Kick star Adin Ross has claimed that he’ll be joined on stream by President Donald Trump, on Monday, August 5, and has bet $100K with the streaming site’s CEO that it will attract over 600,000 viewers. Here’s how you can watch the stream.
Adin Ross has been a supporter of Donald Trump for some time now and had a chance to meet the former POTUS at UFC 287.
Following the 2023 event, Adin revealed that UFC President Dana White was trying to put him in contact with Trump for a potential collaboration closer to the election.
How to watch Adin Ross stream with Donald Trump
Ross has announced that he’ll be joined by Trump on Kick on August 5.
The broadcast is set to start at 1pm ET / 10am PT, and will take place on his Kick channel here.

However, this is speculation that Adin is simply trolling his viewers again – like he did with his “Kim Jong Un stream. In September 2023, his channel broke Kick’s viewership record by promising he would be joined by the North Korean leader.
To the surprise of hardly anyone, the Kim Jong Un did not show up. Rather, it was an impersonator. Adin could be planning to pull the same stunt with his Donald Trump stream, but has made efforts to make it seem as real as possible.
In a stream on July 30, Ross called up Dana White to thank him for making the connection.

“I just wanted to tell you that I really appreciate you, bro, because you definitely helped me do this. You’re the best. You’re the greatest. Thank you so much, Dana,” the Kick star said.
Ross then spoke with Kick CEO Eddie Craven, who gave him some advice to promote the broadcast and do the right things to “make sure it blows up.”
“I will bet $100,00 that I will get over 500,000 concurrent viewers,” Ross said, but agreed to make it 600k, because Craven called 500k “easy.”

Fellow streamer Asmongold was excited at the prospect, even predicting that it will draw over a million viewers.
“If this actually happens, this will be f**king legendary,” he said. “I’m gonna watch this for sure. I’m gonna be honest, if Adin Ross gets Donald Trump on stream, I think this can easily be over 1 million viewers.”

Adin Ross isn’t the first influencer Donald Trump will have met with during this election cycle. Back in June, the former president appeared on an episode of IMPAULSIVE with Logan Paul to discuss a variety of topics ranging from aliens to boxing.
Out of 423 IMPAULSIVE episodes, the Trump interview has become the tenth most-watched on YouTube with 6.3M views, which could be an indicator of how well Adin’s stream with Trump will perform.
