Summary

Secretary of State Marco Rubio grew visibly frustrated during an ABC News interview when questioned about the Trump administration’s approach to Russia.

Defending Trump’s push for peace talks with Putin, Rubio insisted negotiations were necessary but admitted the administration didn’t know Russia’s demands.

He clashed with host George Stephanopoulos over Trump’s refusal to call Putin a dictator and the U.S. siding with Russia in a recent UN vote.

Rubio also compared Trump’s handling of Ukraine to Biden’s approach to Israel, further escalating tensions.

    Why can’t we have a woman president? They’re too emotional for politics?

    Also: the emotional melt down is a tactic. This is populism trump style, none of this is unintentional

      We currently have a woman president. Trump signed an EO saying that all Americans are female so he’s the first woman president.

        Just to add: Since sex is specified “at conception”, there are only a couple cells, and thus aren’t capable of producing either sex cell. The EO says that everyone is non-binary!

      Did you watch the video? He never had a melt down. He was frustrated but overall kept his cool and spouted the lies he was supposed to say.
