I put this in AIBU for traffic. I am furious and I know what I’m feeling is reasonable. Trump has convinced/bullied whatever Romania into releasing the bastards and has allowed them to fly to America. They are on their way to Florida. No doubt to be wined and dined at bloody Maralago. They will now have a luxury life and continue to be able to abuse and exploit women and girls and also corrupt the minds of boys and young men. 😡

Yes. This US administration is the champion of toxic masculinity. I cannot understand women who helped vote them in. Those guys (the Tates) don't deserve the air they breathe frankly. And the fact that the MAGA crowd is on their side reflects terribly on the American people.

But but but…The MAGAts and Trumpers are adamant that Trump cares about women and girls….

Neither the right nor the left are a friend to women, but to the lefts shame - it is they who have launched the most vicious attack on women and girls in recent years. To the extent that Trump looks as though he hates them less.

MrsPernicious · 27/02/2025 15:55

Trump likes them. They are friends with Donald junior.

They seem like a pair of tw@ts but pretty insignificant really so not worth getting worked up about.

With the reach they have over the easily influenced, they are certainly not insignificant.

Typical trump. Same arse, different cheeks

Not insignificant at all (unfortunately)! Please do your research before posting. Watch 'The Dangerous Rise of Andrew Tate'...and then get back to us 👌🏻

My son and I saw a clip of them this morning in response to this story probably, dancing around with their shirts off whilst smoking cigars. Complete tools. It was hilarious. I don't think that they are going to exert much influence over anyone.

Andrew Tate has some lovely lesson about how to have sex with women - choke, slap etc
Just what our teens need to learn about - how ‘real’ men have sex and how women need to learn to submit to them.

They'll be working in the Trump administration next.

Are you joking or being serious? I only ask because I genuinely believe they are going to be interviewed by Trump and if he likes them, formal roles will be given to them in his administration. And those roles will be family orientated ones are around young men and adulthood.

FastFood · 27/02/2025 15:51

The message is very clear: women and girls can fuck off.
Absolutely appalling, but not surprising at all.

Apologies as actually that pair of rapey cunts have dual citizenship I do believe. So perhaps he does have some

They've been crying for US to bail them out since it all started, because they have US passports and were born there. Biden adminstration were never going to do that. Trump has stepped in.

Sampler · 27/02/2025 15:47

I’m waiting for the orange one to let all the rapists and incels out of prison next saying they were just misunderstood nice guys, the best guys…sure he had Conor McGregor (who people are disgusted with in Ireland) over for his inauguration, he’s collecting them like trophies for his small penis energy.
The Tates are knobs too but it’s the act of excusing their behaviour that’s the issue here IMO. I don’t think they are worthy of any attention but they shouldn’t get off so easily for crimes. That sounds silly given the orange one is a felon. Doh !

MrsPernicious · 27/02/2025 15:46

About to land to the news that they can have all their confiscated stuff back.

The pair of them are vile misogynists intent on creating an army of young men in their own image with revolting, dangerous attitudes to women. I'd like 20 minutes in a locked room with each of them and a pair of rusty scissors.

Yes they are a pair of twats, but they have not been found guilty. We can't have a situation where the authorities can lock people up for an indefinite period of time or impose strict rules upon their life without being convicted. It would be a slippery slope indeed!

You have a point but Trump has fuck all jurisdiction in this and should keep his orange beak out

I disagree - they have huge influence over young men and working in BC a secondary school in a low income area I see evidence of this daily

So absolutely worth getting worked up about.

How is Trump involved?

It's a genuine question

It looks like he has intervened with Romanian Authorities to ask for them to be released, one would wonder why he would bother to do that

orangesandlemonssaythebellsofstclements · 27/02/2025 12:57

All we can do is make sure our boys and young men are incorruptible. Teach them NOW that what these disgusting people say and do is not right and get their fathers/men in their life to do the same.
Get to them before Tate and his ilk stand a chance.
Those that look up to Tate are those that were never given better role models.

Genuine question, how do you do this? Because it's starting to look like the more effort that goes into doing this, the more radicalised in favour of Tate young men become.

catmothertes1 · 27/02/2025 15:38

Trump will probably put them in charge of teaching men to behave like real men again and get women to do what men want them to do.

SerenityNowSerenityNow · 27/02/2025 15:37

It's incredibly worrying.
The fact they're flying to Florida is very telling.

Araminta1003 · 27/02/2025 14:00

Is Trump planning on pushing them Reform way?

I can't imagine Reform would touch them. They have outstanding warrants against them in the UK and would be arrested on arrival in any case. They're flying to Florida so I suspect a trip to Mar-a-Lago for a photo up with Trump and Musk are on the cards.

Of course you can - have you never heard of remand or internment? They weren't even 'locked up', they were on bail but had their passports seized as they were a flight risk.

I think it's a bit worse than that. They rape and traffic women and children. As social media influencers go, this is beyond the looking glass stuff.

And make money off it. And boast about it. They’re are vile and toxic…

er, yes we can. When the crimes are serious enough. When they’re a flight risk for example. Or if they’re a danger to the public.
or if they are in a position to intimidate witnesses … all of which they are Sex trafficking, abuse, rape …

How is Trump involved?

It's a genuine question

From the BBC

Today’s news was preceded by a diplomatic effort on behalf of Donald Trump’s White House.

US officials had brought up the case with the Romanian government earlier this month, a discussion that was first reported by the Financial Times.

And Trump envoy Richard Grenell raised the issue again a little over a week ago, at a security conference in Munich.

There are other ties as well.
One of Tate’s lawyers now works in the White House as a liaison to the US Justice Department.

Paul Ingrassia was part of a team representing the Tate brothers in a defamation lawsuit they filed against several of their alleged victims.

But Ingrassia also acted as Andrew Tate’s publicist and says he got the self-described misogynist influencer onto a show hosted by Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host.

Ingrassia effusively praised Tate in online posts. In one dating from July 2023, he echoed far-right online talking points about moral decay in Western countries and called Tate “an extraordinary human being” who was offering “a dying West some hope for renewal”.
