Launching July 2025, 'Trump Accounts' will gift $1,000 to American babies born from 2025-2028, turning toddlers into tiny capitalists overnight. Wall Street’s finest—from Bank of New York Mellon’s Robin Vince to Charles Schwab’s Rick Wurster—are matching the $1,000 government starter, like a financial group cuddle party. Even Chipotle, yes, the burrito joint, throws cash at infant vape investment dreams. Political nonprofit Turning Point USA pitches in while mourning Charlie Kirk, showing capitalism really runs in the family. IBM sweetens the pot by adding another $1,000 if you pony up $4,000 within two years, proving if you pay to play, your baby might just HODL for real. CEO Harold Hamm and tech titan Intel jump on the Trump Train to pump 'future innovators' with cash, making it rain like it’s the 1920s but with more spreadsheets and fewer flappers.
