Trump Shares Provocative Post About Rubio and Cuba on Social Media

Former President Donald Trump took to his platform, Truth Social, on Sunday to share a post from user Cliff Smith, which included a sarcastic remark about U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio potentially becoming president of Cuba.

The post, dated January 8, featured the phrase "Marco Rubio is going to be president of Cuba" accompanied by a laughing emoji. Trump commented, "Sounds good to me."

Smith, who describes himself as a "California conservative" and has fewer than 500 followers, gained media attention after Trump's repost.

This incident follows a recent U.S. operation in Caracas, Venezuela, where authorities arrested the exiled Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and transferred him to the United States, heightening regional tensions involving Cuba and Venezuela that are of concern to the Trump administration.

Through this action, Trump continues to leverage social media to convey indirect political messages, blending sarcasm with serious references to U.S. positions on regional adversaries.
