Secretary of State Marco Rubio has yet again become the subject of Internet memes after abandoning his usual attire.
He traded in his business suit for a tracksuit, according to a post from White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, who dubbed the outfit the “Nike Tech ‘Venezuela’” on Tuesday.

You’ve got to be comfortable while making those long trips on Air Force One.
And Rubio looks comfortable!

He’s training for the 2028 Olympics. Marco will be replacing the entire US men’s running team, and is perfecting a 3.5 minute mile.

Also joining Trump’s trip to China is Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who was reportedly called by the president after initial reports indicated that Huang had not been invited. This was confirmed in a social media post made by the president himself.
Look:

“CNBC incorrectly reported that the Great Jensen Huang, of Nvidia, was not invited to the incredible gathering of the World’s Greatest Businessmen/women proudly going to China. In actuality, Jensen is currently on Air Force One and, unless I ask him to leave, which is highly unlikely, CNBC’s reporting is incorrect or, as they say in politics, FAKE NEWS!” Trump wrote. “It is an Honor to have Jensen, Elon, Tim Apple, Larry Fink, Stephen Schwarzmann, Kelly Ortberg (Boeing), Brian Sikes (Cargill), Jane Fraser (Citi), Larry Culp (GE Aerospace), David Solomon (Goldman Sachs), Sanjay Mehrotra (Micron), Cristiano Amon (Qualcomm), and many others journeying to the Great Country of China where I will be asking President Xi, a Leader of extraordinary distinction, to ‘open up’ China so that these brilliant people can work their magic, and help bring the People’s Republic to an even higher level! In fact, I promise, that when we are together, which will be in a matter of hours, I will make that my very first request. I have never seen or heard of any idea that would be more beneficial to our incredible Countries!”
