, he has a really good sense of humor.<\/p>\n

Football coach, sailor, Viking, Eskimo, Canadian mountie, armed bandit, astronaut, medieval disciple, grime-covered plumber \u2013 all posted by users with funny captions.<\/p>\n

And all this comes as President Trump has been asking his advisers: JD or Marco?<\/p>\n

Not that anyone\u2019s been thinking about 2028, right?<\/p>\n

Peak Marco came when he briefed the press while filling in for Karoline Leavitt, who just had a baby.<\/p>\n

Rubio played dumb for some of it. He said he had a chart and some had red X\u2019s next to their names, quickly admitting he made that up.<\/p>\n

He called on one reporter in black, then said, “you don\u2019t have black, and you have blue on,” even though he\u2019s “color blind\u2026 This is chaos, guys\u2026 There\u2019s no way I can figure out who to call on\u2026 Do they get two questions?… I\u2019m wingin\u2019 it, guys\u2026 Let\u2019s go to the front, these guys are gonna get mad.”<\/p>\n

The wittier moments have been strung together by online geeks to the point where it feels like a Netflix comedy special.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He answered one question in Spanish. Perhaps I should mention that Rubio would be the first Latino president.<\/p>\n

RUBIO\u2019S TRUMP ADMIN JUGGLING ACT GROWS AS MEME-WORTHY ROLE LIST BECOMES REALITY<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Rubio memes are the most delightful thing to hit modern politics in decades,” says Washington Post<\/a> columnist Megan McArdle. “The entire family can enjoy them, from your MAGA uncle to your #NeverTrump niece, from your \u2018resistance lib\u2019 cousin to your \u2018abundance bro\u2019 brother. For one shining moment, we can all glance at our phones and crack a whimsical smile together.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Rubio Memes Conquer the Internet,” says Newsweek.<\/p>\n

“Marco Rubio\u2019s Meme-Worthy Rise to the Center of Trump\u2019s Second Term,” says Miami New Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the secretary is also very disciplined, as when he was talking tough about Iran.\u00a0 He finessed a question on whether the U.S. firing on Iranian ships should be deemed an act of war by reframing the situation.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

“These guys shut down the Strait of Hormuz\u2026 The only people who are allowed to go through there without paying 100% are the Iranians. If you do that, they\u2019ll keep the Strait closed forever. It\u2019s not an act of war, it\u2019s a defensive measure. You know what is an act of war? Putting mines in the water\u2026 This is crazy stuff, but this is what they\u2019ve done.”<\/p>\n

MARCO RUBIO SPOTTED BEHIND DJ BOOTH AT FAMILY WEDDING AS SOCIAL MEDIA REACTS TO VIRAL CLIP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

But many analysts, not just in Tehran, do consider the American attacks an act of war.<\/p>\n

President Trump<\/a>, backed by Rubio, was more negative, saying yesterday the Iranian ceasefire “is on life support\u2026 If you can believe it, how stupid. Are they stupid people? They didn’t want to believe it. They think that, well, I’ll get tired of this or I’ll get bored, or I’ll have some pressure. But there’s no pressure. There’s no pressure at all.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s possible that Vance may not run \u2013 he and his wife are expecting another baby \u2013 but whether it\u2019s Rubio or Vance, they\u2019d both be saddled with defending the Trump record.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not that the former Florida senator<\/a> is incapable of acting like a typical politician. I remember grabbing him in the hallway in the run-up to the 2016 campaign and asking if he planned to run. He said he wasn\u2019t thinking about it, which we both knew was BS.<\/p>\n

During the campaign, I watched him work an audience and thought this guy knows what to do behind the mic. When a woman fainted, he stopped and made sure she got help before continuing.<\/p>\n

I do know one thing: once you run for president, you\u2019ve been bitten by the bug.<\/p>\n

Vance, as vice president, is the obvious front-runner. Rubio has said he won\u2019t run if Vance does, and they have a friendly relationship. Trump wants Rubio to be second on the ticket.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s a Marco surge going on,\u00a0and he is more than happy to ride that wave.<\/p>\n

Oh, there\u2019s one more thing. At a family event, Rubio was seen working the music board as people danced \u2013 what we used to call a spinner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A reporter asked about his moniker.<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re not ready for my DJ name,” he said with a big grin.<\/p>\n

Now that\u2019s a rock \u2019n\u2019 roll Republican.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
