Sen. [crscore]Marco Rubio[/crscore] expressed doubts about Donald Trump’s readiness to be president specifically in the areas of foreign policy.
Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Rubio told anchor George Stephanopoulos that Trump is “going to have to show some in depth knowledge of the foreign policy issues” in order to alleviate his reservations about Trump being ready to be commander in chief.
Stephanopoulos asked Rubio, “Straight question, do you think Donald Trump is ready to be commander in chief?”
“Well, I think in order for Donald to pass that threshold eventually at some point he’s going to have to show some in depth knowledge of the foreign policy issues before us. Up to now, he has not done that,” Rubio insisted.
Stephanopoulos interjected, “He’s not ready right now?”
“Well, he’s new to politics, and so I think he still has time to learn about these things, but he’s running out of time,” Rubio said. “Last night alone, we just had a brief question about North Korea. This is a huge threat. The leader of North Korea is a lunatic, but he possesses long-range missiles that are probably already capable of reaching the United States, most certainly capable of reaching Guam and Hawaii and not to mention our allies like Japan and South Korea.”
Trump “better have an in depth understanding of that, that because on your first day in office you cannot predict what issue will confront you,” Rubio argued. “I know this, of all those people on that stage last night still running for president, none of them has more experience or a better understanding or has proven better judgment on these issues than I have.”
“And right now Donald Trump does not have that readiness,” Stephanopoulos asked.
“Well, I don’t think Donald Trump has answered questions about foreign policy in depth up to this point. He didn’t know what the nuclear triad was what he was asked a few weeks ago in one of our other debates. And even last night, the most he could say about North Korea was something about China and leverage,” Rubio suggested.
