What's This About?
This post is a satirical critique of Secretary of State Marco Rubio's expanding role in the Trump administration, particularly following the U.S. operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The joke plays on Rubio being assigned responsibility for managing Venezuela's future, while hyperbolically suggesting he's also been tasked with handling Iran, Canada, Minnesota, the Hilton hotel chain, and Greenland—poking fun at the administration's broad geopolitical ambitions and Rubio's apparent centrality to multiple foreign policy initiatives.
🔥Why It's Trending
This content is trending due to the high-profile nature of the Maduro capture and the Trump administration's aggressive foreign policy stance in early January 2026. The satirical post resonates because Rubio has genuinely become the public face managing Venezuela policy, with administration officials explicitly describing him as 'the manager of that problem,' making the exaggeration particularly relevant and humorous to observers of current events.
💡Fun Facts

- 4Rubio, as a Cuban-American whose family fled the Batista regime, has become instrumental in advancing Latin American regime change operations despite Trump's stated anti-interventionist campaign promises[3]
