Let's face it. Trump is never going to "endorse" the couch effer as his "successor." He has a crush on Little Marco.

Rubio is a DREAM COME TRUE for Trump. During the first campaign, he thoroughly ridiculed and humiliated him, and in 2026, Marco spends most of his time with his snout never more than an inch away from Trump's butt.

Trump Blows Off Vance While Gushing Over Little Marco
DON'T ADD VANCE
It was the second time in almost as many weeks that Trump declined to fully endorse his VP.

Trump has once again refused to endorse Vice President JD Vance as his preferred successor while he gushed about Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s performance on the world stage.

For the second time in less than two weeks, the president declined to give Vance his wholehearted backing for the next presidential race, instead opting to sidestep a firm commitment while he still has three years in office.

Speaking aboard Air Force One as he returned to Washington, a reporter asked Trump about the positive reviews Rubio received at the Munich Security Council over the weekend—and whether there was any scenario in which he would support him at the top of the Republican ticket in 2028.

“That’s something I don’t have to worry about now,” Trump said.

“I’ve got three years to go, so it’s something I don’t have to worry (about). JD is fantastic, and Marco is. They’re both fantastic, I think, really. And I think Marco did a great job in Munich.”
