​

The Trump administration has pressured Romanian authorities to lift travel restrictions on the self-described misogynist influencer Andrew Tate, a champion of the US president who is facing criminal charges in Bucharest.​

​

Andrew and his brother Tristan Tate, who are dual US and UK nationals, have become a cause célèbre in rightwing social media after having been arrested in Romania in 2022 and charged with human trafficking, sexual misconduct and money laundering, as well as starting an organised crime group. They have denied wrongdoing.​

I'm glad the Trump administration is so concerned with human trafficking. No deplorables here.

Oh, I'm just waiting to see which people here come and try to defend Tate or this action.

Do we really want these two back? SMH.
Romania has charged them with very serious crimes. If acquitted, they can come back.

Huh, it worked for me before. Now it isn't.

Try this. It looks to be a reprint of the same thing:

I would support this just playing out in the courts before we do anything.

I dont know if he's guilty of anything. He has been found guilty yet. I say just let it play out.

Just one violent misogynist bailing out another. Who says toxic masculinity isn't a thing?

Trump isn't even doing this for altruistic purposes... it's just a sop to the angry bro faction of MAGA, most of whom actually think misogyny is perfectly fine and "masculine", and if a woman is raped by a rich man, it's probably because she deserved it.

Yet again, proof that we owe Hillary Clinton an apology. She was spot on about Trump's base, and couldn't have been more accurate. Trump is a mouthpiece for some of the most uncivil, dark, and nasty parts of our society right now.

It was hilarious to me that a few right wingers offered some lame excuses (Trump wasn't pressing them just stating what they want)...


And now?
Why is Andrew Tate flying to Florida – and does Trump have anything to do with it?


Seriously folks. Watch your young men! Tate is bad news if you have a woman in your life that you care about.

 

[Desk trauma]

Only back a day and republicans are already offering them a speaking gig.
