The proposal, dubbed \u201cTrump Accounts,\u201d would grant every American baby born within a specific four-year period a $1,000 government-funded investment account, tethered directly to stock market performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporters envision a generation entering adulthood with tangible financial footing, a buffer against the rising costs of education, housing, and economic uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
