How should we feel about the return of Andrew and Tristan Tate?

Hey there,

 

Well, Relatagals and Relatabros, the Tate brothers are back. After two years stuck in Romania under a laundry list of stomach-churning allegations — human trafficking, rape, money laundering, organized crime — Andrew and Tristan Tate have landed on American soil again. They touched down in Florida late last month, after Romanian authorities mysteriously lifted their travel ban. And I’ve got questions — big ones.

 

Now, we don’t have the full picture of how much the Trump administration had to do with this, but the signs are pointing in one direction. Earlier last month, the “Financial Times” reported that Trump’s team was leaning on Romania to let these guys go — first in a phone call, then through Richard Grenell, Trump’s special envoy, who brought it up with Romania’s foreign minister at the Munich Security Conference. And, on March 3, Andrew Tate went on Patrick Bet-David’s podcast, calling Trump “a friend of mine” and hinting that his presidency greased the wheels for their return. As much as it pains me to say, it sure looks like Trump’s team is actively involved in alleviating the Tate’s legal woes.

 

Here’s where I’m scratching my head: Why? Why in the world would we burn any political capital on two men who’ve admitted to some of the vile things they’re accused of? I broke this down on “Relatable” before — Andrew Tate’s own words bragging about pimping women out, manipulating them for profit, even crossing lines that sound an awful lot like statutory rape. This isn’t speculation; it’s straight from the horse’s mouth. Episode 840, “A Biblical Response to Andrew Tate” — go listen if you missed it. These aren’t misunderstood heroes; they’re walking red flags.

 

And it’s not just me saying this clashes with Trump’s agenda. The administration’s been loud about deporting sex criminals, rounding up predators to protect our communities. So how does that square with pulling strings to bring the Tates back? It doesn’t. Unless the only thing that matters is their “Team Trump” loyalty — or maybe that some conservatives have a soft spot for their in-your-face rejection of woke nonsense.

 

I get it — the Tates call out real problems: the feminization of culture, the emasculation of men, the absurdity of progressive dogma. I can agree that some of their rants contain good points. But here’s the rub: Pointing out a problem doesn’t make you a solution. It’s like praising an arsonist for noticing the house is on fire.

 

Because let’s be real — emulating the Tates isn’t masculinity; it’s barbarism. These are serial pimps whose shift to Islam seems to have turbocharged their already radical misogyny. Andrew has said women are property to be controlled; Tristan’s right there with him. This isn’t a defense of biblical manhood — it’s a perversion of it. And yet some conservatives want to hoist them up as icons? That’s a mistake — a massive one.

 

I’m praying Donald Trump isn’t spending an ounce of his leverage to prop these guys up. If he is, it’s a head-scratcher that betrays the values he claims to stand for. We don’t need the Tates as mascots for the right. We need men who actually live out strength with integrity — not grifters who profit off chaos and call it courage. America deserves better.

Ask Allie

What do you do if one spouse wants more kids than the other?
If, for example, a wife wants a fourth child and her husband doesn’t, I think it’s wise for her to not push it by bringing up what she wants incessantly. It’s okay for her to share her desire with her husband, but she needs to take the issue to the Lord. She can pray that if God’s desire for the family is more children that He will change her husband’s heart, or if God’s desire is for no additional children that He will give her peace.
