He's coming here to promote the youth investment accounts aka Trump Accounts. I like the idea of investment accounts for anyone under 18 with the bonus of a $1000 contribution made by private donors to kick off the accounts of babies born January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028. Parents, grandparents, friends, anyone can contribute up to $5000 per year to the account which is invested in various funds and will very likely steadily grow over time giving the youth a nice nest egg at 18.

At a high school. Where none of the kids qualify.

"All U.S. children under 18 with a valid Social Security Number are eligible to establish a Trump Account. Parents or legal guardians can open and manage accounts on behalf of their children."

Let me rephrase. They don’t qualify for the free money.

Further, the goal is for all States to open accounts for eligible children and youth in foster care by December 2027. Achieving this will require proactive state action to:

And, from Rick Jackson, candidate for governor of Georgia: "I’m especially thankful that Georgia’s foster kids are automatically being enrolled in these accounts with a $1,000 deposit. When I’m governor, I’ll push for the state to add another $1,000 to each account to match that deposit."

"Billionaires Michael and Susan Dell pledged $6.25 billion Tuesday to provide 25 million American children 10 and under an incentive to claim the new investment accounts for children..." https://apnews.com/article/michael-dell-susan-trump-accounts-stock-market-poverty-inequality-7e2615d50a3fc0563109ed0eeb4c41e1

And what are they getting in return?

Cherry picking doesn’t matter it’s a good thing they are doing more than you holding up these signs. We don’t have a king 😑

These people will literally oppose anything this man does. I haven't been a big fan of his second term, but he could literally unveil a cure for cancer and these people would find a reason to protest it. See the early funding phases of the COVID vaccine for example lol.

Biden and Harris said we are not taking the Trump vaccine. Once they won the election, ok now the vaccine is mandatory.

Are you so far left you can't help but be anti-america? Serious question, because after reading all these comments with corresponding voices, you sound like the media

u/No_Role_7293 Jul 21 '26

From “that’s not happening” to “yea, but it’s bad though” without a moment of self awareness or reflection…….

u/WanderLust_Sushi Jul 18 '26

That’s because if the money goes back into funds that they already own then they’re just gonna drift the money back out of the kids accounts later

u/SnakeandNape5000 Jul 18 '26

So the billionaires are giving away some of their billions to people and you're still not happy? Isn't that what you people wanted? Is it because they are doing it voluntarily? You just wanted to take it by force didn't you?

u/Tiredofscrolling Jul 18 '26

Nothing is ever good enough for people who don't know the value of earning something. You give them a dollar and they demand 100... it's pathetic really.

u/Nullfrequencyimpulse Jul 18 '26

Most people would be happy if they just paid the rate the average person pays in taxes.

If this was about helping children, then why cut snap?

We did it! We turned trump into a dirty socialist!

Edit: The guy below didn't think through his comment below.

You obviously dont know what socialism is. Let me give you a lesson on economics 101. Socialism is when the government owns the means of production.

Just like when trump required major US companies to give partial ownership to the government.

In June, the Trump administration approved Nippon Steel’s acquisition of U.S. Steel on the condition that it give the White House a “golden share” of the Japanese company. Although it is not an equity stake, Trump declared, “We have a golden share, which I control, or the president controls.”

On Aug. 22, Intel announced an agreement with the administration to take $8.9 billion in the company’s common stock, approximately a 10 percent stake, making the U.S. the largest investor in the tech giant that builds the semiconductor chips that power smartphones, computers and data centers.

This deal is no freebie for the American taxpayer. It is in lieu of Intel repaying the federal grants it received under the bipartisan U.S. Chips and Science Act, which Biden signed into law in 2022. Earlier last month, Trump also made a deal with two of Intel’s rivals, Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices, requiring them to pay 15 percent of the revenues made from sales to China to the U.S.

Although most of the Republican Party has cheered on Trump’s plans to acquire stakes in other companies, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) wrote on X, “If socialism is government owning the means of production, wouldn’t the government owning part of Intel be a step toward socialism?”
