President Donald Trump said Thursday that he’s putting Secretary of State Marco Rubio in charge of the U.S. bid to bring the 2035 World Expo to Miami, stacking a new assignment onto the former Florida senator’s already-high-profile role running America’s top diplomatic shop.
Trump said Florida wants the Expo and that he backs Miami as the host city, according to an Associated Press report that cited his social media post.
“The Great State of Florida has expressed strong interest in hosting the Expo in Miami, which I fully support,” Trump wrote. “Miami Expo 2035 can be the next big milestone in our new Golden Age of America. I am appointing Miami native Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Chair the efforts of coordinating and advancing this exciting opportunity to convene the World.”
Rubio’s expanding portfolio has become a running joke online — and even Trump has leaned into it — as the White House increasingly taps the secretary for high-visibility political and policy tasks beyond traditional State Department work.
On Feb. 3, 2025, the State Department announced he’d been appointed the acting administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development. Trump followed on Feb. 16, naming Rubio acting archivist of the United States in a Truth Social post about installing Jim Byron to run the National Archives day to day. On May 1, Trump said Rubio would also serve as national security advisor “in the interim” while continuing to lead the State Department. And now Trump is adding another line to the résumé — tapping Rubio to chair the effort to land the 2035 World Expo in Miami.
Rubio became secretary of state after leaving the Senate, triggering Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to appoint then-state Attorney General Ashley Moody to fill the seat, The Associated Press reported.

Hahaha, poor Marco, yet another title ...
He’s most likely the most successful pick on the administration. He’s actually way better than I anticipated and totally ready to be president of the United States.
Marco has been GREAT!
Very few VPs wind up as President.
Security????....How about Texas?
“I do think Vance will step aside for Marco”
And Rubio said he would step aside if Vance runs. So it’ll be interesting to see how things play out.
We have an embarrassment of riches with potential candidates. Those two, plus Bessent, Hegseth, et al. They’d all be good, IMO so far.
You’re right. The Dems only have Newsome...the usual pretty boy.
Trump had best step aside Vance.
How far in Trump’s term can Vance take over and still have 2 terms left to him.
Then Rubio will come along and give 2 terms of the most experienced president to be.
Cruz will take over the Supreme Court as Roberts steps aside.
The outlier is the Representative body which has been crafted by cheating elections.
“How far in Trump’s term can Vance take over and still have 2 terms left to him.”
I think the end of January 2027 ...
????
Rubio’s been a real workhorse for Trump’s agendas - I’m wondering if Trump is grooming him for loftier positions...
Yes, both of them.
Hahaha, poor Marco, yet another title ...
*******************************************
…. and yet another meme to have made.
Exactly... both
It’s an ongoing joke, Marco is now the leader of multiple countries and numerous government agencies - so we have to come up with a new image of Marco every week.
