Andrew Tate is a social media figure with a large audience, estimated in the millions. He is an experienced boxer and mixed martial arts fighter. His audience includes many disaffected men and Muslims. His messaging is misogynist and endorses violent death for nonbelievers. In other words, traditional Islam.
Recently, President Trump interceded on his behalf with Romanian authorities who were holding Tate and his brother, Tristan, on human/sex trafficking allegations. This has been an ongoing matter since 2022. Andrew Tate holds dual British and American citizenship. President Trump asked that restrictions against Andrew and Tristan Tate be lifted.
It’s unclear why our president would involve himself in a foreign civil matter involving a sovereign absent extraordinary circumstances. I certainly would not want a foreign government attempting to interfere with our legal system. Nevertheless, Romania yielded to the Trump administration’s demands, and Tate has been returned to the U.S. (although he is not in good odor in Florida).
To appreciate why Trump’s intercession is strange, it helps to understand just how unsavory Tate is. According to the Middle Eastern Media Research Institute, writing in 2022:
Controversial British-American online influencer Andrew Tate, who recently converted to Islam, said in a now-deleted viral TikTok video that “ISIS are the real Muslims.” The TikTok video was shared on October 25 by a pro-ISIS media outlet on Telegram, which praised Tate for his statements. Later, on October 29, Tate discussed his conversion and beliefs in an October 29 podcast with British Muslim podcaster Mohammad Hijab, saying that elites in Western cultures promote feminism so that women are forced to work outside the home while their children are indoctrinated through schools, the internet, and “the matrix.”

Quoting Andrew Tate ( from MEMRI ):
“Any Christian who believes in good and understands the true battle against evil must convert.
“So be patient, indeed the promise of Allah is TRUTH.”
MEMRI also shares Tate’s praise for ISIS in a since-deleted video from 2022 that he’d posted on his TikTok account:
“ISIS are the real Muslims because ISIS do exactly what the book says. Kill everyone who’s not a Muslim and chop people’s heads off and set them on fire and be fucking raging lunatics. But all the other Muslims go: ‘they’re not real Muslims because I read the book and ignore those parts.’ Well then, you’re not f**king Muslim, because you’re ignoring the f**king book.
Although Tate deleted the video, he has not walked back the sentiments.
saying that elites in Western cultures promote feminism so that women are forced to work outside the home while their children are indoctrinated through schools, the internet, and “the matrix.”...
A monster with one good message, if what this article says is true, is still a monster.
muslim women are hardly allowed to do ANYTHING!.
My wife can walk down the block with my best friend and I won’t want her executed!
Now when she burns the lasagna... :)
There is no evidence that President Trump himself interceded on the Tates’ behalf. In fact, he has denied knowledge of any such thing. The article is premised on Trump personally intervening on their behalf, which I think goes beyond the evidence and is dishonest, a hatchet job targeting the President based upon the Tates’ statements and the allegations against them.
“and Tate has been returned to the U.S.”
Misleading.
He has been seen allowed to go back home while awaiting trial.
And he's an American citizen.
Everything else is just noise.
Kind in mind, they went after Trump with lawfare.
The author acknowledges this. He said in the article:
“The simple answer is President Trump has no idea who Tate is. I believe this error in judgment is due to his relationship with Tucker Carlson, a relationship I hope he reexamines in the very near future.”
He then expresses his concerns about Tate’s influence on Tucker:
“Sadly, that’s true for Tucker Carlson, who has recently been exposed and recognized as someone who has serious and disturbing issues with Jews and Israel. His position on the Jewish community, and Israel is something that goes beyond mere isolationism. This is no longer a secret.”

This link is the most powerful condemnation of Tucker Carlson when you consider the source. Laurie Cardoza-Moore has an audience that reaches billions globally through “Focus on Israel.” While she affirms President Trump’s support for the Jewish state, she argues that Carlson should be nowhere near the White House after seeing him pictured with the President and Elon Musk,
Tate is a threat to leftists, simple as that
Interesting material here but the Tates seem to remind me that in Florida there once was a man named Jeffrey something or the other.
DeSantis is anti-Trump and Trump has pledged to spill the beans on that Jeffrey guy.
That’s the biggest problem with Andrew Tate, and it shouldn’t be ignored.
How do you Tate supporters respond to that?
Tate is a despicable piece of crap that Trump should have nothing whatsoever to do with. It is already disgraceful that Alina Habba flirted and praised this pimp, rapist and Muslim convert and Rick Grenell reportedly pressured Romania to release him. When his UK trial begins...ship him over there.
I saw Carlson interview Tate. As I remember it, Tate said he was Christian, unlike his younger brother who was Muslim. Tate said Romania was a devout Christian country. All this seemed to have resonated well with Carlson. I think it went beyond simply being polite to your guest.
If, indeed Tate is Muslim, then Carlson and some of his audience, were played.
Did anyone else here see that interview? What did you think?
Tucker’s SHOES!!!
The US and UK were always behind the judicial actions against the Tates in Romania. A person would be a fool to think any different. As to Tate being a Muslim. He may say he is but he doesn’t seem to be a faithful believer. I doubt he is in for the infidels dying because his bro isn’t Muslim.
He and his bro are more like actors. They are rascals and the women they hung around with were rascals too. I doubt they are traffickers and that is why court actions in Romania never went anywhere. They are supposed to go back but if nobody can prove they did anything this time then the constant legal harrassment is just that. Legal harrassment.
All this attention just increases their following and adds to their bank accounts.
Tate is another one that I know nothing about, are these videos representative of him?
“Footage of Andrew Tate performing “sex games” & beating a 14/15 year old girl “Vivian” in 2012 when he was 25. And of a still unknown girl running to safety as he goes to beat her with a belt.
*Andrew Tate is now charged with trafficking “Vivian” the girl in the first two videos as a minor. Her date of birth has been confirmed: Sept 1997.”

Trump denied any knowledge he had about Project 2025. But he knew.
So his denial here means the same thing. His people also know all about Tate.

Look at that quote in post 2. Not just leftists, but a threat to ALL people.
Should have left him to rot in Romania.

People arguing that Tate should be treated lawfully are not all supporters of any of his actions. If he has only been accused, and if he is not found guilty of anything, then it is wrong to threaten him and find a crime to charge him with just because you don’t like him. He has the right to free speech and there are Muslims all over America that we could charge with the same. Yet we don’t.
The either you agree with me or you are a supporter of_____, we have going anymore is pure leftist bullchit many are starting to use on our side.
