BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Controversial commentators Andrew Tate and Candace Owens propagated a new conspiracy theory on Thursday, August 15, suggesting that former president Donald Trump has struck "some kind of deal" with the deep state to avoid imprisonment in exchange for concessions on certain policies.

On her show 'Candace', Owens articulated her discontent with Trump's acceptance of funds and his moderate stance on certain matters, as per Mediaite.

Candace Owens and Andrew Tate suggest Donald Trump has changed since 2015

Candace Owens said to Andrew Tate, "It doesn’t feel to me like the same Trump from 2015. And obviously he’s the better candidate, I want Trump to win as well, but it does seem that now he’s accepted money that he can’t be as hardcore about certain topics and certain issues as he was back in 2015 when there was no chance he was gonna win."

She went on to say, “Now it feels like, I don’t know, like they’ve kind of– I don’t wanna say buck-broken him, but there’s definitely a lot of consultants around.”

Tate responded saying, "I’m a fan of Trump. Obviously I hope he wins. My view on it, if I had to guess, and of course I have no data to back this up, I’ve just been around."

He added, "Trump ran with a scorched earth policy and got into power, and they tried the whole RussiaGate garbage, and I think Trump actually in many ways was very soft in his first administration and he believed to a degree he could reason with these savages."

"I think there was part of his mind that said, “You know what, I’m really gonna get back into administration and teach these guys a lesson,” and then I think something happened," he went on to say.

Tate remarked, "Someone came along at some point and I think perhaps that deal was done, they said, 'You won’t go to jail, Trump Tower will stay standing, your kids will be safe in America, everything’s gonna be okay, but you’re gonna have to bend on these few things'."

Tate added, “Napoleon said it, ‘Fatigue makes cowards of us all,’ and he’s certainly no coward, but it’s amazing how daily war can grind you down,” before adding, "I’m still praying for a Trump victory."



 

"I still think he’s gonna be the best president. I still think he’s gonna do his very best. I just feel like somewhere along the line, something has been agreed to to prevent post-presidency or post-death for his empire and for his children."

Tate concluded, "There seems to be some kind of deal somewhere… I don’t know exactly what the deal is. I’m not even gonna say that I blame the guy for taking it. But some kind of agreement’s been made."

Owens ended by implying that Elon Musk had also yielded to similar pressures, “I feel the same, and I’m wondering if you do as well, Elon Musk seems a little bit different too.”

A person added, "Yes I also suspected this."



 

Other chimed in, "He’s spot on, we all feel it."
