Here’s the part of the Barron Trump dating-advice story nobody wants to say out loud: the campaign did this on purpose. Trump handed his youngest son the job of pulling in young male voters, and the pipeline ran straight through Andrew Tate — a guy under human-trafficking charges in Romania and facing four women in a UK rape lawsuit this month. Tate’s move was to send Justin Waller, who calls himself the “third brother” to the Tates and teaches that a woman’s only born value is how she looks. That’s who got handed a White House family number. Not a tabloid footnote. A hire.
Waller’s actual pitch is “one-sided monogamy” — a man keeps several women, the woman keeps one man. That’s not an edgy podcast opinion you argue about over beers. It’s the worldview of the men he calls his brothers, the ones currently answering trafficking charges, and the people running the most powerful campaign on Earth looked at it and thought yes, perfect, get this in front of the youth vote. They didn’t get tricked into it. They went shopping for it.
I don’t care about a 20-year-old’s love life. I care that the men who got rich teaching boys to treat women as inventory earned a seat at the table because they tested well at the ballot box. That’s the whole con in one line: cruelty polled fine with the focus group, so they bought a case of it. The decent thing was always free and these guys still couldn’t afford it.
