Andrew Tate and Candace Owens suggested on Thursday that former President Donald Trump had made "some kind of deal" with the deep state.

    Owens concluded by suggesting Elon Musk had succumbed to the same pressures: “I feel the same, and I’m wondering if you do as well, Elon Musk seems a little bit different too.”

    They’re turning on each other.

    Trump, Musk, and Andrew Tate are all the same greedy conmen they’ve always been. They’re just each at different stages of losing their battle against reality.

    Zero clicks on the video. Screw both of them.

    Also feels like Mediate is subtly spreading Candace Owens videos by embedding it instead of just a screenshot or a link to another page to get the info if desired

        I think it’s one thing to push liberal-leaning articles to liberals to give them what they want. (I’m a progressive but I know a circle-jerk when I see one). It’s something else when they are getting people to hate-watch toxic content from far-right content creators who are repeated bad-faith actors. If Richard Spencer had a YouTube channel, would they embed his videos as well? Sus AF.

    I’ll take ‘creeps I wouldn’t want to be in the same state with’ for $200, Alex.

      I couldn’t Imagine anything worse than having Tate as a cell mate. You’d have to listen to him talking 24/7 about how he’s a alpha male

      Nope. On trial here in Romania still, not allowed to leave the country but otherwise free as long as he keeps his court dates.

      As soon as the trial is over, he’s on a plane to London as the UK wants him back. God knows why.

      At least after the trial he won’t be allowed back in the EU as he won’t qualify for a visa.

    So Trump isn’t Trump enough now?

    2015/16 Trump was a celebrity personality that created a previously non-existent voting base from practically nothing. He parroted talking points that he heard from other seasoned politicians but I’m a way that his followers could celebrate regardless of if they actually understood.

    Once the GOP understood their need for him, he became their tool. He’s nothing more than a GOP mascot and will do the bidding of their wealthy donors. He is the deep state.

    His fans are still against all of that and need to believe that Trump is different. The snake is eating its tail.

    I don’t believe that the GOP has the votes necessary to ever win a presidential election without a new Trump and finding someone with that level of celebrity and ability to work a crowd would be difficult.

    I highly doubt Trump thinks he’s going to prison or is worried about going to prison, nor about Trump Tower being knocked down (I don’t even know where that’s coming from), and certainly not the fate of his children after his death. I just think he has too much ego to believe there will be consequences for his actions (he certainly doesn’t think he deserves consequences, especially with the recent BS immunity ruling from SCOTUS), and he’s too narcissistic to care about his actions affecting others.

    I’m not really sure what issues they think he’s gone soft on, pretty much his only policies the first time were “build the wall”, “drain the swamp”, and “lock her up”. In 2020 I don’t think the GOP even had a platform, it was just “Sleepy Joe” this and that. So are they mad he hasn’t come up with a catchy enough insult for Harris yet? Do they just want him to play the old hits from before and tacitly admit that he didn’t accomplish any of that when he held office before?

    He didn’t sell out, what changed is cognitive decline. He can’t even stay on topic long enough to get a 3 word catchphrase going again. Someone should really see if he can repeat “person woman man camera TV” immediately after they say it to him, without him going on a tangential rant.

    But Trump wants to put or already had his sympathizes in the top positions in the major administration, like the supreme court, CIA, FBI, … and make buddy buddy with the rich like Musk. Wouldn’t that make him the deep state?
