Rubio Hands Off One of His Four Jobs

Secretary-of-State Marco Rubio (R) is down to Three Jobs in the Trump (R) Administration, Ditching One just in time for Labor Day. Rubio handed over the Responsibilities, at Trump's Request, for Leading the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to Russell Vought (R), who serves as Budget Director for the Administration.

The Secretary-of-State, also serves as National Security Adviser, and Head of the National Archives, has joked about the many hats He wears for Trump. At a Cabinet Meeting earlier this week, Rubio started off His Report saying: "Personally, this is the most meaningful Labor Day of my life, as someone who has four jobs." There was much laughter in the room.

"I joked with @POTUS that I had four jobs. He told me to give one to my friend Vought, so I did," He wrote in a Post on X Friday Morning. "Since January, we've saved the taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. And with a small set of core programs moved over to the State Department, USAID is officially in close out mode. Russ is now at the helm to oversee the closeout of an agency that long ago went off the rails. Congrats, Russ."

Vought, who Heads the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), also Serves as the Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). This now brings Him up to Three Jobs, on par with Rubio.

USAID, which was the Government's Largest Assistance Agency, was One of the First Agencies targeted by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), formerly run by Musk. Its Functions were Transferred to the State Department on July 1st. Much of its Staff is on Administrative Leave, and a few Hundred will be absorbed into Roles at State. Vought will Oversee the Final Stages of its Shutdown.

Rubio's Announcement came as He prepares to make His Fourth trip to the Western Hemisphere next week, when He'll visit Mexico and Ecuador. The Secretary-of-State became the Subject of Friendly Banter, about His many Roles as He accumulated Responsibilities in the Administration, which many said showed Trump's Trust in Him.
