Pro-Trump Host Adin Ross Said — On Camera — He Got ‘Questions Pre-Approved’ For Trump Interview

Pro-Trump streaming host Adin Ross said — on camera — that he had “questions pre-approved” ahead of his live interview with former President Donald Trump.
Ross interviewed Trump live at Mar-a-Lago on Monday, during which he presented Trump with a Rolex watch and a Tesla Cybertruck as gifts — and at one point danced with Trump. But a week earlier, Ross bluntly admitted the questions were “pre-approved.”
As Mediaite’s Alex Griffingnoted, the interviewer has baggage:
Trump’s interview with Ross was immediately the focus of controversy as Ross has embraced white nationalists and neo-Nazis in the past, including avowed neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes – who once dined with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
“Per our Community Guidelines, unmoderated Hateful Conduct in chat, such as racist and anti-semitic messages, is not allowed on Twitch,” explained the streaming service Twitch in February 2023 when it permanently banned Ross.
The interview drew over half a million live viewers — which Ross predicted a week ago when he announced the stream to his audience.
During that July 30 show, Ross also repeatedly talked about “pre-approved” elements of the carefully orchestrated event — including the fact that he had “pre-approved questions” to ask Trump:
CO-HOST: Ask him that question, bro!
ADIN ROSS: What? What question?
CO-HOST: No, I got to get it. I got to give you a hug. I’m actually proud of you.
ADIN ROSS: Thank you. I appreciate that man.
CO-HOST: That’s actually about to be crazy good.
ADIN ROSS: Thank you. I appreciate that.
CO-HOST: That’s about to be ridiculous.
ADIN ROSS: Yeah. I. It’s crazy, bro. I don’t. I don’t even know, man. This is insane moment. Still hasn’t really hit me.
I’m gonna be nervous.
CO-HOST: You got to talk about (inaudible) fucking skyrocketing–.
ADIN ROSS: I, I already have whatever questions pre-approved, and I will confirm there’s a crypto question. Of course I had to slide one in for Schnaggie (ph).
