PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: On Monday, Donald Trump spent part of his day interacting with the controversial YouTuber Adin Ross at Mar-a-Lago, even showcasing his signature hand-pumping dance move during a live stream.

Cameras followed Trump and the 23-year-old Ross throughout the former president's Florida estate. Trump declared to the audience his plan to "maintain TikTok's operation" and smiled broadly when he was gifted an expensive Rolex and a Tesla Cybertruck wrapped in extensive MAGA vinyl.



 

Donald Trump expresses joy to live-stream audience

During the lively afternoon, Adin Ross introduced Trump to several of his gaming friends, including Canadian streamer xQc, who was wearing a T-shirt featuring Trump with a grin and grills on his teeth.



 

In another segment, Trump shared his enthusiasm with the live-stream audience while seated in a Cybertruck, enjoying music with Ross and acknowledging Elon Musk.

“Elon, you’re great,” he said. “I don’t know if you’re seeing this, but you’re really good.”



 

In recent months, Trump's campaign has aggressively sought the support of Gen Z conservatives. This effort included JD Vance appearing on a podcast hosted by the Nelk Boys, a group of Canadian streamers who have become popular among American fraternities.

During this appearance, Vance controversially revealed that he had told his son to “shut the hell up for 30 seconds about Pikachu” upon learning he was selected as Trump’s vice-presidential running mate.

Trump recently joined a stream with the 30-year-old professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau and also appeared on a stream with the 29-year-old YouTuber Logan Paul to discuss combat sports.

Adin Ross’ livestream with Trump draws massive viewership

Adin Ross is a prominent Gen Z conservative, boasting 2.5 million followers on X, nearly a million on YouTube, and 1.34 million on Kick. His visit to Mar-a-Lago was broadcast live on Monday, August 5.

Ross, known for his controversy as much as his popularity first gained fame on Twitch by playing NBA 2K online with Bronny James. He has since been permanently banned from the platform, reportedly due to his repeated use of slurs on his channel.

The YouTuber has faced criticism for live streaming pornography on Kick, despite the platform’s reputation for attracting a young audience under the age of majority.

The New York Magazine reported that up to 450,000 people watched Ross and Trump's stream on Monday, during which the former president urged viewers to go out and vote for the Republican party.

The uncertainty remains over whether Trump plans to keep the Cybertruck and Rolex watch he received as gifts. Several sources, including The Washington Post's Will Sommer, have pointed out that the value of both items far exceeds the FEC's contribution limit of $3,300.
