播音员:本节目讨论了共和党内对特朗普总统的普遍支持,以及一些共和党议员为了迎合特朗普,在一些问题上妥协了自己的立场,例如爱荷华州参议员乔尼·恩斯特对国防部长人选的提名投票,以及马可·卢比奥在乌克兰问题上的立场转变。从2014年对乌克兰坚定支持,到如今作为国务卿对特朗普政府强硬立场的默认,体现了这种转变。 评论员:卢比奥的转变是出于政治生存的考虑。他为了获得特朗普的青睐,改变了自己的世界观,这在2016年总统竞选中输给特朗普后尤为明显。他将这种转变视为通往更高政治职位的踏板,例如副总统或国务卿。卢比奥在乌克兰问题上的转变尤其引人注目,他从坚定支持乌克兰到在椭圆形办公室会议上沉默不语,这与他之前的言行形成了鲜明对比。他的肢体语言也表明他对特朗普的行为不满。然而,他最终还是为特朗普的行为辩护,这表明他在外交政策上几乎没有影响力,而特朗普政府的外交政策实际上是由白宫决定的。 评论员2: 许多共和党人为了迎合特朗普总统的“美国优先”政策而改变立场,卢比奥的转变是其中一个显著的例子。他曾经是支持美国在全球发挥领导作用的坚定支持者,如今却默认了特朗普政府对乌克兰的强硬立场,这导致了对乌克兰的严重后果,并在世界其他地区造成了动荡。卢比奥在椭圆形办公室会议上的沉默和随后的言论,表明他缺乏影响力,并且外交政策的决策权掌握在白宫手中。

It's been a little more than a week since Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. Vice President JD Vance was in the meeting too. And Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, sat on an Oval Office couch, mostly silent, as Trump and Vance berated the Ukrainian leader. Along the way, the president and vice president made it clear just how much of the established global order they are ready to upend. An order that for most of his career, Rubio has defended, and worked to help hold up. So what changed ...and what do those changes mean?
