Way to prop up a wobbly stock market.
President Trump’s bill, which was signed into law earlier this year, gives $1,000 to every newborn, so long as their parents open an account. That money is invested in the stock market by private firms, and the child can access the funds when they turn 18.
With 'Trump Accounts,' your baby could qualify for $1,000. Here's what to know.
To qualify for an account, a baby must be a U.S. citizen, have a Social Security number and be born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028.

That should be a major story and talking point.
They cut USAID to "save" from "waste," but gave 40 billion to Argentina and threw a Great Gatsby party and let Kash Patel burn our money for his honeypot GF.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
