Trump offered Cybertruck, Rolex as gifts during appearance on Adin Ross's livestream
Former president Donald Trump appeared as a guest on video game streamer Adin Ross's livestream where the Republican presidential nominee was offered a Rolex watch and a Cybertruck wrapped in a photo taken of him during the July 13 assassination attempt on his life as gifts.
“Today is going to be the most important stream I’ve ever done," Ross, 23, said. "We're going to get some good ratings. Everyone thought this was going to be fake today, we proved them wrong."
The 22-minute interview, broadcast on the gaming and livestreaming platform, Kick, took place in the living room of the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump is heard saying.
"I don't allow this to be ever done, but you're the first, just about," the 78-year-old said about allowing Ross into the Mar-a-Lago's living room. "We'll have a little fun today."
Trump called his 18-year-old son Baron a "big fan" of Ross's content.
"You're a true hero for this country and I really appreciate you," Ross said about Trump. "I'm really thrilled we can do this today."
'We don't have the American dream'
During the interview, Trump called livestreaming the "new wave" and told Ross's younger viewers that voting come November is "about the American dream."
"Right now we don't have the American dream," Trump said. "We have a country that's not respected, a country that's being laughed at, and a country that just a little while ago, we're having a stock market explosion in a negative way."
Trump is referring to the S&P 500 and the Dow seeing their biggest drops since September 2022 on Monday after global markets plunged.
"We're going to make this country so strong and so great," Trump said about his administration. "You'll love your life and you'll be successful."
Trump also mocked President Joe Biden, saying their debate on CNN in June "didn't go so well" and that he "took out" the 81-year-old who dropped out of the 2024 presidential race last month. He then said Vice President Kamala Harris, who is campaigning against Trump, is "actually worse" than Biden.
"She's ultra-left (and) ultra-radical," Trump said about Harris. "We can't allow her to be president, she's going to destroy our country."
'Wow. That’s an Elon'
After speaking to Trump about the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, and his policies, including about the U.S.-Mexico border, the former president shook hands and took pictures with fans who were wearing "Make America Great Again" hats and holding red political signs in support of his and VP nominee JD Vance's campaign.
Ross, who appeared to have gifted Trump a Rolex in the middle of the interview, is seen toward the end of the livestream walking out of the Mar-a-Lago Club with the former president who notices a Cybertruck in front of him.
“Wow. That’s an Elon,” Trump said, referencing Tesla CEO Elon Musk. “That is beautiful.”
When Ross points out the wrap covering the car, which shows Trump raising his fist in the air during the assassination attempt on his life, the former president says, "I think it’s incredible."
Trump also accused Google of manipulating the picture seen on the vehicle by altering the Secret Service agents' expressions as they surrounded him.
"They put smiles on their faces," Trump said about Google. "It's just terrible. It's a little bit scary."
The livestream ended with Ross and Trump doing a "victory dance" to "Y.M.C.A." by the Village People. Trump claimed he is "going to keep TikTok going."
