Adin Ross has been a fan of Donald Trump, meeting him in UFC 287 in April 2023 and streaming with him on Kick in August 2024.
One of Kick’s biggest names – Adin Ross – has recently found himself at the center of political talk. With the 2024 US Elections wrapping up, Ross has shared his views on the situation. For those unaware, the Kick streamer is a big proponent of Trump. He has spoken about the former president of the USA with high regard. However, it wasn’t until April 2023 that he first met Trump. The duo first came face-to-face during a UFC event (UFC 287, to be precise).
This particular event took place at Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. Ross was born and brought up in Florida, and his streaming base is currently in Miami. He also happens to have a close connection with UFC president Dana White, who facilitated Ross and Trump’s meeting. The streamer filmed the occasion and later uploaded it to his YouTube channel.

He also posted a picture with Donald Trump on his official Instagram account. He captioned the picture with:
“Legends on Legends. Shoutout to Dana for always looking out.”
How Did Adin Ross Land a Stream With Donald Trump?
Adin Ross had been working on organizing a stream with Donald Trump for quite some time. With the elections only a few months away, Ross announced in July 2024 that he had finally arranged a stream with the former president. Speaking about the occasion, he said:
“I’m happy to be in the situation where I’m about to say… August 5th, which is next Monday, I have a stream with the President, Donald Trump. We’ve been working on this for weeks (and) months. It’s officially locked in. We will have a livestream with the President, Donald Trump, on August 5th… and it’s going to be insane.” It’s going to be probably around, like, 1 pm Eastern Time.”
He also revealed that it was UFC President Dana White and Trump’s youngest son Barron who helped make the collaboration happen. Ross said:
“Thank you so much to Dana. Dana White really helped me align this together. Thank you so much, Dana. I really, really appreciate it, man. This could be by far one of the most important streams I’ve ever done in my life. I also want to shout out to Barron, as well. Barron, thank you very much.”
The stream finally took place on August 5, 2024, at Mar-a-Lago, a resort and National Historic Landmark in Palm Beach, Florida. It was certainly groundbreaking, drawing over 500,000 concurrent viewers.
Adin Ross also presented Trump with two gifts: a custom-wrapped Tesla Cybertruck and a Rolex watch. However, due to donation limits restricting individual contributions to around $3,000, these gifts were instead given to Trump’s son, Barron.

During his speech, Dana White specifically thanked Adin Ross, among other creators, who supported Trump’s campaign. He said:
