Big T Gifted a Special Tesla Cyber Truck
August 10, 2024–The day readers do not already know the ‘news’ I might impart here is the day we will know that Donald J. Trump’s political career is finished. Pray that day does not come November 5th.
This week what tickled me most about Trump World was the Live Stream event he did at his home at Mar-a-Lago with Adin Ross, a young ‘top 5’ live video streamer who has millions of young followers just like him on every social media platform.
Tik-Tok is his current haunt where he has 6.4 million followers on his Kick channel. It’s said he earns $2.5 million a month there just from posting new videos every day. At 23, Ross has a net worth of $23 million from his endeavors. (Ross backgrounders here and here.)
The interview ran an hour and seventeen minutes and it covered a lot of ground which included newsy questions (awkwardly put by Ross at times) about last week’s dust-up, for instance, Trump had with hostile reporters at a forum organized by the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) and much more.
In case you missed it and how could you? Full YouTube stream is here. Ross also devised a fun ‘describe in one word quiz’ segment where Ross presented Trump with a slew of photos of famous people for his quick one-word take.
Trump – or someone on Team Trump? You have to scroll down to find out who! – thought it might be a good idea for him to sit down with this lad as Trump seeks to grow the youth vote this time around.
Meeting Ross is admittedly not like going into the lion’s den as he did last week when he sat down with ABCs Rachel Scott, Semaphor’s Nadia Goba and Harris Faulkner of Fox – three black female journalists – who were all in varying degrees quite hostile toward the former president.
The Ross live stream interview was a soft interview although not Joe Biden-what’s-your-favorite-flavor-of-ice-cream-soft. The conversation was a fascinating ride and turned up some interesting tidbits.
Ross did not come with the mere promise of delivering a key voting demographic, however – He also bestowed two unique gifts on the former president which he graciously received.
Plain Tesla Cyber Truck Meet Trump-skinned Cyber Truck
The first gift made a big splash! Ross rolled up to Mar-a-Lago in a custom-wrapped Tesla cyber truck. Outfitted with the American flag and and that iconic photo of Trump raising his fist in the air right after an assassin’s bullet grazed his ear. Trump eagerly joined Ross who jumped out of the driver’s seat to greet him. All of it is captured in the Facebook clips below:

And David J. Harris posted this video of the day’s happening:
Two things stood out in watching videos of the pre-interview meet-up: 1) Trump is now fully onboard with Tik Tok. He said he fully supports it whereas he was totally against it during his presidency because it’s a Chinese company; and, 2) Trump has a penchant for music — they’re both ‘Trump Dancing’ for the cameras! Ross, likely aware of Trump’s musical bent, teed up a playlist of favorites for Trump to enjoy which included tunes by Elvis, Michael Jackson and others.
Someone please explain how it is possible that less than a month ago, this man took a bullet, survived, and can tolerate seeing that iconic photo that captured that historic moment so vividly wrapped around the exterior of a Tesla cyber truck?
What exactly is Donald Trump made of? The same ‘ultra-hard stainless steel’ as Musk’s cyber truck? Trump’s courage in the face of adversity that now includes bouncing back from a near-fatal attempt on his life bears no resemblance to the bone and sinew we mere mortals are made of.
Trump in this meeting as well as in the interview that followed inside Mar-a-Lago was his usual convivial self and as robust as ever.

Trump opens the sit down by saying to Ross, “Barron said to say hello.” “Barron’s great,” says Ross.
“You already broke the website in five minutes, Mr. President,” Ross continues after a bit of chit chat.
This kid likes to name-drop by the way and says early, “Elon commented on my X post about this meeting I’m having with you.” Reactions to it were swift and came not just from Elon but around the web. See here.
Adin sort of needlessly explains to Trump how streaming works. Trump knew but he played along. Trump seems a bit low-key at first. The audio feed wasn’t good though and they both seemed to stumble a bit.
Ross admits he’s just getting up to speed with politics and asked Trump to tell his audience about the top issues in the election which he did.
A native Californian, Ross told Trump that Kamala and New’scum’ were ruining California. He was aghast that ‘people just walk into a Louis Vuitton store and just loot it.’ Trump said the concept comes from Kamala and ‘it’s spreading everywhere.’
“Why did those three women treat you like that and then ask the other side about ice cream?” He added – again aghast, “To think they’re twerking at a Kamala rally! It’s not right.”
Trump reminds him that nobody wants to watch her. ‘She gets rappers to fill up the place’ and ‘it’s actually quite smart – they go last – so they have to stay for the show’ Trump explained. Ross nods in agreement.
Trump brings up the news about the trouble everyone reported – notably Elon Musk – with Google vis a vis incorrect search results for search string ‘Trump assassination attempt’ and related searches which pointed to a deliberate change in its search algos.
Trump was sure to insert into the conversation too that Mark Zuckerberg called him after the assassination attempt. Apparently famed Facebook founder, known for his share of shadow banning and outright censorship, said that Trump’s response to the shooting was ‘badass.’
Ross was prompted to use the same word with Trump, “You took a bullet. What president would do that? That was badass. It really was.”
The pair traded thoughts about Dana White, close Trump friend and head of the UFC. Ross shows he’s chummy with him too by dropping his name first.
About fifteen minutes in, Ross presents Trump with another gift. It’s a gold Rolex watch. Trump remarks that many great golfers wear Rolexes and complimented the ‘beautiful packaging.’ Clip below.
We learned today that Trump must return the watch because it exceeds the dollar value of allowable campaign gifts. Adin put a video out about it on his channel.
The One Word Description Quiz: Go!
Ross demonstrates how he can poll his millions of followers in real-time by asking to interact with him live. He segues into his One Word to Describe this Person Quiz with his subject.
First photo flashes on the screen: Adin Ross?
Outstanding. Big stuff Adin. To do what you do at a young age, it’s amazing
Next: Donald Trump?
Patriot.
Joe Rogan?
Interesting.
Dana White?
Fighter.
This segment took 20 minutes alone. Trump couldn’t stick to the single word stories. As you might imagine, he inserted a few famous anecdotes ones about Chairman Xi, and President Zelenskyy of Ukraine.
Ross closes with a direct appeal to his streamer audience to ‘Get Out and Vote!’
The kid is a bit of alright.
Take a look at the comments on the YouTube video. It encapsulates the depth of persistent shadow banning Google engages in. Google of course owns YouTube. The live stream got over 100 million views.
Team Trump Gets an Assist from a Mystery Aide!
Okay, the secret is out. Trump mentioned his son, Barron, early in the live stream, and Adin responded saying some nice words about his son and revealed they are friends, and also said he’s very smart.
“My kids say, ‘Dad you have no idea how big this interview is.’ I said ‘Don’t tell me that,’” Trump said during Monday’s interview. “By facilitating a new connection, Barron contributed significantly to his father’s campaign,” notes this article.
Ross also talks to Don, Jr. not just Barron, as he happened to mention during the interview.
Elon Musk fully endorsed Donald Trump for president the day after the attempt in Butler, PA to assassinate him. (Read about it here.)
Last week, Elon posted that Google was suppressing the search string ‘Trump assassination attempt.’ An hour later it was reportedly fixed. If you did that search or similar searches, Google directed users to Kamala Harris articles.
Google was even suppressing auto-fill in the search box if users typed in ‘Donald Tr—.’ Google delivered these crazy results: Ronald Reagan and Donald Duck. But Google’s autofill function did not fill out ‘Trump’ following ‘Donald.’
Trump just published a new book, “Save America” from his own Winning Publishing. Guess what cover photo he chose to illustrate it?
