Trump appeared on Kik livestream with Adin Ross, then things got awkward

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign took an interesting turn today, as votes were cast to oust former President Trump. In the livestream Hosted by streamer Adin Ross. The livestream was hosted on Kik and at its peak, it had over 580,000 viewers.

Ross is a streamer Known for giving rise to controversiesAt the peak of his popularity on Twitch, he accumulated over 7 million followers. He has hosted influencer Andrew Tate, who is currently facing charges in Romania for rape and human trafficking. He was repeatedly banned from Twitch for using racial slurs, being permanently banned last year after showing a chat stream where users used racial and anti-Semitic slurs. Ross moved to alternative streaming site Kik, where he continued his antics that included hosting well-known white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

The stream with Trump can be equally controversial. At one point during the interview, Ross presented Trump with a Rolex watch. Shortly after presenting the watch, Ross mentioned Georgia District Attorney Fanny Willis, who has filed charges against Trump for alleged election interference during the 2020 presidential election.

“I have a friend who is currently being treated very unfairly [District Attorney Willis]”He’s a rapper named Young Thug,” Ross said during the livestream, referencing Williams’ racketeering case against the rapper. “I was just wondering if there’s any way we can make sure he’s treated fairly?”

Donald Trump has a precedent to get rappers out of tricky legal situationsLate in his term in 2021, Trump pardoned rapper Lil Wayne after he pleaded guilty to illegally possessing a gun. He also commuted the sentence of rapper Kodak Black, who was sentenced to 46 months in prison for lying on federal forms in an attempt to purchase firearms.

Trump did not directly answer Ross’s question, saying only, “He should be treated fairly.” As details of the incident spread on social media, observers wondered whether Ross was attempting to bribe Trump or whether accepting such an expensive gift was some kind of campaign finance violation.

The two continued the livestream, with Trump making one-word comments on a list of celebrities and politicians, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Finally, at the end of the stream, Ross gave Trump another gift: a Tesla Cybertruck with a custom wrap The now famous photo of Trump He was shot during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The stream ended with Ross and Trump streaming from the Cybertruck as “YMCA” played to them.
