Several critics took to social media to share their reactions to the jab.

One user shared on X: “Payback for that Marco clip of him calling Trump a con artist way back when. Trump will continue with the public humiliations. I mean, that’s Trump 101.”

Another X user commented: “Big Don threw so many veiled threats tonight. He made Mike Johnson look like he was about to have a nervous breakdown.”

A third person wrote: “I’m no body language expert, but everything about Marco Rubio here says: 1. I wish I could disappear, 2. WTF am I doing? 3. This job sucks and eventually I’ll get fired and thrown under the bus.”
