Republicans bank on a Trump accounts boost

In 2020, President Donald Trump put his name in small print on stimulus checks that went out to tens of millions of Americans. Now, as with much of his second term, the MAGA branding on his financial policies has been super-charged.

“Trump Accounts,” which officially launch today, amount to a significant new economic policy experiment, with the potential to bolster wealth for American children en masse.

But how much these tax-advantaged investment accounts will meaningfully alter kids’ financial trajectories — or redound to Republicans’ benefit politically — remains an open question.

Though the accounts are available to any children with Social Security numbers, the millions of U.S. citizens born during roughly the four years of Trump’s term will get an added benefit: starting out with $1,000 seeded by the federal government.
