Former President Donald Trump added to his collection of luxury items with a gold Rolex watch and a customized Tesla Cybertruck, both gifts from internet celebrity Adin Ross.
The gifts were given during a live-streamed interview at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate on Monday afternoon.
The Cybertruck, adorned with Trump’s campaign slogan“Make America Great Again” and decked out in red, white, and blue, was parked outside Mar-a-Lago, providing a striking visual for Ross’ audience, which surpassed 500,000 viewers.
The truck displayed an image of Trump with his fist raised, captured shortly after an assassination attempt at a recent rally.
Trump praised both the vehicle and the watch, remarking, “I think it’s incredible,” and “Wow, that’s so nice,” while examining the gifts, according to the NYT.
The interview included a custom playlist, with Trump listening to classics like the Beach Boys while seated in the Cybertruck.
According to Tesla’s website, the starting price for a base model Cybertruck is $60,990, with higher-end versions costing over $100,000.
A custom wrap, which is a printed vinyl sticker covering the entire exterior of the vehicle, begins at approximately $4,000. Rolex watches generally start at $5,000.
The lavish gifts, which greatly surpass the federal campaign contribution limit of $3,300 per election cycle, might present legal difficulties for Trump.
Brendan Fischer, deputy executive director of the watchdog group Documented, suggested that these items probably represent illegal and excessive campaign contributions.
