Rubio labeled Trump a fraud, yet as we can see, Trump chose not to retaliate against him - Vitaly Daynega.

Vitaly Deynega, a volunteer and founder of the charity foundation "Povernys Zhyvym," reminded us of how the current Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, criticized Donald Trump prior to his first term.
Рубио обвинил Трампа в мошенничестве, но, как видно, Трамп не ответил жестко. - Виталий Дейнега

1. About Trump's dishonesty

"He is a fraud. He deceives people. He sells them his lies." (February 2016, during the election campaign.)

2. About Trump's business dealings

"Donald Trump has spent his entire life taking advantage of ordinary people — from small businesses that he drove to bankruptcy to those from whom he attempted to seize homes through eminent domain."

3. About small businesses and Trump University

"He sold people on Trump University, which had no real value. He told them: 'Give me $36,000, and I will teach you how to get rich,' and then he simply took their money."

4. About Trump's temperament

"Imagine someone with Donald Trump's temperament having control over the U.S. nuclear arsenal." (He was trying to convey that Trump is too impulsive for the presidency.)

5. About Trump's connections with dictators

"He praised Putin. He praised Kim Jong-un. He praised Saddam Hussein. He even praised the Chinese government for crushing the protesters in Tiananmen Square."

6. About Trump's moral character

"How can one support a person who despises women, mocks people with disabilities, and uses racist insinuations?"

7. About Trump's personal attacks

"Trump is a person who tries to demean anyone he dislikes. If you criticize him, he seeks to destroy you."

These are all words from Marco Rubio, whose colleague Vance warned Zelensky against criticizing Trump. After losing to Trump in the 2016 primaries, Rubio changed his tone and began to support the future leader. As we can see, Trump not only did not destroy him but even did quite the opposite.

So take a deep breath, drink chamomile tea, enjoy the fresh air, and support the army. We endured for 11 years. We will endure here as well. The most important thing is to stick together. Apart from each other, we are not particularly needed. Well, except by the Russians, of course...
