The “leaked texts” in question are messages obtained and reviewed by The New York Times regarding their 2022 arrest in Romania.

“I had word from The Trump admin that theyre [sic] on top of things,” Andrew Tate wrote in a message to “someone close to him,” according to the Times. “Ive been told ill be free soon but Trump needs to see me in Miami.”

Mockler also noted Paul Ingrassia, who serves in the Trump administration as the general counsel of the General Services Administration, has represented the Tate brothers as their attorney.

“You may remember Paul Ingrassia from his leaked texts last year in which he said he has a ‘Nazi streak’ and uses old slurs,” Mockler wrote.

“[Vice President] JD Vance still follows the Tate brothers on Twitter. Barron is friends [with] them. All of this happened after Andrew admitted to being a pimp on camera. This is the Republican Party now. I’m a young dude who loves America, and hates seeing it hijacked by these hateful, abusive, degenerates.”

Finally! This is truly the thing that will cause the administration to come crashing down! 🙄

    Why are the trumps besties with the biggest POS? It's a mystery.

    "Look, Barron! Daddy found you your very own "Epstein"! Soon you'll have your own children to rape, just like Daddy did." - Trump, probably.

    Wow. I never thought about the job vacancy created when Epstein was arrested. It's not like the billionaire class stopped with the rape.

    Who's getting killed? I thought most were getting cabinet positions or government contracts.

    Maxwell was even moved to a nicer prison and given better treatment.

    I think OP is referring to that model agent in France who just died and had ties to Epstein.

    Brunel, Epstein's elderly business partner. The on paper owner of MC2 modeling.

    Yeah, he killed himself. That one doesn't even have some doubt. The French bastard had even talked his way out of awaiting trial in prison, but fucked up and got thrown back in, then killed himself rather than rot for the rest of his natural life.

    That was years ago.

    So long as the demand exists and there is enough money behind that demand, eventually someone will step up to fulfill it. Taking down the Epsteins of the world does little to alleviate the harm, so long as the rapists they enable don't end up in the ditch next to them.

    I know you are being sarcastic, but really it's probably that someone's gotta pick up where Epstein left off. I find it impossible to believe that all the Epstein class just stopped abusing children and magically weren't pedos anymore once Epstein got caught. There's probably been a new "Epstein" for years now it's just that we don't know who it is, just like how Epstein was completely under the radar (at least from the publics perspective) for half of his life. And probably one of the biggest reasons people are still trying to hide it. Because a lot of the people involved are probably still involved although with a different person.

    Edit: I also highly doubt that the Tate's are really even that high up in this sex trafficking operation. They're just recruiters.

    Okay all I'm getting from this is that Tate is trying to groom Barron trump - being a pimp, and given how he boasts about it here - it comes across as actual sexual grooming rather than the somewhat more acceptable political radicalisation grooming

    Do we know this? Since it seems like you're not being sarcastic or flippant, you need to provide sources for this. There's enough awful things they've done that have sources, that we don't need to start other shit. This was reported so I'm taking it down.

    Hard to get recent sources on the topic. Sure, I'm Barron Trump's black cherry, but I haven't seen him in over a decade. Not since that night his dad came into the room drunk and said he wanted to play a game. :/

    "Fake news, I've never talked to any of them, this is the first time I've heard of them."

    And poof it's all better for him. Tomorrow we're in the next news cycle and everyone is talking about the next fucked up thing.

    We've been doing this for a fucking decade now. He's been proven in court to be a rapist and felonious election fraudster and hasn't had any political consequences because of it. If you think doing Andrew Tate a favor is going to cause any real problems for him I've got a bridge to sell you in New York.

    He did lose to Biden, he paid Jean Carrol and he was impeached a bunch of times. He's also going to go down in history as the worst president the US has ever had. It's not equal to his crimes, but he has suffered some.

    The only thing you listed that actually impacts him is the $5 million payment. But that's nothing to him now.

    Losing to Biden hurt his pride, losing to carrol hurt his wallet and being thought of as the worst president hurts his pride. Why do you think he's trying to do the arch and the kennedy center? His time is closing down, he's trying to fix his legacy. I think you don't understand that those are the 2 things that matter most to him, his own form of pride and money.

    I think the only consequence he's actually suffered is having to pay his rape victim $5 million years after the verdict. And after all the grifting corruption that's just pocket change.

    So yeah, basically no consequences.

    Bingo.

    We live under the control of a fascist regime. Nothing is going to happen to them until they are removed from power.

    I'm not saying this shouldn't be reported, but the headline stating it looks bad for them means nothing. It doesn't look bad for them because it won't be bad for them.

    Trump's MAGA followers believe in inequality based on identity. This explains how they can claim (reactionary) morality and at the same time cheer when Trump does something beyond the pale and gets away with it. They WANT their leader to be not just above the law, but above morality.

    The "logic" is that if they live in a society that values their white identity above anybody else's, the leader makes this inequality very visible and definite. Every time we react shocked and salty they cheer. Being in the news with outrageous stuff every week is literally the strategy of Trump.

    That is why two decades of "this looks bad for Trump" are helping Trump. Liberals need to understand this mechanic. Although I'm not sure what to do with this. Basically words are of no more use, and action has to follow. No more discussion of Trump and his cronies.

    You can think of this as living under constant psychological abuse and terrorism. This is what our civilization has become. Part of the reason why this works is because we feed into it, and part is because it's profitable for the news and social media. Or for your karma farming.
