Trump Says White House Is Exploring Trump Accounts for Adults
Supporters say the expansion could give nearly 100 million Americans a new way to save for homes, debt and retirement, according to Gerstner.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump said in the Oval Office that his administration is exploring a version of Trump Accounts for adults, calling the existing child-focused program "one of the most successful things people have seen ever in government."
- Currently, Trump Accounts are tax-advantaged investment vehicles available to Americans under 18, with children born between 2025 and 2028 eligible for a $1,000 federal seed contribution that becomes traditional IRAs at age 18.
- Brad Gerstner, the architect of Trump Accounts, is pushing to expand the program to every American under 40, though he said the change would require new legislation rather than a regulatory rule change.
- Elon Musk pledged to give American children a financial stake in SpaceX next year, a giveaway worth nearly $11 billion; Gerstner suggested this model could create a "vessel" for employer and philanthropist contributions to adult accounts.
- Gerstner is drafting legislation to make these accounts available to anyone under 40 within months, though the proposal's prospects in Congress, including potential costs and lawmaker support, remain unclear.
