Kickstar Adin Ross has come under fire for gifting former President Donald Trump a Rolex, raising questions about possible Federal Election Commission (FEC) rule violations. To avoid criticism, Ross made it clear he would take the gift back.
Previously, Internet stars such as HasanAbi had sharply criticized Ross, saying that it was illegal for a presidential candidate to accept gifts.
Adin Ross countered HasanAbi for his comments, claiming he has big problems. “I swear to God, HasanAbi, you have real problems. You have real problems.”

He then explained why he had to take back the gift from Trump, but added that he would now give the Rolex to the former president’s youngest son, Barron Trump.
“Chat, I just need to get this straight. I need to take this Rolex back. There was a presidential Rolex that I gave to President Trump, and I had to take it back. I’m just going to give it to Barron Trump, OK?”

Ross and Trump spoke about Barron during the interview, with the GOP candidate praising his son and revealing that he is a huge fan of the internet sensation.
HasanAbi, the American online streamer and YouTuber, laughed as he watched Trump open the expensive gift on camera and then claimed that it would be illegal for him to accept the Rolex.
HasanAbi also raised the possibility that the price of the gift exceeded the FEC’s contribution limit. “This is illegal, flag at stake, this is literally not legal. You cannot give gifts to a person who is running for president,” he said.
Adin Ross did not disclose the price of the gift; Rolex watches typically cost $5,000 and up. He also gave Trump a Tesla Cybertruck that was specially wrapped and included a photo of the politician from the event in Pennsylvania where 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire, killing one and wounding Trump and two others.
The FEC’s official website states that the maximum amount an individual can donate to a candidate in the 2023–24 federal election is $3,300.
Adin Ross says he would leave the US if Trump loses
In a recent livestream, Ross told his viewers that he would likely leave the United States if Trump loses. “But brother, if Trump ends up losing because of manipulated propaganda, I’ll probably leave this country. There’s no point for me to be in America anymore.”
According to him, everything in the US would be “divided” and the situation would resemble a “small civil war”.
Ross went on to stress the seriousness of the situation he believes could occur, claiming that the future of the world will be very bleak. “The world is going to be so bad. So bad. The war is going to continue – in both wars. It’s just going to get worse, brother. It’s going to get really, really bad. It’s terrible.”
He explained his views on Trump’s foreign policy, noting that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and Russian President Vladimir Putin “respect Trump.”
He praised Trump for telling them, “I have a bigger red button than you.”
