Donald Trump ya ba da labarai da yawa kuma ya musanta wasu da yawa game da alakar sa da Jeffrey Epstein. Amma waɗannan tambayoyin sun fi mayar da hankali kan ayyukan Epstein da laifuffukan da ya aikata, wanda Trump ya ce ya yi Allah wadai da su kuma bai shiga cikin su ba. Fadar White House ta yi iyakacin ƙoƙarinta—ta karkatar da gaskiya da ƙari—domin kare Trump daga abin da fayilolin Epstein za su iya bayyana game da shi. Duk da haka, babbar tambaya ita ce me Trump ke tunani game da dabi'un Epstein. Shin ya ƙi su, ko kuma yana goyon bayansu kuma ya rungume su? Duban alakar gwamnatinsa da Andrew Tate na iya ba da wasu alamu.
A cewar binciken Heidi Blake game da Tate a cikin New Yorker a farkon wannan watan, gwamnatin Trump ta shiga tsakani a bara don taimaka wa Andrew Tate da ɗan'uwansa Tristan su guje wa sakamakon tuhumar da ake musu a Romania. Blake ta kuma bayar da rahoton cewa, da'irar da ke kewaye da Tate da Trump sun haɗu a Mar-a-Lago.
Ba ita kaɗai ce ke binciken waɗannan alaƙa ba. Wani rahoton New York Times na Disamba da Megan Twohey da Isabella Kwai suka rubuta ya ambaci saƙon rubutu daga Tate, wanda jaridar ta duba, daga Janairu 2025: "Na ji labari daga gwamnatin Trump cewa suna kan abubuwa. An gaya mini cewa za a sake ni ba da daɗewa ba amma Trump yana buƙatar ganina a Miami." An bayar da rahoton cewa 'ya'yan Trump biyu, Don Jr. da Barron, sun zama abokan Andrew, ko da yake Fadar White House ta gaya wa Times cewa ba ta shiga cikin batun shari'ar Tates ba. Lauyan Tates ya kira binciken jaridar game da Andrew da Barron "labaran karya."
Ba shi da ma'ana a yi jayayya game da wane ya fi muni, Epstein ko Tate. Ƙiyayyar su ga mata ta nuna zamani daban-daban. Epstein ya zama kamar ya makale a shekarun 1980, yana sha'awar shiga cikin manyan mutane da kuma ɗaukar matasa mata daga shekarun samartaka zuwa farkon balaga da cin zarafinsu. Tate, a gefe guda, ya tashi ta hanyar injiniyoyi na ƙarni na 21 na manosphere, wanda ya fi danganta da intanet da manyan maza da ke tafiyar da shi. Amma dukansu suna bayyana namiji ta hanyar rage mutuncin mata da 'yan mata. Yayin da Tate ya taɓa kiran kansa mai ƙiyayya ga mata, ya gaya wa Blake cewa sunan sa a matsayin mai ƙiyayya ga mata "ba daidai ba ne."
Tsohon mayaƙin mixed-martial arts, Tate ya zama, a cikin kalmominsa, mai kawowa. Ya ɗauki mata ta hanyar shiga dangantaka da su, sannan a zarge shi da tilasta musu yin aikin jima'i ta hanyar webcam da kuma sarrafa su. Blake ta bayar da rahoton cewa a shekarar 2014, lokacin da ya fahimci cewa aikinsa na kickboxing yana da iyakacin damar kuɗi, ya ci gaba: "Batsa ta Webcam, wanda yanzu ya zama masana'antar biliyoyin daloli, sabon abu ne a lokacin, kuma Tate ya ɗauki kansa a matsayin majagaba," in ji ta. "Batsa" ba zai zama kalmar da ta dace ba—ma'aikacin webcam yana yin raye-raye ga abokan ciniki na nesa, kuma matsin lamba don biyan buƙatunsu yana ci gaba.
Blake ta bayyana yadda Tate ya yi amfani da farkon wanda ya ɗauka, yarinya mai shekaru 17, kuma "ya rinjaye ta ta yi tattoo na maciji a gefe ɗaya na jikinta da wani da ke karanta 'Tate Property' a saman al'aurarta … Andrew ya ce mata fiye da talatin suna da sunansa a jikinsu."
'Yan'uwan Tate sun bar Burtaniya "bayan wasu mata uku na Burtaniya sun zargi Andrew da fyade da shaƙewa," in ji Blake, kuma suka koma Romania. A can, sun yi aiki ba tare da sakamako ba kusan shekaru goma, suna gina daular webcam tare da mata da 'yan mata da suka ɗauka. A cewar saƙonnin da Andrew ya aika wa Times, wasu daga cikinsu sun zama kamar an kama su, ba za su iya barin ba, kuma an hukunta su ko kuma an yi musu barazana idan sun sami damar tserewa. A wani lokaci, mata 75 suna aiki a gare su.
Amma a lokacin da aka kama 'yan'uwan Tate a Romania, babban abin da Andrew ke samun kuɗi ba daga mata da ke yin ayyukan jima'i a kan webcam ba. Ya fito ne daga bidiyon kansa, wanda aka yi niyya ga ɗimbin masu sauraro na samari da matasa maza da yake koyarwa game da ƙiyayya ga mata, cin zarafi, da sarrafawa. Siffofin namiji na zane-zane. Lauyoyinsu na Amurka sun ce su biyun "sun ci gaba da nuna rashin laifi, suna jayayya cewa zargin da ake musu na bata suna ne kuma karya ne."
Babban dandalinsa shine Rumble, inda Peter Thiel da JD Vance suka kasance sababbin masu saka hannun jari. A cewar wata yarjejeniya ta sirri da Blake ta duba, Rumble ya biya shi da yawa yayin da yake buga darussan sa na cin zarafi. (Rumble ya yi Allah wadai da fataucin mutane da cin zarafin jima'i, yana mai cewa zargin da ake masa bai shafi abubuwan da ke kan dandalinsa ba.) BuzzFeed ta bayar da rahoton cewa daga 2018 zuwa 2022, ya ba da kwas a gidan yanar gizon sa mai suna "Pimpin' Hoes Degree." Ba da daɗewa ba bayan Trump ya koma Fadar White House, "a ƙarƙashin matsin lamba daga Amurka, Romania ta ɗaga haramcin tafiya na Tates," in ji New Yorker.
Yayin da Epstein ya ci zarafin waɗanda abin ya shafa kai tsaye, Tates sun fi tasiri, a cewar masu zarginsu, saboda sun koya wa wasu maza da yawa yadda ake cin zarafi, amfani, da rage mutuncin mata. Al'amarin Epstein bai ƙare ba. A cikin wani ɓangare na littafi mai zuwa, New York Times ta ba da rahoton tarurrukan dakin halin da ake ciki a watan Yulin da ya gabata, wanda aka ruwaito Vance ne ya jagoranta, don ƙoƙarin rufe bayanai game da Trump a cikin fayilolin Epstein. Ya haɗa da wannan layi: "Mataimakin shugaban ƙasa ya ce yana tunanin shugaban zai yarda da fitar da takardun da suka shafi nono, yana jayayya cewa an zargi Trump da mafi muni."
Yayin da Epstein ya ci zarafin waɗanda abin ya shafa kai tsaye, babban tasirin Tates, a cewar masu zarginsu, shine koya wa wasu maza da yawa yadda ake cin zarafi, amfani, da rage mutuncin mata. Amma, in ji Blake, sun kuma ci gaba da cin zarafin mata. Zargin fyade da shaƙewa ya bayyana a cikin labarin Blake, gami da tuhumar da wata mace Ba'amurke ta yi a bara cewa Andrew Tate ya buge ta kuma ya shaƙe ta, wanda ya musanta. Duk da haka, "ya sha yin kira ga shaƙewar mata yayin jima'i a matsayin hanyar tabbatar da ikon namiji," in ji rahoton New Yorker.
Akwai hanyoyi da yawa da Trump da abokansa suka nuna mana cewa haƙƙin ɗan adam da rayuwar ɗan adam ba su da wani mahimmanci a gare su.
