Trump Proposes $1,000 Investment Accounts for Every Child Born Between 2025 and 2028

Former President Donald Trump has unveiled a bold new proposal that aims to provide every American child born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, with a $1,000 investment account funded by the U.S. government.

Speaking at a campaign event, Trump described the plan as a way to “kickstart generational wealth” and give young Americans a financial head start from birth.

“It’s time we invest in our future — and that means investing in our children. Every baby born in America during this period will receive a $1,000 government-backed investment account,” Trump said. “By the time they turn 18, they’ll have something to build on.”

While the details of the program are still emerging, early reports suggest the accounts would be held in trust until the child reaches adulthood, potentially gaining interest or being tied to national investment growth. The proposal has already sparked debate among economists, politicians, and families.

Supporters argue that it’s a forward-thinking plan to address wealth inequality and give all children — regardless of background — a chance at financial independence. Critics, however, are questioning the funding sources, long-term viability, and whether it’s a political strategy ahead of the 2028 elections.

If passed, this initiative could impact millions of families and reshape how the U.S. views financial support for its youth.
