Disturbing new theory floated as Barron Trump can't shake the Tate brothers
A Democratic analyst floated a disturbing new theory on Sunday about why President Donald Trump's youngest son seemingly can't ignore the legal plight of two MAGA influencers.
Andrew and Tristan Tate, MAGA influencers who have been arrested on sex trafficking charges, have repeatedly mentioned Barron Trump by name while speaking with the media. In turn, a flattering story about the youngest Trump appeared in the New York Post recently about the "reclusive" lifestyle he's taken on during his father's second administration.
The timing raised red flags for Mike Nellis, a Democratic analyst, who argued on a new podcast episode that the Post's story revealed something strange happening between Barron Trump and the Tate brothers.
Nellis pointed to recent reporting that found Andrew Tate sold classes that taught students how to infiltrate wealthy social circles and blackmail them.
"This is how the Tate brothers were able to become so influential in the Trump family and in the Trump administration because they probably started small," Nellis said. "They found all of these losers that Donald Trump and his people have been surrounding themselves with [and] they corrupted somebody here."
Nellis suggested the scheme reached the highest echelons of the Trump administration.
"They made it all the way to Donald Trump, Barron Trump, and Don Jr.," Nellis said. " ... Now, they're being manipulated by the Tate brothers. We know that Andrew and Tristan Tate have bragged about giving dating advice to Barron Trump. They've talked about how many times they talked to them on the phone. We know that Don Jr. is a fan of the Tate Brothers. They've talked about it. People like Alina Habba inside the Trump administration have said they're fans of the Tate brothers. This is how they got them."
"Maybe they don't have dirt on Barron. Maybe they don't have dirt on Donald, but they certainly have dirt on other people inside this administration," he said.
