Cheers, Chants and 'No Kings' Signs Greet Trump in East Cobb
Trump used the school rally to promote government-backed investment accounts for families with young children while also attacking political rivals and discussing national issues.
- On Wednesday, July 22, 2026, President Donald Trump visited Wheeler High School in Cobb County, Georgia, to promote "Trump Accounts," tax-advantaged savings accounts for families with children.
- The initiative provides $1,000 to each child born in Trump's second term, with parents, grandparents, and employers able to contribute up to $5,000 annually to these accounts.
- Republican gubernatorial nominee Rick Jackson promised Georgia would match the initial $1,000 contribution, stating, "I believe our legislature will approve that, if they dont I will personally donate it myself."
- Student Reid Bauer and organizer Stacey Parlotto protested outside Cobb County High School, arguing "our tax dollars should not be going towards a political rally being held in one of our neighborhood public high school."
- Trump's visit occurs as Republicans face pressure on economic issues ahead of midterm elections; the President also addressed broader topics including the war in Iran during his remarks.
