President Trump visits Georgia to promote new "Trump Accounts" investment program for children

President Trump visited Wheeler High School in Marietta, Georgia, to promote "Trump Accounts," a new federal investment program providing a $1,000 tax-free seed for every child born between 2025 and 2028. The administration announced that these accounts, which function similarly to an IRA, allow parents and employers to contribute up to $5,000 annually until a child turns 18. During the event, President Trump dismissed the term "affordability" as a Democratic talking point, instead highlighting his administration's efforts to lower costs. He also endorsed Republican Senate candidate Mike Collins, while criticizing Democratic opponent Jon Ossoff. The president addressed various economic factors, including the ongoing Iran war and the impact of inflation on gasoline prices. While the administration praised the accounts as a way to give children a "head start," some Democrats argued that the program primarily benefits wealthy Americans. Additionally, President Trump used the visit to push for the passage of the SAVE America Act, a legislative priority aimed at ensuring election integrity by requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote.
