Trump and Rubio took shots at each other throughout the 2016 race, with Rubio saying Trump had “small hands” and dubbing his opponent, then a Florida senator, “Little Marco” The spat could have represented the end of Rubio ’s political career, but he stayed in the race to keep Florida , then considered a swing state, in the GOP column.

Now Rubio is arguably the most powerful Secretary of State since Henry Kissinger left office.

Rubio ’s stylistic contrast with Trump may be why the pair complement each other so well, according to a political professor.

“I think his secret is that he knows his stuff. Whether you agree with him or not, he has done his homework and is prepared,” the professor said.
