Trump Vows To Save TikTok Talented Cybertruck Dances Live Stream With Adin Ross

Donald Trump spent part of Monday courting controversial YouTuber Adin Ross at Mar-a-Lago — at one point busting out his signature dance move during a live stream.

Cameras followed Trump and Ross, 23, around the former president’s Florida estate. There, Trump told viewers he would “keep TikTok” and smiled as he was presented with an expensive Rolex and a Tesla Cybertruck with a full MAGA vinyl wrap.

The heady afternoon also saw Ross introduce Trump to some of his gaming pals. Among them is Canadian streamer xQc, who wore a T-shirt with Trump smiling through his teeth.

In another scene, while sitting in a Cybertruck and listening to music with Ross, Trump shared his pleasure with Elon Musk on the live stream.

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

The Trump campaign has leaned hard to court Gen Z conservatives in recent months, including JD Vance appearing on a podcast with the Nelk Boys — a group of Canadian streamers who have become popular among American bros — last week. In that appearance, Vance admitted he told his son to “shut the hell up for 30 seconds about Pikachu” when he learned he was Trump’s running mate.

Trump himself recently appeared on a stream with professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau, 30, and joined a stream with YouTuber Logan Paul, 29, to talk sports the fight.

Ross is among the most prominent conservatives among Gen Z. He has 2.5 million followers on X, just under a million on YouTube and 1.34 million on Kick, where Monday’s visit to Mar-a-Lago was broadcast.

As controversial as he is popular, Ross first rose to fame on Twitch for playing NBA 2K online with Bronny James. He has since been permanently banned from the platform due to Ross’ repeated use of profanity on his channel.

Ross also raised eyebrows at Kick, where he once infamously streamed pornography during a live stream, even though he was known for having an audience that included underage teenagers.

New York Magazine reported that 450,000 people tuned in to Ross and Trump’s stream on Monday, with the former president at one point telling viewers to get out and vote Republican.

It’s unclear whether Trump really plans to keep his Cybertruck or gifted Rolex watch. Several people, including The Washington Post reporter Will Sommer, pointed out that both items far exceeded the FEC contribution limit of $3,300.
