Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate are the worst of the toxic-bro culture that dominates the internet, and the Tates are all about being as violent, toxic and abusive to girls and women as possible. While they are dual British-American citizens, they operated for years in Romania, trafficking in girls and women. They were finally arrested and charged with trafficking and rape in that country and they will likely stand trial soon enough. But that didn’t stop the Trump administration from pulling strings with the Romanian government to bring the Tate brothers “back” to America. They arrived in Florida on Thursday – photos of their arrival are in this post.
Controversial influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate, who both face charges in Romania, including human trafficking and sexual intercourse with a minor, arrived in the United States on Thursday after a travel ban on them was lifted, according to their spokesperson and Romanian prosecutors.
A spokesperson for the brothers, Mateea Petrescu, said the two landed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, around midday, The Associated Press reported. After landing, Andrew Tate said that “my brother and I are largely misunderstood. There’s a lot of opinions about us that go around on the internet. We’ve yet to be convicted of any crime in our lives ever. We have no criminal record anywhere on the planet,” he said in a statement.
Ahead of their arrival, Joseph McBride, the Tate brothers’ U.S.-based attorney, told NBC News on Thursday morning, he would not comment on whether the State Department or the White House was involved in lifting the travel ban. A Trump official also declined to comment on the Tate brothers’ arrival in the United States. The State Department also declined to comment.
McBride said the Tate brothers plan to return to Romania at the end of March to meet with prosecutors. They will then come back to the United States, he said.
When asked about the Tate brothers entering the state, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said it was under the federal government’s jurisdiction “whether they want to rebuff his entry into the United States.”
Matthew Jury, a lawyer for those in the U.K. who have accused the Tate brothers of misconduct, told Reuters the alleged victims were “disgusted, dismayed, distraught” upon learning the brothers had entered the U.S.
“They don’t understand how this could happen,” Jury told the publication. “Why would the so-called most powerful man in the world intervene on the behalf of one of the world’s worst and most prolific alleged sex traffickers and rapists?”
“Why would the so-called most powerful man in the world intervene on the behalf of one of the world’s worst and most prolific alleged sex traffickers and rapists?” Gee, I wonder. It’s almost as if Donald Trump and his administration have no problem with human trafficking, rape, abuse and violent misogyny. It’s almost as if Trump and the Tate brothers are in total agreement about how women and girls should be treated. One thing that surprised me is that Ron DeSantis (governor of Florida) genuinely seemed aggrieved that the Tates flew to Florida. The Florida state AG might get involved.
After the Trump Admin lobbies to get the alleged sex trafficking Tate brothers’ travel restrictions lifted to come to FL, Desantis is mad and says nobody notified him and his AG is looking at their legal options.

Ok so let’s see. He is deporting people from Mexico and south America because they are dangerous rapists and criminals but these two convicted human sex traffickers from another country are allowed to come to the states. My god we are all doomed with this f**king idiot.
So he doesn’t like criminals and rapists from other countries – only those with American citizen ship??
This is so sickening.
Clearly this administration is stating that women and minorities have no rights. It’s your fault if you are the victim.
It’s not so much the citizenship, it’s that the Tate brothers gave Trump a lot of money. That’s it. That’s all he cares about.
Sounds like maybe they bought Trump’s “gold card” to citizenship.
Why was 5heir travel ban lifted? Romania shouldn’t have let them leave the country.
My theory is the U.S. told Romania they won’t protect them when Russia comes in to take over unless they release these traffickers who should never see the light of day outside of a prison for the rest of their lives.
Andrew Tate is truly pure evil. I’ve seen video of him speaking. I’m not throwing the word evil around lightly. It’s chilling – there is no good in him. Like, Charles Manson level evil.
You know when Ron DeSantis is the voice of reason things are truly dire.
The mean part of me can’t help but wonder if he’s more concerned about competition in the human trafficking field. DeSantis supported Gaetz, right?
Might the bros have some kind of Epstein-adjacent receipts on Trump?
IDK but does it even matter anymore? Can anyone come up with something worse than everything we know and see with our own eyes?
I understand the there is a Trump-esque politician in Romania who is now going to be facing prosecution. I don’t quite understand what the trade made was, but that’s what I’ve been reading.
nah. Trump ADMIRES them. guys who literally “grab ’em by the p-word”, flaunt their wealth, etc. they are Trumps kind of people. meanwhile, someone like Harry is subjected to endless harassment from “conservatives” for exactly what reason?
YES. Thank you, Kaiser–I was hoping you guys would cover this.
Of course that lying piece of orange shit is denying he had anything to do with this—even he knows how insanely unpopular this is. But the fact is that he successfully orchestrated the ability of these two sex-traffickers to come to our country while actively deporting good, hard working people who have never committed a crime is an optic that won’t play well even with his own demented base. Trump is SELLING $5M “gold cards” to assist in importing Russian oligarchs to the US even while he deports our workforce. I know that in the grand scheme of every hellish thing that’s happening to us right now, the Tate assholes are low on the list but honestly WHY DO THIS?? What the fuck can these two rapists do for him, personally or professionally?? And yes they’ve flattered his ego many times but so have many and not received this kind of treatment. Hell, Eric Adams repeatedly fluffed Trump’s balls and Trump just dangled the carrot in a quid pro quo–never actually giving Adams the pardon he so desperately wanted.
All I can think is that this is Trump showing us that he is the mob boss, the KING, that he can exercise his power in the most unscrupulous ways and avoid any public backlash or accountability. This is him testing the limits of his power. And of course, they’re rapists like he is so they can undoubtedly relate to each other on that level but STILL. This needs to be bookmarked and thrown in the fact of every Pizzagate loser. This is what you immoral assholes voted for.
I am sure they are in line for a cabinet position.
Funny, but not funny.
Came here to say the exact same thing. Trump will probably make him head of the Office of Global Women’s Issues.
@Kaiser – I wish you’d posted the blue sky (maybe it was a tweet) of Andrew Tate sitting in a pair of swimming trunks and someone replying something like “drag queens will write dissertations on this tuck.” I’m not doing the shade remotely the justice it deserves and I’m missing one entire joke.
It’s so good …

On the one hand, I feel desperately sorry for all the Americans who voted for Harris.
On the other, with the US being this hostile, I have started to minimize buying from the bigger American companies. Disney plus cancelled as well with their U-turn on DEI.
I’d like to still support smaller (non-crazy) American companies and individuals. Any tips are welcome.
I hate this fucking country. Or more accurately, I hate what it has become. I hate how this relentless barrage of racist, misogynistic bullshit is turning me into a bitter, angry person who wishes awful things on the inhuman pieces of shit in power, and every last one of the millions who voted for them.
Trump doing another outrageous thing to gain attention and to deflect from the other even more damage ( cruelty, destruction) he is doing.
Yep this is a Master Class on Evil
and.. how we can hold to our own decency and compassion regardless
Be steadfast
The MAGATs are screaming for Harry’s papers, they want him deported, they say and write all kinds of unhinged, mean, racist things about the Sussexes.
As to these disgusting, disgraceful villains? Silence, nothing, just pretending this doesn’t exist, that they didn’t sexually assault women.
I am sick with revulsion.
Oh I’m sure they know they sexually assaulted women. They just don’t care.
DeSantis is trying to get his wife elected as the next Governor of Florida. Just like Trump he doesn’t care about any crimes someone committed. He only cares about how people can hurt or help his image and power.
GTH them and their stupid beards and tight clothes. These bros have got to go.
Well, somebody has to take Epstein’s place. Guess it’s the Tate bros.
Is he carrying a purse
Jesus.
The sad fact is that these guys are influential with very young men and teenage boys. Trump may think he can benefit from Tate Bros support. Grooming the next batch of alt-right dicks.
That’s all I got.
