It’s a very bad day to be a bad guy.

Following the capture and arrest of Venezuelan Dictator Nicolas Maduro, Marco Rubio issued a warning to all other tyrannical leaders around the globe.

President Trump doesn’t mess around.

When he says he’s going to do something, he does it, and he wastes no time.

As Rubio put it, President Trump “is not a game player” — as proven today.

“If you don’t know, now you know!”

Ironically, Maduro called for President Trump to come after him.

In the end, he got exactly what he asked for.

All other dictators should be shaking in their boots right now.

As for who may be next, Rubio and President Trump both hinted at Cuba during today’s press conference.

The Hill has more on that:

Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday warned Cuba’s leaders that “I’d be concerned” following the United States’ capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro during an attack earlier in the day.

Rubio spoke to reporters at a press conference at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. The secretary accused Cuba of being “run by incompetent, senile men, and in some cases not seen now, but incompetent nonetheless.” He claimed Maduro’s guards and Venezuela’s “whole spy agency” were “full of Cubans,” and that “this poor island took over Venezuela.”

“In some cases, one of the biggest problems Venezuelans have is they have to declare independence from Cuba,” Rubio added. “They tried to basically colonize it from a security standpoint. So, yeah, look, if I lived in Havana and I was in the government, I’d be concerned at least a little bit.”

Before Rubio spoke, Trump said his administration “wants to surround ourselves with good neighbors” but added that Cuba is “not doing very well right now” and a “failing nation.”

“It’s very similar in the sense that we want to help the people in Cuba, but we want to also help the people who are forced out of Cuba and living in this country,” he said.
