During the primary candidates Trump and Rubio were brutal to one another in very personal ways, Rubio making fun of Trump’s stubby fingers, while front-running candidate Trump referred to Rubio as “Little Marco,” a fitting nickname based on the photo, above, showing Ivanka towering over Rubio as he attempts to give the First Daughter a hug at the Capitol.
The MSM and social media have analyzed the photo ad nauseam, which has erupted into a twitterfest.
Good sport Rubio, in self-deprecating fashion, played along with a string of hilarious tweets. However, Ivanka’s reply tweets are gems, poking the “fake news” mainstream media in the eye, citing “anonymous sources,” commenting on the “alleged” failed hug, then offering “no comment.”
