Adin Ross has announced an upcoming live stream of none other than former U.S. President Donald Trump on Kick. The highly expected stream is to air on the 5th of August 2024 and is celebrated to be one of the most discussed streams this year.
Ross is known for his knack for attracting huge audiences, mainly due to his sheer charisma and at times provocation, which he instigates in his style. High-caliber guests and sensational topics are always common in his streams, thereby really keeping people at the edge of his or her seat. Just recently, one of the streams with a Kim Jong Un impersonator set a viewership record and, for good measure, further sealed his position as a premiere streamer in the Kick world.

Ross’s career kicked off with gaming content, but he soon steered away to do more eclectic showcases that would secure and hold more comebacks often marrying pop culture with live interaction. He doesn’t just court controversy; he is a controversy magnet. His instinct has not only gained him many new followers but has also fueled several online arguments.
The stream with Donald Trump was also hyped way before the event. Ross wrote earlier that he wanted to make content with Trump, considering it the biggest achievement in his streaming career. “I’ve always wanted to have a conversation with Trump,” Ross said recently during a stream. “This is going to be huge, not just for me but for everyone watching.”
This is, of course, part of the larger scheme of Ross to feature big and controversial figures on his platform in order to push the boundaries of conventional streaming and keep content up-to-date and interesting.
A big name behind making that cooperation possible would be Dana White, president of UFC. He had a huge role in being the glue between Ross and Trump in terms of coordination of communication. In fact, it was revealed that White had played a pretty huge role in bridging the gap, and his connections ensured that the stream would go on.
Ross and Trump first met during UFC 287 held in April 2023, even though White had known him. In fact, this may have been the first flashpoint where all these upcoming collaborations were fated to hinge on Trump, by having Ross state in one of his streams that Dana White wanted Shoney’s to work with Trump during this period of electioneering, a clear pointer that the whole thing was well planned by White.
The meeting at UFC 287 actually seeds what has developed now into a live stream. Ross called the meeting with Trump, as fleeting as it was, powerful. “Meeting Trump at UFC 287 was surreal,” explained Ross to his observers. “Dana was the one who connected the dots and now here we are, ready to make history.”
These maneuvers of White, including his influence and timely suggestion to have the stream closer to the election period, underscore the calculated move behind this event to ensure maximum impact and viewership.
The viewership of this particular stream is likely to be in its highest number, as both Adin Ross and Donald Trump are high-profile figures. It can also be predicted to be one of the spectacles that will take over discourse from many fronts, looking at the combination of Ross’s dynamic streaming style with Trump’s polarizing presence. The analyst concluded the event likely to outdo earlier viewership records on Kick and one single event to register on one of the significant highlights for streaming of the year. The collaboration was termed as a bold move by Ross to cement his status as one of the leading men of online entertainment.
