With President Trump moving so fast and doing several outrageous things each day, it is hard to keep up and some things slip by hardly noticed. One such thing that should generate outrage but is slipping by hardly noticed is that President Trump is pressuring Romania to lift travel restrictions on Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan where they are awaiting trial on various criminal and civil charges in that country.
Andrew Tate is the worst of the bro podcasters promoting a form of hyper masculinity and has something like 10 million followers. He is truly a despicable person. I have watched some of his podcast. I know the term misogynist is loosely thrown around to describe anyone who is not on board with the contemporary progressive feminist view or anyone who thinks traditional family roles have merit. The word is used as a pejorative and so loosely used that it essentially means nothing other than that the person using it thinks you are a bad person. That being said, that does not mean there are not real misogynist. Tate is one. His view of women is truly despicable. Tate describes himself as "an absolute misogynist." He has said of himself, "I'm a realist and when you're a realist, you're sexist. There's no way you can be rooted in reality and not be sexist." He says women are "intrinsically lazy" and says there is "no such thing as an independent female".
Andrew Tate made a fortune as a website entrepreneur. Some sources refer to this venture as a porn website and others refer to it as a modeling website. He then had or maybe still has a website called Hustler University were for a monthly fee, Tate can teach you how to make a living without working, by doing such things as investing in crypto and other hustles. He is a former world class kickboxer and a celebrity, and a bodybuilder. He is a conspicuous consumer who collects cars and displays an ostentations lifestyle and wealth.
This is part of what Wikipedia says about Tate's legal troubles:
In April 2022, the US embassy received a report that an American citizen was being held against her will in a property the Tate brothers own in Pipera, Romania.[176] Romanian police raided the home and a nearby webcam studio belonging to the Tates, where they discovered four women. Two of them, the American and another Romanian woman, told the police they were being held against their will, sparking an in-rem[b] investigation into human trafficking and rape by DIICOT, the Romanian anti-organised crime agency.[178][179] Later in December, police arrested the Tates and two women.[180][181] All four were suspected of human trafficking and forming an organised crime group, and one of them is suspected of rape.[176][182] Romanian authorities seized 29 assets, including cars, properties, watches, and money, totaling almost US$4 million.
The Trump administration has been working to persuade Romania to let the Tates leave the country. High level envoys have discussed the issue. Some see J. D. Vance's recent criticism of the way the nation is governed and talk of investigating how USAID money was spent in the country as leverage to persuade the Romania government to let the Tates leave the country. Why is Trump interested in Andrew Tate and his legal problems?
Andrew Tate is part of the far-right group of Trump supporters with friends from Tucker Carlson to Alex Jones and various other bro podcasters who either speak favorably of Tate or who are actively advocating for him. Tate endorsed Trump in the recent election, and Tate has influence among young non-college-educated men, a demographic that Trump carried in the last election.
Trump cares about nothing except loyalty. Trump likes those who like him. Everything is transactional. Trump has the back of those who support him. Also, Alan Tate is a scumbag. If not convinced, do a quick Google search and watch one or two of his podcasts. Trump has a fondness for scumbags. They are his kind of people.
