There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

To young men around the world: Andrew Tate has never sold a real product in his life. He sells insecurity…at $49.99 a month. The cigar is a prop. The watch is a prop. The mansion is rented. YOU are the product.
