Streamer Adin Ross gifted President Donald Trump a custom Tesla cybertruck following an interview on Monday that included the famous “Fight!” photo from the July 13 Trump assassination attempt.
The livestream included Trump’s response to the vehicle that included “Make America Great Again” printed on the hood.
“Wow!” Trump said. “That’s an Elon!” he added as he walked out of his Mar-a-Lago home from an earlier interview to see the vehicle.
“Check out this wrap and let me know your honest thoughts,” Ross said as he closed the passenger door, revealing Trump’s fist pump image.
“I think it’s incredible,” Trump responded.
A second video clip from the interaction showed Ross and Trump seated in the cybertruck choosing a song to test out the sound system.
“Thinking that it’s going to come back under proper management, how about ‘California Dreaming’?” Trump said, taking a swipe against the state’s Democratic leadership.
The full interview that Ross livestreamed from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home included over an hour of unfiltered discussion between the two men. Topics included a discussion of world leaders and a variety of issues important to voters.
Ross reached over 580,000 viewers during the livestream, not including the viral reach of the interview and moments from it following the live event. Trump stated that his sons introduced the idea to him of holding the event with Ross, noting the streamer’s influence, according to NBC News.
The wide-open interview stood in stark contrast with Vice President Kamala Harris. She has been criticized for going over 15 days without a press conference since announcing her plans to run for president after President Joe Biden said he would no longer be running for reelection.
Trump and Harris continue to negotiate a time and location for an upcoming presidential debate. Trump’s team proposed using Biden’s former time slot scheduled against him on Fox News in September.
During his recent Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, rally, Trump said he was ready for a debate with the vice president.
“She’s got one of the worst records in, anywhere,” Trump responded. “Well, Kamala, let’s go, challenge accepted, are you ready? Let’s compare our records, point by point.”
