Courting the youth vote, former President Donald Trump welcomed Adin Ross – a popular streamer that his son Barron watches – to his Mar-a-Lago resort for a wide-ranging interview, scoring a personalized Tesla Cybertruck from the 23-year-old influencer.
During the interview, the 45th president revealed that his 18-year-old son is a fan of Ross, who is known online for streaming video games and is an enthusiastic backer of Trump.
“My son Barron says hello. He’s a great young guy but he’s a big fan of yours,” Trump said during the interview, before riffing about how smart and tall his youngest son is.
“I think it’s incredible,” Trump added.
It comes as the Trump campaign pushes to shore up more support with younger voters. Some polls had shown Trump gaining ground with younger men, in particular, prior to President Biden’s abrupt withdrawal from the race last month.
In the interview geared toward younger audiences, Trump declared that he was “going to save TikTok” and urged users of the popular short-form video-sharing platform to vote for him – despite pushing for the social media company’s ban during his presidency.
