There has long been a rather disturbing connection between Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron Trump, and the ever-scandal-plagued, disgusting duo, the Tate brothers.

Now, one Democratic analyst is floating a theory about why that relationship never seems to falter, despite what the Tate brothers stand accused of; that is deeply unsettling, but it certainly makes a whole lot of sense.

Both Andrew and Tristan Tate, two red-pill MAGA "influencer" brothers, have been arrested on some of the most heinous and horrific sex-trafficking charges and remain in a federal detention center in Miami, Florida, where they are awaiting and attempting to fight against their extradition to the United Kingdom. The pair faces 59 total charges related to rape and human trafficking.

But despite the truly horrifying nature of their alleged crimes, it seems that neither of the Tate brothers has any qualms with invoking Barron Trump's name -- and analyst Mike Nellis believes there's a reason for that.

In his YouTube segment, Nellis aired a 2-year-old clip of manosphere influencer Andrew Tate outside of a Romanian courtroom, where he and his brother continue to face criminal investigations for alleged organized crime, human trafficking, trafficking of minors, money laundering, and inciting hatred against women. In that clip, Andrew Tate brazenly invokes not just the youngest Trump child, but the Trump family as a whole:

I'm very close to the Trump family; I know them well. I spoke to Barron after the incident, and I look forward to, once I am free, being with Donald Trump in person and reminding him that he's a bulletproof badass.

Now that the brothers have been arrested yet again and face a world of trouble, Nellis noted that a rather flattering piece about Barron Trump's "reclusive" lifestyle was dropped by the New York Post. He believes that the timing of the piece draws a connection between the youngest First Son and the red pill brothers.

Nellis first cited recent reporting that revealed Andrew Tate was selling classes to his manosphere followers, teaching them how to infiltrate wealthy social circles and then use what they learned to blackmail them.

"This is how the Tate brothers were able to become so influential in the Trump family and in the Trump administration because they probably started small," Nellis theorized. "They found all of these losers that Donald Trump and his people have been surrounding themselves with [and] they corrupted somebody here."

He goes on to openly suggest that the Tates' blackmail scheme has successfully infected even the highest echelons of Donald Trump's presidential administration.

They made it all the way to Donald Trump, Barron Trump, and Don Jr.," the analyst said in his YouTube show. "... Now, they're being manipulated by the Tate brothers. We know that Andrew and Tristan Tate have bragged about giving dating advice to Barron Trump. They've talked about how many times they talked to them on the phone. We know that Don Jr. is a fan of the Tate Brothers. They've talked about it. People like Alina Habba inside the Trump administration have said they're fans of the Tate brothers. This is how they got them."

"Maybe they don't have dirt on Barron," Nellis said. "Maybe they don't have dirt on Donald, but they certainly have dirt on other people inside this administration."

Whether or not this is truly the driving force behind Barron's disturbing friendship with the Tates, we will likely never know for sure. That's certainly not something that anyone will ever willingly admit to. But it is undeniably disturbing to know that the president's son maintains a deep-seated, devoted relationship with two men who not only stand accused of some of the world's most heinous sex crimes but also pointedly sell classes on how to blackmail rich people.
