I'm impressed and a bit suprised by Rubio's dialectic skills. Of course, knowing a little bit about his background and how these type of 'master orators' usually have a darks side in the sense that they only argue for some cause if there's something in it for themseleves, I by no means trust Rubio 100% or think that he's on 'our side'. However, as long as he feels it beneficial to himself to be loyal to Trump, he'll be very useful for Trump's team. During this CNN interview you get the sense that he knows exactly how these CIA-affiliated journalists think (if you can even call it thinking) and what strategies they use to try and 'get you'. Rubio, perhaps being a 'master manipulator' himself (and a more clever one than the CNN journo) knows exactly what and how to say the right things in order to not be ensnared. Sure, he said some things that we know not to be true, like how it was a good thing to give arms to Ukraine in the first place, but I got the impression that he threw in those type of 'facts' just to neutralize the straw man arguments he anticipated.Here are Rubio and Bessent giving their commentary. Good messaging, IMO:
Pathetic Europe...They are all living in the old world.
Putin doesn't care about Zelensky, Zelensky is a nobody. The problem is the British and Clintonoids who are behind Zelensky's back. Putin said long ago that Zelensky is not a lightweight and no one will sign anything with him. Now the states have seen it too.Yeah I got the feeling that Trump needs Zelensky to be replaced. When he mentioned that negotiations can’t work when you have such hate, it suggests that Zelensky is the problem here. When Putin said he wants to denazify Ukraine, Zelensky and his Nazi buddies are exhibit ‘A’. I wouldn’t be surprised if Putin has removal of Zelensky as one of the conditions for stopping the military operation, which means if Trump wants peace he would have to sacrifice Zelensky first.
Putin must be overjoyed with…

I have a suggestion:
After Trump hopefully wins, let's suggest that Donald Trump Jr. tries to run for president next. He strikes me as a pretty straight forward guy. I can't disagree with anything he says in the following Tucker video. He is astoundingly outspoken and seems to grasp what is going on quite well (although he might be a bit too talkative for my taste):

I think he could stand quite a good chance, actually. From what I heard, he has also attracted many people in a big rally tour throughout America. Quite similar to his father. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump thinking is pretty similarly to his son. Quite interesting.
You can refer back to what was mentioned here on this thread and other parts of the forum about Trumps pick for vice president, namely J.D. Vance.
A couple of days ago Donald Trump Jr. revealed a number of interesting details of how it happened that Vance was chosen, in his interview with Tucker:

Summary:
- It sounds like Trump Jr. himself (who is an interesting character in itself) recommended Vance for this position and Tucker seems to have played a role in that too.
- Jr. and Tucker mention how very much the republican “doner class“ was
against picking Vance and how hard it is to go against them.
- Jr. basically said how impressed he was how Vance was able to skillfully outsmart fake news people on mainstream in quite a number of interviews.
Somewhere else I heard that either he and/or other son’s of Trump know Vance personally for quite a while and are friends with him.
I‘m telling ya, Vance still seems to be a very interesting pick to me. Potentially quite a heavy weight in a positive sense.
Also, as I said elsewhere, I think Trump Jr. seems quite interesting too and potentially a future candidate for president. He is quite blunt and it seems like he has “woken up“ from quite a number of illusions about the world and America. What seems to have been his catalyst for going into that direction was everything that happened before and after Trump got elected for the first time. It also sounds like he has become pretty disillusioned about core illusions about America itself and how “great“ they ever were to begin with. Which is quite something for such a privileged american.
By the way, Tucker at the end says to Jr. that he hopes Jr. will run for president in the future.
At this point it almost seems like there is a huge coalition of very influential, famous and potentially good people forming around Trump. I mean, the PTB probably have never been confronted with a more brought and dangerous situation before (for them and their goals) than what we can see right now building in america. They might not be able to stop that wave, even if they steal the election yet again.
And also while watching it I had a feeling that it wasn't planned by Trump at all. It felt so natural and Trump with Vance didn't try to provoke Z, Vance's answer wasn't provocative. It was Z who ignited after he heard him talking about diplomacy, not pretending, calling Putin names, but taking action. Z then wanted to prove him that previous agreements were broken by Russia (which were actually broken by Ukrainian battalions) and no US president tried to prevent it. He ended his speech with an offensive question towards Vance and probably that's what provoked VP's emotional response afterwards.
I don't know, I have a feeling that it wasn't planned at all.
It's almost as if this was all set up in advance as a failed NATO psyop! pic.twitter.com/YdLo2cZlSp

But I presume you are not as obnoxious in your interactions as Zelenskyy was to Trump and Vance in the WH yesterday, are you?I must say this, Trump with Zelensky reminds me on my father in law (usually with me): "Kiddo, kiddo, you're annoying me now. Go, and come back when you are ready to listen".
I guess I am in his eyes at those momentsBut I presume you are not as obnoxious in your interactions as Zelenskyy was to Trump and Vance in the WH yesterday, are you?![]()
