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.”

    Stop with the nonsense headlines. Nothing here looks bad for Trump in terms of any impact to him.

      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.

        Bad to who? It’s only bad to the people who already hate trump. To people who don’t care about trump this wont move the needle, and to people who like trump this might actually make them like him more
