"Already, more than 6 million Americans have signed up for Trump accounts—and we've just started—many of which are receiving a one-time seed contribution of $1,000.... the Trump Accounts could grow to hundreds of thousands of dollars by the time they reach 18," he said.
Trump accounts are investment accounts funded by the U.S. Treasury for Americans born under his term. Private contributions have swelled, with billionaires like Dell CEO Michael Dell, making major contributions to help fund additional accounts.
The funds will be invested and made available to the account owner when they turn 18.
