<p>Marco Rubio is stealing a look from <span style="font-weight:400">Nicolás Maduro.</span></p>
<p>Aboard Air Force One on his way to China with President Donald Trump, the secretary of state is rocking the Nike sweatsuit that was worn by Maduro after he <span style="font-weight:400">U.S. forces arrested him and extradited him to New York to face criminal charges, according to a picture posted by White House official Steven Cheung. </span></p>
<p>“Secretary Rubio rocking the Nike Tech ‘Venezuela’ on Air Force One!” wrote Cheung.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight:400">The White House immediately posted a <a href="https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/2054338104316547154?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> that shows Rubio and Maduro both in the same clothes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">The short clip starts off with Rubio’s now-famous quoting of</span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JZom_gVfuw" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight:400">The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Juicy”</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> on January 3, 2026, saying,</span><a href="https://x.com/StateDept/status/2007530937362321732?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight:400">“If you don’t know, now you know,”</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> referencing the overnight capture of Maduro.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Then, the video transitions to a cropped photo shared by President Trump on Truth Social showing the blindfolded Venezuelan leader dressed in the gray Nike sweatsuit aboard a U.S. naval warship en route to the United States, his ears covered with noise-canceling headphones. At the very end, the video has straight-faced Rubio donning the same outfit aboard Air Force One.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">“Full circle moment,”</span><a href="https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/2054338104316547154?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight:400">the White House said on social media. </span></a></p>

<p><span style="font-weight:400">“Haters will say it’s AI,” a White House official said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">“Marco Rubio will be next President based on the memes alone,” said another user.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">The gray Nike Tech suit became a viral social media meme following Maduro’s capture. The specific Nike Tech suit featured in the Maduro photo carries cultural significance, particularly for younger men in the worlds of rap music and sports.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">The morning after Maduro’s capture, Rubio hammered the</span><a href="https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/nicol-s-maduro-moros-and-14-current-and-former-venezuelan-officials-charged-narco-terrorism" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight:400">indicted narco-terrorist</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> and used the moment to reinforce the administration’s messaging. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">“I hope what people now understand is we have a president, the 47th president of the United States, is not a game player. When he tells you that he’s going to do something, when he’s going to tell you he’s going to address a problem, he means it,” Rubio said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">“This is a president of action, like, I don’t understand yet how they haven’t figured this out. And now, if you don’t know, now you know, because this is the way it’s going to play out,” he added.</span></p>
