Tate, who has more than 10 million followers on X, has repeatedly praised Trump and urged his American followers to vote for him ahead of the 2024 election, posting such praises as “All Trump does is win” and stating those who oppose him should be “expelled from the country.”

Tate, a self-avowed misogynist, has used sexist language to prop up Trump, in one post stating his election victory kept “evil war mongering she witches out of office” and in other posts used homophobic slurs and offensive language to refer to supporters of former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Members of Trump’s inner circle have also voiced support for Tate, including Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., who called Tate’s detention in Romania “absolute insanity,” and billionaire Elon Musk, who last month replied to a post on X about Tate voicing his intent to run for United Kingdom prime minister, praising Tate’s assessment of U.K. politics as “not wrong.”
