JUST IN — Trump administration pressuring Romanian Government to lift restrictions on Tristian and Andrew Tate. 🇷🇴 🇺🇸 

That should tell you (just about) everything you need to know what kind of "man" Donald Trump is, as well Elon Musk by extension, they're all from the same lane. 

The move to pressure for Tate's release is to empower and legitimize further their ideological movement, and that basically criminals can be in charge.

LOL the bully is trying to re-write history.

I mean it's just comical that all these world leaders are taking him seriously as some legitimate "president", who has the IQ of a toddler combined with a sociopath. Every world leader needs to do a deep study on "malignant narcissism" to understand what the hell is going on. 

I think Trump especially didn't like Justin Trudeau because Trudeau was probably one of the first world leaders to detect/know what the hell is going on while dealing with him in a diplomatic way.

the andrew tate thing was interesting. i think that's part of their purpose to weaken the left. if voices like tate run around, it makes it harder for the  left to fight back and gets the alt-right a stronger voice

He's trying to ally with whomever he can that is ideologically similar to him - like Putin and Tate.

It's very clear to me that he intends to form some kind of military alliance with Russia, Trump wants to be like Putin and take over other countries as he pleases. This is really dangerous the path he is on.

Trump is hardly even "American" at this point, he is really just another power-hungry man who is taking advantage of a bad economic situation in the US as not only a "false messiah" but also a sellout. 

US citizens (as well as non-US citizens) are not alerted to this quickly enough because they are still half-asleep and trying to rationalize that this was a legitimate presidential candidate. But they have effectively elected an equivalent of "Putin and Xi in-the-making" into the Whitehouse.

There are also too many corrupt leaders within the US both in terms of those who hold political office, as well as CEOs, techno-oligarchs. There is a normalization of lack of ethics and integrity that is clear to me, and this basically means there will be a weak "counter reaction" internally to Trump.

It's bizarre that after all these years of fighting Russia and allying with western Europe, Trump is flipping that.

Europe is woke. Europe is DEI. Europe is democracy. Europe is the deep state.

It's a spiral dynamics mismatch.

Europe has nothing to do with the deep state

"Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt rejected the idea of having schools collect children’s immigration status."

“Collecting 6-, 7-, 8-year-old kids’ addresses and immigration status in the state of Oklahoma, that’s not a public safety"

It does in the sense that Europeans also have a bureaucratic administrative state.

Right-wing groups will likely use this same line of attack, seeing how it was effective in the US.

I was wondering why the USPS was so important to Trump. Why would Trump want full control over the USPS? Originally I just figured he might have made a deal with shipping company elites and wants to axe it for them but now I'm wondering if the point is to suppress mail-in votes in 2028.

Yeah, maybe. I need to learn more about politics. I just always assume Trump doesn't give a fuck about Republican's agenda but I suppose he has to give in order to get... so that makes sense.
