President Donald Trump shared a laugh with Fox News host Will Cain after Cain jokingly revealed Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s alleged trick for catching some sleep aboard Air Force One—covering himself with blankets so Trump might mistake him for a staffer. When Cain teased that Rubio could be angling for another job, Trump smiled before offering his secretary of state some major praise, calling Rubio a “tough cookie” and predicting that he will ultimately be remembered as the best secretary of state in American history. The lighthearted exchange showed Trump mixing humor with a strong public endorsement of one of the most prominent members of his administration.
