Trump Bursts Out Laughing at Rubio’s Labor Day Joke During Cabinet Meeting
Washington, D.C. — A rare moment of levity broke through a serious Cabinet meeting this week when Secretary of State Marco Rubio cracked a Labor Day joke that had everyone — including President Trump — in stitches.
Rubio, who has been shouldering an unusually heavy load in the administration, quipped that Labor Day has suddenly become his “favorite holiday” of the year. With a grin, he reminded his colleagues that besides running the State Department, he’s also doubling as interim National Security Adviser, acting USAID chief, and even temporary archivist of the National Archives.
The punchline hit its mark. The room erupted in laughter, and President Trump himself leaned back, smiling broadly as he enjoyed the lighthearted break from the weighty discussions on the table.
A Glimpse Behind the Curtain
The exchange was brief but telling. It highlighted Rubio’s willingness to poke fun at his own workload while offering the Cabinet — and the President — a welcome dose of humor. Observers described the moment as a sign of camaraderie, showing unity and good spirits within Trump’s inner circle as the fall political season heats up.
Clips of the exchange are already circulating online, with many noting it provided a rare, humanizing glimpse into the Trump administration’s behind-the-scenes dynamic.
