WASHINGTON D.C. — LEDE Donald Trump amplified a partisan social-media post celebrating Secretary of State Marco Rubio for telling a Democratic senator that a student visa is a privilege, not a right. The post, credited to the pseudonymous account @GOP_is_Gutless, framed a claimed Senate exchange as a decisive win over Democrats. Trump reshared the item to his Truth Social audience, adding it to a steady stream of immigration messaging. The characterization came from commentary, not an official transcript or verified video.
