Trump Accounts
2025 July
2025-07-31 News outlets reported that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent once referred to the “Trump Baby Account” as a “back door for privatizing Social Security”. However, the same article referred to Bessent’s social media post clarifying that those accounts are “…an additive benefit for future generations, which will supplement…”, which White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reasserted during a press conference. The article quoted Leavitt as saying, “What the secretary of treasury was saying, and what this administration believes, is that these Trump newborn accounts, which is an incredibly creative and great provision that was in the one big, beautiful bill for newborn babies and families and future generations of Americans, will help supplement not substitute Social Security”.

2025-12-02 My Trump Accounts section is in progress right now, but I first heard about it when Michael and Susan Dell donated $6.25B into Trump accounts.Apparently these accounts are designed to give $250 as low-cost stock funds.
From what I gather, they have criteria and can only be given to children born between certain years and only within certain zip codes.
