'Bring Kamala back': This influencer bought Trump a Rolex — now he’s lost '8 figures'

Adin Ross, a 23-year-old gamer, internet personality and prominent figure in the anti-feminist Manosphere movement, is so fond of President Donald Trump that he gave him, as a gift, a gold Rolex and a customized, MAGA-themed Tesla Cybertruck.

But now, Ross is publicly admitting that Trump's steep new tariffs are hurting him financially.

During a recent livestream with his ally DJ Akademiks, Ross revealed that he has lost "eight figures" in the stock market.

Akademiks said of the stock market, "People are getting killed. Me too. We all are."

When Ross told him he lost "eight figures" in the stock market, Akademiks responded, "Damn! You over here like, damn, Kamala, come back to me!"

The "Kamala" Akademiks was referring to was former Vice President Kamala Harris, who Trump narrowly defeated in the United States' 2024 presidential election. During her campaign, Harris warned that the steep tariffs Trump was proposing would have brutal consequences for U.S. consumers and businesses — and the recent pain in the stock market bears that out.

Ross enthusiastically supported Trump in 2024, interviewing him online.

During the April 2025 livestream, Ross told Akademiks, "It's bad, I'm not gonna lie to you. It'll get better, but it's bad, though."
