Marco Rubio is a man with his hands full. Not only does he hold the position of Secretary of State, but he’s also stepping in as the acting National Security Advisor. As if that weren’t enough, he’s taken on the role of acting Archivist of the United States. Before the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) closed, he was even appointed as its head. And these are just the official titles we’re aware of—there might be even more undisclosed roles he’s juggling.

This impressive list of responsibilities has sparked a wave of “Marco realizing” memes, humorously portraying him in a variety of professions. One widely circulated image shows him slumped in a chair, looking thoroughly worn out, which has become a goldmine for internet creators who can’t get enough of the comedic potential.

In light of these antics, some are speculating that he might soon add head coach of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins to his résumé, following the recent firing of the team’s coach, Mike McDaniel, after another disappointing season. However, Rubio has reassured the public that, for the time being, he does not intend to pursue that position:

The tweet continues to hint:

Astute observers might have noticed that he didn’t completely rule out the possibility of considering the job in the future. Just something to think about. As an avid NFL enthusiast and with his wife Jeanette being a former Dolphins cheerleader, it wouldn’t be entirely surprising if he entertained the idea.

The Left Lost the Meme Wars

I will not be a candidate for the currently vacant HC and GM positions with the Miami Dolphins.

While you never know what the future may bring right now my focus must remain on global events…

The tweet continues:

While you never know what the future may bring right now my focus must remain on global events and also the precious archives of the United States of America.

Thank you

Sharp-eyed readers will note that he did not shut the door on the possibility of taking the job in the future. Just saying. Rubio is a known NFL fan, and his wife Jeanette is a former Dolphins cheerleader, so why not?

The Left Lost the Meme Wars

This administration, from Donald Trump to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to VP JD Vance on down, has proven to be a humorous group that is not afraid to make fun of themselves. This has proven to be an effective weapon as it showcases the sharp contrast with the bitter leftist shrieking that seems to be the Dems’ default response to virtually anything the president does. 

All the president’s men (and women) may be funny, but by showing their humanity, they also make themselves more attractive to voters. It’s a tool that the dour progressives are utterly lacking, and they look like grim sourpusses most of the time. Hard leftists might love that, because they’re a deeply depressed lot, but independents, maybe not so much.

Rubio, meanwhile, has engendered a virtual factory of meme creators:

There are so many, we need to use one that showcases multiple examples:

This administration is making humor fun again, and I think it helps their mission. In the meantime, here’s hoping that Marco gets some sleep.
