“I like them both. I like them together,” former President Trump said on the “Pod Force One” podcast of the “New York Post” on Wednesday.
He added, “I don’t know how to beat them if they were together.”

He did not dare to say which of them should be the presidential candidate and which should run for the vice president post.

Last month, M. Rubio gained attention for confidently leading a White House press conference, answering questions about Iran, Cuba, and China.
He spoke relaxed, with humor, and almost without any insults that Trump often uses during his appearances in the press conference room.
