'Adelson's Pet Project' Rubio Will Be a Mike Pompeo-Type Betrayer for Trump: Ritter
Trump once called the Florida senator the perfect "little puppet" for the Adelsons
Scott Ritter, the former UN weapons inspector, criticized reports that Donald Trump planned on tapping Sen. Marco Rubio as his top diplomat because he believes the Florida Republican has a different worldview than Trump and will end up betraying the president-elect.
“Rubio makes no sense whatsoever,” Ritter told the “Dialogue Works” podcast, noting that an invitation from Trump was not confirmed. Ritter called Rubio a “pet project” of the billionaire Adelson family. He noted that Miriam Adelson, one of the richest women in the U.S., gave Trump $100 million in this year’s election.

He said the Adelsons have been trying to make Rubio president, so there’s a chance that Trump agreed to give him the high-profile position to appease the billionaire family.
“But it makes no sense,” Ritter said. “The two don’t see eye-to-eye, Rubio doesn’t conform to anything that Donald Trump is saying he wants to do with Russia, Ukraine, the Middle East. Rubio is somebody who believes that he is more qualified to be president than Donald Trump. He said that. People who have behaved in this way in the past have betrayed Donald Trump. Marco Rubio will betray Donald Trump 100 percent. He’s not a Trump man, he’s not going to support Trump policy.”
