I Know Which Goon Trump Will Turn on Next: Wolff [View all]

Donald Trump will fire Marco Rubio, the president’s biographer predicts, because the secretary of state too often appears to be in charge—a big no-no in Trumpworld.

Michael Wolff said on the Daily Beast’s Inside Trump’s Head podcast that the president can’t stand it when subordinates get too much of the credit. Rubio, whose presence has been rising in the administration, fits the mold for that “fatal” flaw, Wolff said.

“I have watched Trump operate now for way, way too long—10 years in which... Donald Trump has dominated my life, and... because he does the same thing over and over and over again, [I have become] pretty good at being able to chart the Donald Trump course,” Wolff, the author of four books about Trump, told co-host Hugh Dougherty.

“I think he’s going to fire Marco Rubio. I mean, Rubio has now become the standout figure in this administration,” Wolff continued.

When compared with the subpar competition, Wolff explained, Rubio is by default “the only guy who seems to show up for work every day and to sit down at a desk and to be capable of addressing what’s on his desk at any given time.”
