YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

For a couple of minutes during President Trump's State Of The Union on Tuesday, he took time to effusively praise Secretary of State Marco Rubio. After claiming he could go down as "the best" to ever hold the position, there remains a lingering question: what motivated the president to say it?

While it may have been a simple congratulations, multiple reports now indicate Trump is asking people about whether they prefer Rubio or Vice President JD Vance. Those two have been constantly linked as the 2028 presidential rumor mill begins to ramp up, so could this praise have been Trump planting a seed?
