Rubio will be the first person since Henry Kissinger in the 1970s to hold the positions of secretary of state and national security adviser simultaneously.

At least he lasted a decamooch

Only if you round up. It's only 9.2 mooches. But I like how "decamooch" sounds, so I'll allow it lol.

-10ScM actually, because the Scarramucci Constant is a negative number (he was fired after it was announced he had the job, but before he actually assumed the role)

Oh, thank God for that much, at least. The other guy whose name was I saw getting floated as a replacement was Steven Witkoff, a real estate guy that Trump used to talk to Ukraine and Russia. I'd vastly rather have Rubio there.

EDIT: Also, OP, you've got a typo in your submitted text:

Maltz

Should be "Waltz". Not sure if that was in the original article text or not, but if it was, it's "Waltz" in the current article text.

Rubio has proven to be a POS as well. Rubio is also Hispanic:

Deported persons in El Salvador

In February 2025, Rubio met with El Salvador president Nayib Bukele and reached an agreement for the country to take in deported foreign nationals who committed crimes, in addition to jailed U.S. citizens and permanent residents.[246][247] Rubio praised the agreement as a way of rehousing deportees and American prisoners in a two-year-old Salvadoran "mega-prison".[248][249]
