Rogers and Trump's current handling of Secretary of State Marco Rubio amid negotiations involving Ukraine and Russia. It critiques Trump's unilateral approach, which includes blaming Ukraine for the conflict and demanding economic concessions that could damage Ukraine's future. The author suggests that Rubio, despite his bipartisan praise, is being used as a scapegoat while Trump pursues policies that primarily benefit Russia, sidelining essential diplomatic processes and weakening America’s international standing.
The history of Nixon's humiliations of his Secretary of State is a cautionary tale for patriotic officials in Trump's administration, who risk being sidelined in key negotiations.
