8. 'Andrew Tate claims he is 'very close' with Barron Trump after arriving in the US'
Thu Apr 10, 2025, 09:20 AM
Apr 2025

"'I’m very close with the Trump family. I know them well,' the self-described misogynist influencer said via a clip posted to X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter. 'I spoke to Barron after the incident [In Butler]. I look forward to once I'm free being with Donald Trump in person and reminding him that he’s a bulletproof badass.'"

"Tate's comment about being close to the Trumps comes days after he tweeted, 'The Tates will be free, Trump is the president. The good old days are back.' It also comes amid speculation that the Trump administration had quietly pressured Romania authorities to release the brothers."

"Sources close to the situation told the Financial Times that the Tate's were first brought up by US officials in a phone call with the Romanian government last week and then were followed up by Richard Grenell when he met the Romanian foreign minister at the Munich Security Conference. A fourth person told the outlet that a request was made to return the brothers’ passports and allow them to travel while they wait for court proceedings to conclude."

Now that "Trump the bulletproof badass" is getting on in years, Andrew will be tutoring Barron in the manly art of rape.
