DONALD Trump revealed which member of his family convinced him to take part in the wide-ranging interview with streamer Adin Ross.
Trump appeared on 23-year-old Kick’s live stream on Monday, in which he was given a Rolex watch and a Tesla Cybertruck wrapped in the iconic “fist” image from last month’s assassination attempt.
The shocking interview with the controversial streamer came amid a series of appearances as the former president began campaigning ahead of the November elections.
As part of the interview at Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, the Republican presidential candidate revealed details about his son Barron and why he decided to give Ross the interview.
“My son Barron said hello,” Trump told the streamer about his youngest son.
“He’s a great young man, but he’s a big fan of yours,” the former president said in front of a small live audience of his supporters.
“My son told me about you,” Trump told the streamer who wore a MAGA hat and a red tie with a white shirt, mimicking Trump’s iconic look.
“He said, ‘Dad, he’s really big.’”
In addition to the influence of his 18-year-old son, Trump chose to participate in the live broadcast for another important reason.
“I love having a young audience… it’s about the American dream,” Trump said.
“Right now, we don’t have the American dream,” he said of the younger generation.
During the bizarre interview in which the pair ended up performing Trump’s dance move, featuring two clenched fists and a hip swivel, Trump said the streamer could one day find himself in the White House.
“I don’t know about that, I’ll leave that to Barron, maybe one day,” Ross replied.
The 23-year-old is popular for his live streams of video games like NBA 2K and Grand Theft Auto V.
He has also done several collaborations with celebrities such as Trippie Redd, Blueface, Lil Yachty, and Tory Lanez.
Before joining Kick in 2023, Ross was a streamer on Twitch.
After the live broadcast with Trump, Ross shared images of the moment he presented the former president with the Cybertruck.
“Make America Great Again US,” he wrote in the Instagram caption publish.
Ross and Trump previously met as spectators at a fight night in April 2023.

“Legends on Legends”, wrote the streamer on another Instagram publish showing the pairs meeting.
“Streaming has reached its peak,” said impressed fans in response to Monday’s interview.
In addition to trying to reach the younger generation, the Republican also used the live broadcast to attack his rival Kamala Harris, who he will face in the November elections.
Trump lashed out at Harris as Democrats and Republicans awaited the announcement of his running mate.
“Everyone she sees is so much better than her,” Trump told Ross.
“I think virtually every one of them is considered better, smarter and would be a better president than she is.”
Harris is expected to officially announce her vice presidential pick on Tuesday, with the individual having already accepted the role, according to reports.
