Tristan Tate says ‘the dream of the west is dying’ in first interview | UK | News
Tristan Tate, a self-proclaimed misogynist, says that “the dream of the West is dying” in his first interview since being released from house arrest in Romania.
Tate sat down with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson on August 6 for his first interview since being released from house arrest, where he lambasted the state of affairs in urban hubs like New York City.
“New York, back in the 70s, 80s, California – probably the best places in the world to live. Quite literally,” he said.
“Now you have a billionaire living in New York, or a multi-millionaire living in New York, he’s older, he’s retired. But what – he can’t walk the streets at all? He has to stay in his apartment? He needs bodyguards to go to the store, the supermarket. He’s like: why not Dubai?”
Tristan Tate, who is the youngest of the three Tate brothers, also went on to sing the praises of the Middle East for taking a tough stance on crime, while also claiming he felt “unsafe” in the United States.
“I can drive my $5million car around the Middle East, with my $2million watch on,” he said.
“I can go to various cafes, bars, have a few drinks, leave the car there, walk home. Leave the car unlocked.
“No one steals. Because they deal with crime and immorality in a very serious way.
“I go to the US and feel unsafe,” he continued. “I feel unsafe walking around the streets. I see the pandemic of homelessness and drug use.
“How is this the capital of the free world? I look at the leadership and it makes me sick, on every level.
“So yeah, the Middle East is the place to be for now.
“Maybe one day, in 20 years time, the United States will be the place to be again.”
Tristan Tate, who was freed on judicial review on August 4, claimed that his house arrest cost him more than $50million in lost income, but he declined to elaborate on what that lost income entailed.
Though he is now free to leave his home in Romania, officials have made clear that he is not allowed to leave the country.
And his final thoughts on the state of affairs in the United States seemed to give an implicit endorsement to former president Donald Trump, who is gearing up to launch his presidential campaign for the 2024 election in the United States.
“To use a famous slogan, I really hope somebody can make America great again,” he said.
“But even I haven’t liked the US in a long time.”
