Some people in the United States foresaw the consequences of Trump handing over power to Rubio, and Rubio cannot be the second Kissinger.

There has been a major change in Trump's cabinet, with the former National Security Advisor, Voles, being "kicked out," and Secretary of State Rubio temporarily taking over this position. In this way, he becomes the second official in American history, after Kissinger, to concurrently serve as both Secretary of State and National Security Advisor.

However, in the view of Bolton, who was Trump's national security advisor during his last term, the consequences of Trump handing over power to Rubio would be severe. First, this move would greatly weaken Trump's control as president, especially in the Department of State and other important institutions closely related to U.S. national security. It seems he is hinting that from now on, these institutions will be accountable to Rubio first, who can decide what kind of intelligence Trump can hear and see.

Bolton also specifically pointed out that although there appears to be an overlap in the scope of work between the Secretary of State and the National Security Advisor, they are essentially different. In the current international geopolitical environment, "no one can truly handle it well."

In addition, Kissinger directly participated in the reshaping of the international landscape after World War II and had a strong presence in Sino-U.S. relations. His professional competence in major-country relations and international strategy is beyond doubt. As for Rubio, the ability he has shown recently is so poor that even doing his own job as Secretary of State seems difficult.
