    I’m legitimately confused as to what will happen here. Seemingly, Trump is the one that got them out of Romania, yet Trump’s allies are attacking them. You would expect Trump to ensure his team is consistent with whether this are “bad people” or not.

    I’m hoping they still get tried for any crimes they committed.

      Opens criminal investigation. Does “investigation”, finds no fault. Blasts out the Tates have done no wrong, Romania bad. Suggests Papa Putin take over and reform Romania.

      Florida State politicians have made a big show of being “anti-sex traffickers” and paraded in front of their constituents to say how seriously they take it. The Tates - a pair of brown skinned scary religioned hedonists - publicly flying straight into Florida on a Get Out Of Rape Free card, smears that entire pastiche.

      The state AG needs to loudly declare “We’re against this!” while it’s in the news. Whether they’ll actually do anything or simply throw up their hands and blame Woke is another question entirely.

      Conservatives are quite split on the tates. Christians generally hate him for his sez trafficking, promotion of unhealthy and bad family values and blasphemy, while the more nazi type like him because he is against woke

          True. He kept tweeting stuff about Jesus and said he went to Church at Christmas which pisses of Christians because they know he’s doing it for clout now and pisses of Muslims because a good Muslim shouldn’t be doing that.

          He can’t be seen to leave islam or they will be out for his head, and he would need to have true repentance and change of lifestyle for the Christians to accept him
