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. 😡

Despicable men. All three of them.

But not really a surprise, given what Trump is like.

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.

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

Arrivals4lucky · 27/02/2025 13:54

America loves people with money, even if that money has been made by sex trafficking, rapey, con artists.
Theres no way this despicable weasels are going to go back to face charges. Give it a couple of days and they’ll be photographed with Elon in the White House, and put in charge of a bureau overseeing women & girls rights.

I'm sure the US tax man would like a word with them.

I disagree,I think they are extremely dangerous especially with their misogynistic views which are influencing young boys.Not to mention trafficking women for sex.They are certainly not insignificant with their millions of followers..

Is Trump planning on pushing them Reform way?

RafaistheKingofClay · 27/02/2025 14:02

They may have to come to the U.K. to be pushed the reform way and I don’t think they can do that because they will be arrested.

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

Only if you think the growth in online misogyny and the radicalisation of young men in misogyny by men like the Tates is “insignificant”.

How is Trump involved?

It's a genuine question

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.

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

LaceApplique · 27/02/2025 15:13

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!

Tell me you know nothing about Andrew Tate (and his brother) without telling me you nothing about Andrew Tate.

I'd hate to think what you would consider to be significant. Hmm

I do not think this is likely. They are being flown out to fulfil roles.

This could be Trump's Waterloo though.

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”.

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 …

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 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.

SerenityNowSerenityNow · 27/02/2025 15:37

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

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.

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.
