NEW: Trump Thanks Barron For Helping His Campaign In A YUGE Way
On Tuesday former President Donald Trump expressed his profound gratitude towards his youngest son, Barron Trump, for playing a pivotal role in orchestrating what turned out to be a record-breaking social media event. The spectacle was hosted by notable internet personality, Adin Ross, who not only interviewed Trump but also presented him with lavish gifts such as a gold Rolex watch and a customized Tesla Cybertruck.
The live interview streamed on Monday afternoon quickly became the center of online attention, with Trump revealing on Truth Social that the platform had set “an all-time record, by far,” amassing over 100 million views. The staggering number combined the unique blend of Gen-Z entertainment and politics, leading to a vast audience. During the event, Ross, known for his controversial yet magnetic online presence, sat down with Trump in a session that extended beyond typical politics, exploring areas that resonated with younger audiences.
“Wow!!! Adin Ross Interview yesterday EXPLODED, but in a very positive way! Platform set an all-time record, by far, with over 100 MILLION Views/Hits. Congratulations to Adin and his wonderful mother, father, and family, who I had the pleasure to meet. Thank you also to Barron Trump for the introduction to your friend, Adin. Young people are the future of America. THOSE NUMBERS ARE REALLY BIG ‘STUFF!'” Trump wrote.
By facilitating a new connection, Barron contributed significantly to his father’s campaign.
Trump was gifted a custom-designed Cybertruck, which bore the powerful image of the former president with his fist raised, symbolizing his defiant spirit amid his assassination attempt, at the Mar-a-Lago event. Trump told Ross that Barron “says hello” and that “he’s a big fan of yours.” Barron reportedly said to his father about Ross: “Dad, he’s really big.”
“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.

The dramatic entrance was only a prelude to a more light-hearted moment that would capture the internet’s attention. After discussing various topics ranging from politics to personal anecdotes, Trump and Ross surprised the audience by breaking into the iconic YMCA dance, a nod to his campaign rallies where the song became an unofficial anthem.
Ross is a prominent content creator and live streamer, best known for his engaging presence on Twitch, where he streams a variety of content, including video games and live vlogs. Gaining a substantial following for his energetic personality and interactions with other internet personalities, Ross has also ventured into the world of celebrity gaming streams, collaborating with high-profile figures like Bronny James and Lil Yachty. His content often extends beyond gaming to include lively discussions and reactions to various topics, making him a versatile figure in the digital entertainment industry.
In a bold move during the interview, Ross directly told his 1.36 million followers on Kick to throw their support behind Trump, showcasing the former president’s strategic push to win over young male voters, who are trending more conservative. Now, turning the campaign dial up a notch, Trump is zeroing in, indicating a targeted approach to capture a new, crucial voting bloc.
