Donald Trump just can’t stay out of the limelight, can he? The former president, who’s never been one to shy away from the cameras, spent his Monday hobnobbing with controversial YouTuber Adin Ross at Mar-a-Lago. Now, if you’re wondering what the 77-year-old ex-president and a 23-year-old streamer could possibly have in common, buckle up. This wasn’t your typical presidential meet-and-greet.
Adin Ross, who’s known for his questionable choice of words, brought his Gen Z flair to the hallowed halls of Trump’s Florida estate. With cameras rolling, Trump and Ross took viewers on a wild ride, complete with hand-pumping dance moves and a stream of colorful characters. It’s not every day you see a former president getting down in a live stream, but hey, it’s 2024, and anything goes.
Donald Trump Makes A TikTok Promise
The most eyebrow-raising moment at the recent meet? Donald Trump promising to “keep TikTok going.” You heard that right. While sitting in a Cybertruck and jamming out to some tunes with Ross, he declared his support for the beloved yet controversial app. “Elon, you’re great,” he quipped, seemingly giving a nod to Elon Musk’s ongoing drama with social media giants. “I don’t know if you’re seeing this, but you’re really good.”
As if the Cybertruck wasn’t enough, Trump was also gifted a flashy Rolex and a Tesla Cybertruck wrapped in full MAGA regalia. Cameras caught every moment, from Ross introducing his gaming buddies—like the Canadian streamer xQc, who sported a shirt featuring Trump with grills—to Trump’s cozy chats about his admiration for Elon Musk.

Donald Trump Is Campaigning For Gen Z Votes
Former POTUS Donald Trump’s recent escapades aren’t just limited to his time with Ross. His campaign is going full throttle to woo Gen Z conservatives. Last week, J.D. Vance popped up on a podcast with the Nelk Boys, who are practically frat house royalty. In a hilariously candid moment, Vance told his son to “shut the hell up for 30 seconds about Pikachu” upon learning he’d be Trump’s VP running mate.
The former president has also rubbed elbows with professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau and YouTube sensation Logan Paul in recent streams. Trump clearly knows his audience and is pulling out all the stops to connect with younger voters.
Ross, with his 2.5 million followers on X, nearly a million on YouTube, and 1.34 million on Kick, is no stranger to controversy. Initially rising to fame on Twitch for playing NBA 2K with Bronny James, Ross has since been permanently banned from the platform. The reason? His repeated use of slurs.
While it’s still uncertain whether Trump will keep his new Cybertruck and Rolex, given that both gifts exceed the $3,300 FEC contribution limit, one thing is clear: Trump’s latest foray into the digital world is as unpredictable as ever. Whether you love him or loathe him, you’ve got to admit, Trump sure knows how to keep things interesting.
