The mainstream media’s insatiable need to highlight every Donald Trump humiliation just backfired spectacularly, and I am one-hundred percent here for it.
Once again, the media cannot help themselves and I love it! They engage Trump on his terms and help increase his exposure while pretending they somehow “owned” him. They seem to forget he lives by the old P.T. Barnum adage: “there’s no such thing as bad publicity.”
“If we renamed unemployment “Trump Assistance,” we could probably wipe out the national debt by Labor Day.)” The administration should compensate you for this brilliant idea!
Until a kid is 18 or takes the money, who benefits from the money? All of those people who seeded it. They did not ’invest’ out of the goodness of their hearts.
Are terms carved in stone or can the terms change or be added to in the next 18 years?
What strings are attached? Not going to college? Oh sorry- we keep the money?
What a cool way to get people to sign up to be tracked……..
The smart move? Invest your own money. If you can find the money to buy a $1000+ iPhone, you can find $1000 to invest on your own.
Unlike a 529, it's not just for college; it can be used for buying a home, starting a business, etc. The biggest selling point is definitely the free $1,000--plus the investment compounds without annual taxes on gains. If you'd rather invest on your own, nobody's stopping you! But most people don't, so this is not a bad option. :)
If people were smart enough to invest like you suggest everyone would be rich. People are inherently stupid as proven by Jenna’s statistic that only 30% of eligibles have signed up for a Trump Account .
"Mom, Braydon just used his Trump account to start tech school. Why don't I have a Trump account?"
"Well son, your dad and I felt that virtue signaling to our friends that we, too, were self-rightious political bigots was more important than signing you up for free money."
There are a lot of things this administration has done that are good for average Americans and their futures. The Trump accounts, the tax relief on tips and overtime are the ones people know about. But why is the 401k option for people who don’t have one at work never discussed (also seeded with $1000 I believe)?
And did anyone else on here hear about the new federal program that gives young people between 18-23 the opportunity to work in a government job to get experience? I heard the Sec of Labor interviewed about it when it came out. You can have a degree or no college at all. He said the federal workforce is aged and these are set terms (I think 2-4 years if I remember right) for young people to work in all kinds of jobs before they go out into the private sector. I think it’s great, especially with so many kids having trouble finding jobs in their fields after college, and kids not knowing what to do with themselves after high school. But the media is silent, to the detriment of people who could really use it.
Note: all of this is from memory, I heard that interview probably 8 or 9 months ago, so I may have some details wrong.
Pathways Programs (specifically the Internship Program), rather than a brand-new exclusive demographic-only mandate. Young adults and students can find and apply for these early-career positions through USAJOBS.
My kids opened accounts for their children and sent me the links (at my request) so we can contribute for birthdays and Christmas. They all said it was incredibly easy to start their kids’ accounts. Good, user-friendly website.
I thought, based on what is published, that grandparents were the 3rd option if legal guardian or parents did not exist. Is that the case here or did you just go ahead and open the accounts as grandparents without issue. Unless that happens later when the feds discover the parents didn't create the accounts?
Technically ... I sat down with my son n law and made sure he did it. I started to myself and actually created an app account, but realized it would be simpler to make him do it. But As I understand, GPs can open them, but they need to make sure no one else has already, or will.
Nice work! (It's Rylan tho, lots of media getting it wrong.) And hilariously, Inside Edition says they "tracked him down and interviewed him" (and quote him as saying he absolutely was not mocking Trump, he was pumped and amazed, it was an honor...) but they don't show the interview! https://www.tiktok.com/@insideedition/video/7665813068424826125
Now that Rylan has expressed support for Trump, the media's elation will subside, and they will quickly sweep it under the rug. Rylan said he would love to meet the President. I'm sure he will.
I keep wondering if these accounts are intended to gradually replace social security. As you mention this new IRA makes more sense this may be the end game over time.
Jenna, thanks for posting this! Oh the stupid media😂... so... my mother LOVED leopard print (had an actual leopard skin coat which I wore in HS until it wasn't cool anymore 😉) so it seems my 6yo granddaughter who never met my mother is channeling her love of leopard! My daughter and I love it.
It is absolutely true that Trump haters will not get a Trump account for their babies. Neither his parents nor his grandmother (who is my sister) will get one for Baby Alexander. I am gobsmacked.
Someday when those kids are 18 they will tell their friends,” I’ve got over $100,000 dollars to go to school, or buy a house, etc from the Trump accounts” . The others, hobbled by parents with TDS, will hear this and total up their student loans, future barista jobs (no offense, I salute good baristas) and general lack of prospects, and will ask their parents why they didn’t sign them up and “who is this Trump guy?
Oddly enough, both his parents have jobs with guaranteed benefits. Alexander better hope he can find employment like his parents have. And they will end up regretting their decision not to let their baby have an account since now they will be on the hook for his tuition should he decide to go to college!
Girl! I like the way you think. Today, Good Morning America showed a viral video of a man dressed as Spiderman hop out of his car and help a man in a wheelchair get across a 6 lane crosswalk. They said he was dressed as Spiderman for his job at a trampoline park. Just so happens Disney owns ABC and the rights to Marvel AND a new Spiderman movie is out. Advertising has morphed into many new forms. Thanks for enlightening us on the Trump Account marketing strategy.
And I can't stop laughing at Orange is the new Black.
This highlights the first reason why I vote for Trump: He handles the liberal media masterfully and I predict this characteristic will be recorded history forever.
Hey, let's put welfare (Trump Aid), SNAP (Trump Yummies), Sec 8 (Trump housing) and unemployment (Trump Hire Me) all under there!!!!!!!! And just for the liberal heads exploding moments to film - Soc Security (Trump Aged) and Medicare (Trump Medical). LMAOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WIN, WIN, WIN!!!!!!!!!!! We'd get some GREAT videos at thier next No Kings protest!!!!!! HA!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!! I'm crying and trying to get air!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once again, the media cannot help themselves and I love it! They engage Trump on his terms and help increase his exposure while pretending they somehow “owned” him. They seem to forget he lives by the old P.T. Barnum adage: “there’s no such thing as bad publicity.”
The amazing part…they’ll fall for it all again tomorrow …he owns them
I’ll say it again, someone out there has a wicked sense of humor. And are geniuses at getting the MSM right where they want them.
We can’t hate the MSM nearly enough.
👍👍👍👍👍

Omgosh!! Right??? I love it. Great idea!

Just saying.

Do both. Just sayin’.
It is all locked to the child until 18, then they may use it for further education or a home down payment.

Thank you!
Get the kids signed up. We signed up our 2 grand kids July 6th
Educate yourself, but as I recall
1. If born after Jan 1, 25 = $1000
2. Under age 10 and in a zip code where median income is under $150k = $250 (1st 25 million active accounts. Thanks Susan Dell Foundation)
3. Age 11 - 13 and lower income household. 1 share of spaceX stock = about $160 (thx spaceX President Gwynne Shotwell)
And several other federal, philanthropic, and employer contributions available (Ray Dalio / Brad Gerstner)
My kids opened accounts for their children and sent me the links (at my request) so we can contribute for birthdays and Christmas. They all said it was incredibly easy to start their kids’ accounts. Good, user-friendly website.

Good for you!
Pretty solid info here. (good general YouTube retirement planning source. Along with Rob Berger and Kevin Lum)
https://youtu.be/FBnTxJcU4xo?is=7wFXo17JZKFAIOI3
Thanks for the info!
What are the Polymarket odds on that kid being invited to the White House?
Hmm, what are the odds he's already been?
He has been ID'ed. Rylan Ferguson, a University of Alabama student. Future stand-up comic. Former (and current) class clown. 🤡🤣
Nice work! (It's Rylan tho, lots of media getting it wrong.) And hilariously, Inside Edition says they "tracked him down and interviewed him" (and quote him as saying he absolutely was not mocking Trump, he was pumped and amazed, it was an honor...) but they don't show the interview! https://www.tiktok.com/@insideedition/video/7665813068424826125
Now that Rylan has expressed support for Trump, the media's elation will subside, and they will quickly sweep it under the rug. Rylan said he would love to meet the President. I'm sure he will.
Exactly! They're probably all scrambling to pull down their posts... sigh...
So it was Barron?
And watch for TrumpIRA to kick off 2027
-designed to target low-middle income families
-under $71k income ... Contribute $2k to a Trad IRA and get up to $1k government match ANNUALLY.
-can use an existing IRA. (but not a ROTH, although some how supposedly ROTH conts will count, but the fed match will have to go into a Trad IRA)
- joint filers can get up to $2k fed funds annually ($1k each)
Time to go to Fido and open Trad IRAs
I keep wondering if these accounts are intended to gradually replace social security. As you mention this new IRA makes more sense this may be the end game over time.
If there are plans to crash the stock market, this will give them pause for the potential for even more money to be stolen.

Now I want a leopard print bathrobe - my 25 year old hot pink Victoria Secret robe is about to retire.
It’s Ugg and it was a Christmas gift from my daughters. However much they spent on it, it was worth it.😂😂😂
Somehow a leopard print bathrobe on Jenna is completely unsurprising.
RAWWWWWRRRR.
LOL. (Good Lord, wait till the responses and likes roll in, and my wife is WTH!!! And she's thinking JennY McCarthy. I'm so dead.)
Of course, the first like rolls in from Jenna!
I don't care what they say about you Jenna, you've got class!
Thank you!
"See honey! JennA! Jenn-A! Not Jenny!"
"Wait, what? YOU want a leopard print bath robe? (grumble)
Okay. FINE!"
Jenna, thanks for posting this! Oh the stupid media😂... so... my mother LOVED leopard print (had an actual leopard skin coat which I wore in HS until it wasn't cool anymore 😉) so it seems my 6yo granddaughter who never met my mother is channeling her love of leopard! My daughter and I love it.
Is Ugg the brand name?
Yup, like the boots. :)
Did you get the boots to match the robe?
😂
Hey! I wanna jump on this train…I’m wearing the Ugg slippers my daughter gave me years ago!
Daryce… I have that pink robe , no joke 😆🤣🤣
Hahaha!
🤣
It is absolutely true that Trump haters will not get a Trump account for their babies. Neither his parents nor his grandmother (who is my sister) will get one for Baby Alexander. I am gobsmacked.

The others, hobbled by parents with TDS, will hear this and total up their student loans, future barista jobs (no offense, I salute good baristas) and general lack of prospects, and will ask their parents why they didn’t sign them up and “who is this Trump guy?
And the gap will widen because TDS. Just nuts. Smh.
Jan, 🎯
I wonder what Alexander will say one day when his friends have a chunk of money that he doesn’t have.
And Alexander is hearing from his high school buddies whose parents DID open an account. Talk about a whole ‘nuther category of childhood trauma.
I hope he will ask them why they were so fearful of free money, something all Democrats say they want. It's all so maddening.
Same here. On son did. The other refuses.
Again, Wow. Hard to believe people are so mentally deranged they would make things more difficult for their own child.
Hopefully, they open one for them with their own retirement accounts at least.
Oddly enough, both his parents have jobs with guaranteed benefits. Alexander better hope he can find employment like his parents have. And they will end up regretting their decision not to let their baby have an account since now they will be on the hook for his tuition should he decide to go to college!
Such madness on their side. Smh.
Wow. They really have some deep mental illness. Hope baby Alexander's other grand parents are not sick in the head and open one for him.
So funny! And the Trump account is brilliant! I love that the Dems will bite off their nose to spite their face. And I love the guy imitating Trump!
Ordering sticker immediately! Umm.. I'm a subscriber, but I still see the always amusing sales pitches, please don't take them away:)
LOL I thought it just said "subscribed" in that spot! THANK YOU also! :)
Same, same. 😁

Wouldn't be surprised if this was a Trump administration setup. Trump knows exactly how to get attention.
"...this was a Trump administration setup"
THANK YOU Curtis!
I am always surprised when the masses don't see the staging and setup.
This highlights the first reason why I vote for Trump: He handles the liberal media masterfully and I predict this characteristic will be recorded history forever.
Jenna, I love this one: If we renamed unemployment “Trump Assistance,” we could probably wipe out the national debt by Labor Day.
It’s not a bad idea, right? 😂
Hey, let's put welfare (Trump Aid), SNAP (Trump Yummies), Sec 8 (Trump housing) and unemployment (Trump Hire Me) all under there!!!!!!!! And just for the liberal heads exploding moments to film - Soc Security (Trump Aged) and Medicare (Trump Medical). LMAOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
