Dell family to donate $6.25B to fund “Trump accounts” for children

Michael and Susan Dell announced Tuesday that they have committed $6.25 billion to fund investment accounts for some 25 million American children. 

The couple's donation will be the largest ever devoted to American children, according to Invest America, a nonprofit advocacy group partnered with the Dells.

"It's designed to help families feel supported from the start and encourage them to keep saving as their children grow," Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, told CNBC in an interview. "We know that when children have accounts like this, they're much more likely to graduate from high school, from college, buy a home, start a business and less likely to be incarcerated."

The Dells' commitment goes hand in hand with a new federal government program that allows parents to open tax-advantaged investment accounts for children under 18 with Social Security numbers. Under the federal program, U.S. citizens born from the beginning of 2025 through 2028 will receive a federal grant of $1,000 to seed those so-called Trump accounts. Parents will be able to open and contribute to these accounts starting on July 4, 2026, with IRS guidance yet to be issued.

The Dells have committed to seed Trump accounts with $250 for children who are 10 or under who were born before Jan. 1, 2025. According to Invest America, the pledged funds will cover 25 million children age 10 and under in ZIP codes with a median income of $150,000 or less.

The extra savings means kids will be able to afford higher tuitions and colleges and Universities will raise their prices accordingly

Yeah right, I’ll believe it when I see it. He’s haemorrhaging support left, right and centre, anything to try and make this idiot look better to his base. They’re scared shi***** all those who have supported him when they lose the House and Senate next year and hopefully the 2028 election. This time around, if the Dems win, there have to be consequences and I want to see as many of this lunatic’s sycophants behind bars for life or as Khia says…

 

 

P.S. That MRI ain’t looking good Don, tick tick…

It's using federal money to prop up the stock market. That's what it's for: a gift to Wall Street. The kid account thing is incidental.

BTW this is a pilot program for converting Social Security into a stock market fund. Wet dream of Wall Streeters.

I hope that's dark enough for ya.

Bc said money will definitely be given to people who don’t need it. It will further divide the upper and lower class driving lower into poverty.
