President Trump announced that all children under 18 in America would be automatically enrolled into his Trump Account savings program, bringing the total number to 70 million. Since its launch in July, nearly 8 million accounts have been created and over $4.5 billion has been deposited. However, parents or guardians must claim these accounts for their children to receive government benefits like a one-time federal deposit of $1,000. Trump touted this initiative as one of his most important achievements during his presidency.

Story summary
President Trump announced that all children under 18 in the US would be automatically enrolled into his "Trump Account," a savings account initiative. Since launching on July 4th, nearly 8 million accounts have been created within three months, and today's announcement extends this to cover over 70 million children, or virtually every child in America. Over $4.5 billion has already been deposited into these accounts since the program began.
However, for a child to receive the government’s $1,000 seed contribution and benefit from parental management, parents must claim the account through the Trump Account mobile app. During his announcement in the Oval Office, Trump handed out challenge coins to some children present and made off-script comments about one parent potentially running for office, leading to an awkward moment.
Critics note that while the accounts offer potential financial benefits, they are essentially standard savings vehicles with no unique features beyond automatic enrollment, drawing skepticism over their true impact.
