Donald Trump is one of the most radical and unpredictable global leaders and he has been living up to this reputation on a daily basis. Now, he has started to go after the newborn population and here’s a look into the same.

US President Donald Trump has unveiled a new proposal called Trump Accounts aimed at giving every newborn American a financial head start from birth. As per the plan children born in the United States between January 1 2025 and December 31 2028 will automatically receive a one time government funded investment of 1000 dollars in a special account created in their name.

The money will be invested in low cost stock market index funds and allowed to grow over time through compounding. Parents relatives employers and others can also contribute additional amounts each year within a fixed limit.

The funds will remain locked during childhood and can be accessed later for key life needs such as higher education starting a business or buying a home with full access coming in adulthood.

Trump has pitched the initiative as a long term wealth building tool that ensures every child regardless of background has a financial stake in the country’s economic future.

Supporters argue that starting investments at birth could significantly reduce wealth gaps over time. Critics however have raised concerns about costs government priorities and whether market linked accounts are suitable for a universal social program.

The initiative is part of a broader economic policy push and is expected to be debated intensely as the US heads into a politically charged period.
