Mediaite reports:
Former President Donald Trump sat for a controversial interview on Monday with streamer Adin Ross, who has been banned for “hateful content” from streaming platform Twitch.
After the interview, Ross and Trump did a dance outside for the cameras and Trump reiterated his new pro-TikTok position.
Trump’s interview with Ross was immediately the focus of controversy as Ross has embraced white nationalists and neo-Nazis in the past, including avowed neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes – who once dined with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
Media Matters reports:
Ross has previously hosted Fuentes and advocated for him and other neo-Nazis to be allowed to stream on Kick. Ross also asked “to invite Paul Miller, a.k.a. GypsyCrusader, a notorious neo-Nazi who advocates for race war and was convicted on multiple firearms offenses in 2021, to join the site” and played a video of Miller dressed as Adolf Hitler and saying the N-word.
In 2023, Ross called Fuentes into his stream to discuss the “Day of Hate,” a neo-Nazi call to action that was allegedly meant for supporters to spread antisemitic propaganda and cruelty.
During another 2023 stream, Ross hosted an anonymous neo-Nazi wearing a swastika mask with slurs written on it and a “Black Sun” neo-Nazi flag on his wall behind him. Ross is closely linked to manosphere influencer Andrew Tate, who is charged with rape and human trafficking. In an anti-trans reaction video, Ross said that his pronouns are “kill/them.”
The cultists can’t pretend to be surprised.

Streamer Adin Ross gives Trump a Rolex — it looks something like a gold Daydate with a green dial, which would definitely be above the $3300 FEC contribution limit. pic.twitter.com/MQt5DVRqfr
