Overview

The Adin Ross Donald Trump Stream refers to former U.S. President Donald Trump's appearance on an Adin Ross Kick livestream in early August 2024. The stream happened on August 5th, 2024, and included fellow streamer xQc. At one point in the stream, Ross gifted Trump a Tesla Cybertruck that had Trump's post-assassination attempt Raised Fist Photograph printed on it. The two entered the truck and listened to music before doing Trump's dance outside. The stream caused mass discourse, reactions and criticism on social media platforms like Twitter / X, TikTok and Reddit (among other sites). A report later came in that Trump's son Barron Trump advised his dad to stream with Ross, leading to more memes and viral posts. Also, fellow streamer Hasan Piker and others questioned if Ross had technically bribed Trump and broken Federal law by gifting him the Cybertruck and a watch.
