The image immediately went viral because Maduro was photographed in an almost identical outfit when U.S. forces arrested and extradited him to New York City earlier this year to face federal criminal charges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The White House leaned into the joke, posting a side-by-side video comparing Rubio and Maduro in the same outfit, dubbing it a \u201cfull circle moment.\u201d Online, users jokingly coined the term \u201cMaduromaxxing,\u201d while others called the move classic Rubio trolling, especially given his longtime hawkish stance toward socialist strongmen in Latin America.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Full circle moment <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6hkxyGNo8J\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/6hkxyGNo8J<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The White House (@WhiteHouse) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WhiteHouse\/status\/2054338104316547154?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">May 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The tracksuit itself has taken on an oddly specific internet fame since Maduro\u2019s capture, becoming a kind of inside joke among younger online conservatives and meme pages. Rubio, who was traveling with Trump for the president\u2019s high-profile Beijing visit, appeared unfazed by the attention, though the outfit briefly overshadowed the diplomatic mission itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The White House has increasingly embraced internet-native political humor. Even at 30,000 feet on the way to a summit with Beijing, there was still time to troll a deposed dictator.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/trump-dishes-on-rubios-maduro-nike-fit\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump gave his seal of approval Thursday to Marco Rubio\u2019s now-viral \u201cMaduro tracksuit\u201d look, joking to reporters that the secretary of state pulled off the outfit better than most. \u201cI thought he looked very good in the sweatsuit.
