President Trump Delivers Remarks on Trump Accounts

[00:00:07] Ladies and gentlemen, the 45th and 47th [00:00:10] president of the United States, Donald [00:00:12] J. Trump. And I'm proud to [music] be an [00:00:16] American where at least I [singing] know [00:00:19] I'm free. And [music] I won't forget the [00:00:22] men who died, who gave that right to me. [00:00:26] And [music] I gladly stand up next to [00:00:30] you and defend [music] her still today. [00:00:34] Cuz there ain't [singing] no doubt I [00:00:36] love this land. [00:00:39] God [music and singing] bless the USA. [00:00:54] From the lakes [music] of Minnesota [00:00:57] to the hills of Tennessee, [00:01:01] across [singing] the plains of Texas, [00:01:04] from sea [music] to shining sea, [00:01:07] from Detroit down to Houston [music] [00:01:10] and New York to LA, where there's pride [00:01:15] in [music and singing] every American [00:01:16] heart. And it's time we stand and say [00:01:21] [music] [00:01:24] that I'm proud to be an American where [00:01:27] at least I know [music and singing] I'm [00:01:29] free. And I won't forget the men who [00:01:33] died, who gave that [music] right to me. [00:01:36] And I gladly [singing] stand up next to [00:01:40] you and defend her still today. [00:01:44] Cuz there ain't [music and singing] no [00:01:45] doubt I love this land. [00:01:49] God bless the USA. [music] [00:01:57] And I'm proud [music] to be an American [00:02:01] where at least I know I'm free. [music] [00:02:04] And I won't forget the men who died, who [00:02:08] gave that right to me. [music] And I [00:02:11] gladly stand up. [00:02:14] next to you and defend her still today. [00:02:19] Cuz there ain't no [music and singing] [00:02:20] doubt I love this land. [00:02:24] God [music] bless the US. [00:02:33] [singing] [00:02:37] All right, let's get down to business. [00:02:38] That's enough of that. But how good is [00:02:41] Lee Greenwood? He was with us right from [00:02:43] the beginning. First time I walked onto [00:02:45] the stage, I heard that song. I liked [00:02:47] it. I said, "Let's use it." That was 10 [00:02:50] years ago. And he's been with us all the [00:02:52] way. Fantastic guy. [00:02:55] There's never been a man that made so [00:02:58] much money from one song ever. [00:03:00] [laughter] [00:03:01] And I'm happy about it. But I'm [00:03:04] delighted to be back in the beautiful [00:03:06] Melon Auditorium. Wonderful family. Tim [00:03:10] Melon is a great guy. [00:03:12] He's the current version of the Melons. [00:03:15] A fantastic person to celebrate a [00:03:18] thrilling new milestone for America. The [00:03:20] first generation of Trump account [00:03:23] children. Trump account children. For [00:03:26] the first time ever, we're going to give [00:03:28] every newborn American child a financial [00:03:30] stake in the future. Head started life [00:03:33] and a fair shot at the American dream. [00:03:37] Something people don't talk about so [00:03:38] much. At least not for the last four [00:03:40] years. They haven't been, but now [00:03:42] they're talking about it big. This last [00:03:44] period of time, it's been unbelievable. [00:03:47] You see what's going on with our [00:03:49] economy, the tremendous investments [00:03:51] that's been made in our country. We have [00:03:54] over $18 trillion coming in. The most, I [00:03:57] think, was three. That was 10 years ago. [00:03:59] Another country, not even our country. [00:04:01] We have $18 trillion. And we have [00:04:04] thousands of businesses being built all [00:04:06] over the country and hundreds of massive [00:04:09] plants. So big car plants, AI plants. [00:04:13] With the support of the men and women [00:04:15] here and this beautiful room over the [00:04:18] next 15 years, we're going to put three [00:04:21] to four trillion dollars of wealth into [00:04:24] the hands of young Americans who [00:04:26] otherwise would have really started out [00:04:28] with nothing. It's really an amazing [00:04:30] thing because it gives young children [00:04:33] that start out with really nothing and [00:04:36] it gives them boy it's more money than [00:04:40] anybody could imagine from their [00:04:42] standpoint they'll have a real start in [00:04:44] life and that's why decades from now I [00:04:47] believe the Trump accounts will be [00:04:49] remembered as one of the most [00:04:50] transformative policy innovations of all [00:04:53] time and I've done a lot of them the tax [00:04:55] cuts we've done a lot of them more than [00:04:57] I think anybody and I I think this is [00:04:59] going to be one of the most outstanding. [00:05:01] Last summer, I signed the great big [00:05:04] beautiful bill delivering. [00:05:08] [applause] [00:05:10] It made this possible, too. It actually [00:05:12] made this possible. Without it, we [00:05:14] wouldn't have been able to do this. [00:05:16] Delivering the largest tax cuts in [00:05:18] American history, including no tax on [00:05:20] tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on [00:05:23] social security for our great seniors. [00:05:26] And you know, we did another thing. When [00:05:28] you buy a car now, you get a deduction [00:05:31] on the interest payment if you borrow [00:05:32] money. So, think of it. Rich people get [00:05:35] so many deductions. I'm the king of [00:05:37] deductions. I love deductions. [00:05:40] But people, middle- inome people never [00:05:42] had a deduction before. Now, they're [00:05:43] getting a deduction on interest. They [00:05:45] buy a car. That's going to have a huge [00:05:46] impact on the automobile. By the way, [00:05:49] there's one proviso. It has to be made [00:05:51] in America. If the car is made in [00:05:54] another country, no thank you. [00:05:57] But they're all going to be made in [00:05:58] America pretty soon because we have [00:06:00] factories coming in from Canada, Mexico, [00:06:04] Japan, Germany, all over Europe. They're [00:06:06] all coming here to make their cars [00:06:08] because they don't want to pay tariffs. [00:06:09] Very simple. It wasn't very complicated. [00:06:12] You'll see those numbers starting to [00:06:14] produce. That's why you see these [00:06:16] massive construction numbers. And soon [00:06:18] when those things start opening, you're [00:06:20] going to see you're going to see [00:06:22] employment and you're going to see [00:06:23] wealth creation for middle inome people [00:06:26] like you've never seen before. Every [00:06:29] single Democrat in Congress voted to [00:06:31] raise taxes on hardworking citizens. [00:06:34] Their whole campaign was raise taxes. [00:06:36] I've never heard of it before. All my [00:06:38] life I grew up and I I hear politicians, [00:06:41] we will cut taxes. We This is the only [00:06:43] group I've ever seen. We're going to [00:06:44] raise your taxes. [00:06:46] No wonder they lost. [00:06:49] Actually, there were other reasons also. [00:06:52] But together with the majorities in the [00:06:54] House and Senate, we overcame their [00:06:56] obstruction and we put more money into [00:06:59] the pockets of every working American [00:07:01] than anyone thought even imaginable. [00:07:05] Perhaps no provision of the Great Big [00:07:07] Beautiful bill will prove more [00:07:10] consequential than Trump accounts. Under [00:07:13] this program, the US government will [00:07:15] automatically create a tax-free [00:07:17] investment account for every newborn [00:07:19] American child. Something that [00:07:22] nobody really would have even thought [00:07:25] of. There were some brilliant people [00:07:27] that thought of it for a long time. [00:07:28] They're here with us today. We're going [00:07:30] to introduce a couple of them, but [00:07:32] nobody really I mean I've had friends [00:07:34] that top people in business. They came [00:07:36] up to me whose idea was this? This is [00:07:38] great. They never thought they said I [00:07:40] never thought of that. We'll fund those [00:07:43] personal accounts with a seed [00:07:45] contribution of $1,000 which will [00:07:48] compound and grow over the course of [00:07:50] their lives and could grow it to very [00:07:52] very substantial numbers. [00:07:54] Parents, employers, churches, states, [00:07:57] and loved ones will also be able to add [00:07:59] up to $5,000 in additional money for [00:08:01] those accounts. And with every modest [00:08:04] contribution, Trump account should reach [00:08:06] at least $50,000 in value by the time [00:08:11] the child turns 18 and could be very [00:08:14] substantially more than that. With [00:08:16] slightly greater contributions, the [00:08:18] typical account will grow to 100,000, [00:08:21] 200,000 and can even grow up to past [00:08:24] $300,000 per child. [00:08:27] And uh we think most likely the most [00:08:29] likely case is in the 200,000 300,000 [00:08:33] range. The size and scale of this wealth [00:08:36] will dwarf all government programs ever [00:08:39] created to benefit America's youth. [00:08:41] There's never been anything like this. [00:08:42] That's why everybody's talking about it. [00:08:45] Even really people that truly hate me [00:08:47] are making this investment. One person [00:08:50] hates my gut. He spent put a billion [00:08:53] dollars into it. [00:08:55] They said, "You must like this program a [00:08:57] lot because you can't stand me." I said, [00:08:58] 'I do, but I do like you more than you [00:09:00] think. [00:09:02] They like me more in the last year than [00:09:04] they liked me before. Although we had a [00:09:07] great first term, can't forget that we [00:09:09] had the greatest economy in the history [00:09:10] of our country, but this is blowing it [00:09:13] away. So, [00:09:16] [applause] [00:09:17] every president, thank you. Every [00:09:20] president in modern history has left our [00:09:22] children with nothing but debt. [00:09:25] But under this administration, we're [00:09:27] going to leave every child with real [00:09:29] assets and a shot at financial freedom. [00:09:33] We'll ensure that Americans don't just [00:09:36] end their lives with a nest egg, but [00:09:37] instead all Americans will begin their [00:09:39] lives with a beautiful nest egg. There's [00:09:42] never been anything quite like this. I [00:09:45] want to express my tremendous gratitude [00:09:47] to a very special couple who believe so [00:09:50] strongly in this vision right from the [00:09:52] beginning that they personally donated [00:09:55] 625 [00:09:57] billion that's 6 billion250 even the 250 [00:10:00] is a lot of money when you think I mean [00:10:03] you know two Nikki do you hear that [00:10:05] money that's big even compared to [00:10:06] rapping all the money she makes she's [00:10:08] here she's hearing a number like that [00:10:11] she say how many songs do I have to make [00:10:12] to catch that [00:10:14] But amazing uh amazing thing, $6 bill250 [00:10:20] million to fund Trump accounts for an [00:10:23] additional 25 million children age 10 [00:10:27] and under. And that's Michael and Susan [00:10:30] Dell. Two incredible people. Where are [00:10:32] you, Michael? Where's Michael? [00:10:34] [applause] Stand up. Michael, what a [00:10:37] great guy. [00:10:39] What a great guy. [00:10:42] [applause] [00:10:44] You know, I tell you, he didn't do it [00:10:46] for his business. He did it, I guess, [00:10:48] probably would have been better off not [00:10:50] to. That's a lot. But you know what? I [00:10:52] hope everybody goes out and buys Dell [00:10:54] computers. My son, I told you, Baron, he [00:10:56] loves that computer. I don't know what [00:10:58] the hell you're doing to it, but he [00:10:59] likes it. But I just want to thank you [00:11:01] very much. And Susan, it's uh [00:11:04] unbelievable. Really unbelievable [00:11:07] what you've done. So, Michael and Susan [00:11:10] made this donation in recognition of [00:11:12] America's 250th anniversary because [00:11:15] there's no better way to honor America's [00:11:17] history than to invest in America's [00:11:19] future. That's what they did. And this [00:11:22] is perhaps the largest, one of the [00:11:24] largest certainly, but perhaps the [00:11:26] largest private donations of all time. [00:11:28] That's a lot. 6 billion, 250 million. [00:11:32] And uh somebody did say that a friend of [00:11:34] mine very rich he's going to put up a [00:11:35] hundred million dollars and he said you [00:11:39] know think of it the 250 that Michael [00:11:41] has is a lot more than mine and I [00:11:44] haven't even talked about the six [00:11:45] billion but anyway it's amazing when [00:11:48] Michael can start off with very little [00:11:50] money and build a fortune where he can [00:11:52] you know routinely make such a payment [00:11:55] and investment in the youth of our [00:11:58] country. Michael you're great. Thank you [00:12:00] man. Thank you. [00:12:03] [applause] [00:12:06] And I also want to say hello to and [00:12:08] thank some very special people that have [00:12:10] been with my administration and really [00:12:12] become friends of mine. On occasion I [00:12:14] have little arguments but uh generally I [00:12:18] would say really good and who's doing [00:12:20] and start off with a man who's doing a [00:12:22] phenomenal job. Treasury Secretary Scott [00:12:25] Besson. Scott. Thank you very much [00:12:28] Scott. [applause] [00:12:29] And he loved this right from the [00:12:31] beginning, Scott. Right. He saw this and [00:12:33] he said, "Wow, what a great idea that [00:12:35] is. This is, you know, hundreds of [00:12:36] thousands of dollars by the time they [00:12:38] reach 18, but we can go 21. They can [00:12:41] keep it in longer." But, uh, he saw this [00:12:44] right right from the beginning. He said, [00:12:45] "Wow, this is great." And we have some [00:12:48] other ideas that will be great. But this [00:12:50] was one that just hit everybody. This [00:12:52] was an easy one to think about. And [00:12:54] again, that bill allowed us to do this. [00:12:57] Otherwise, can you imagine trying to get [00:12:58] this approved by Democrats and [00:13:00] Republicans? Let's get together. We got [00:13:03] it done. Also, a man who's made your [00:13:06] life much easier because those of you [00:13:09] that are building plants and equipment [00:13:11] so you can give your money ultimately, [00:13:12] you're giving your money away anyway, no [00:13:14] matter how much you make. But, uh, he's [00:13:17] made it a lot easier. You know, [00:13:19] approvals for big plants used to take 20 [00:13:21] years, 25 years, and then you'd get [00:13:24] rejected. Actually, you'd go 20 years [00:13:27] environmentally and they'd reject you. [00:13:29] You finally, if I think of it, a guy [00:13:31] starts young. He starts an approval [00:13:32] process. By the time he's middle-aged, [00:13:35] they take a vote and he loses. It's not [00:13:37] worth it. But we have a man that's [00:13:39] getting these things done in a matter of [00:13:40] weeks. And the biggest plants in the [00:13:43] world are being built right now, and [00:13:44] he's getting them done fast. He's [00:13:46] getting electric plants built so that we [00:13:48] can buy them. They're paying for them. [00:13:50] They want to pay for them so they can [00:13:52] open up their AI plants and they can [00:13:55] open up their automobile plants and [00:13:58] lesser. So the automobiles, believe it [00:13:59] or not, take much less electricity. [00:14:02] You're going to have to tell me why you [00:14:03] need so much electricity to create [00:14:08] information. I said, "What's your [00:14:10] primary product?" Information. Oh, I [00:14:12] see. Information. It better be damn good [00:14:15] information for the kind of money. But, [00:14:18] uh, Lee Zeldon is a star and he has been [00:14:22] incredible. Thank you, Lee. [00:14:25] [applause] [00:14:26] And, you know, uh, I have to say this, [00:14:28] uh, Scott and I were talking about it. [00:14:30] So, Lee went out to California after the [00:14:32] fire, which would have never happened if [00:14:34] they would have let the water flow from [00:14:36] the Pacific Northwest, which everybody's [00:14:38] been telling them, including me. Now, I [00:14:39] just opened it up. We literally sent in [00:14:41] the military to open it up. But if they [00:14:44] would have let you wouldn't have had the [00:14:45] fires because you would have had a [00:14:48] little thing called oldfashioned way [00:14:50] water in the fire hydrants as opposed to [00:14:53] empty fire hydrants. You would have had [00:14:54] water in most of the houses had the [00:14:56] sprinklers on top. No, there was no [00:14:58] water in their sprinkler in their living [00:15:00] room. All those fires wouldn't have [00:15:02] started. But they did start. And I will [00:15:05] say that uh Lee, the most difficult [00:15:08] permit was Lee. I went there a couple of [00:15:10] days after the fire. met so many people [00:15:12] on the streets were many cases fairly [00:15:15] wealthy people some very rich people [00:15:17] some of the best houses in California [00:15:19] burned down and I said to him uh so what [00:15:22] do you want to do they sir we want to [00:15:24] start immediately immediately well we'll [00:15:25] get you permits now the hardest [00:15:26] permanently was the federal permit is [00:15:29] that right he got everything done in 20 [00:15:31] days right the whole thing is that a [00:15:33] correct statement or less [00:15:36] >> 20 days so he got everything done 100% [00:15:40] ready to Well, and I went for a meeting [00:15:43] and this mayor who's a grossly [00:15:45] incompetent person, she said, "We're [00:15:48] going to try and have the permits done [00:15:49] within two years." Remember that? I got [00:15:51] into an argu I said, "You mean within [00:15:53] two days, right?" She said, "No." And [00:15:55] I'm meeting all these people as I'm [00:15:57] walking along the streets with the fire [00:15:58] departments and the policemen and [00:16:01] they're all devastated. You know, the [00:16:03] the they're still smoldering, but they [00:16:06] weren't even allowed to go in there. The [00:16:07] Environmental Protection Agency local [00:16:10] said, "Don't go on your property." Okay? [00:16:12] We said, "Okay, don't worry about any [00:16:15] any problem is gone. Any problem is [00:16:17] burned. Any germs are burned. They're [00:16:20] burned. They were burned. Nobody's ever [00:16:22] seen anything like it." But all so [00:16:25] unnecessary that it happened. But we got [00:16:27] it all done in 20 days. The whole place. [00:16:30] And yet now, still more than a year [00:16:32] later, they don't have permits. Almost [00:16:34] nobody is building. So, I haven't told [00:16:37] this to Lee Zeldon yet, but I'm going to [00:16:41] put you in charge of getting permits. I [00:16:44] think we're going to override the local [00:16:46] authorities because they're never going [00:16:47] to they're never going to have it. [00:16:51] And when I was told that there's a [00:16:53] provision where you can lo override the [00:16:55] local authority to get things done case [00:16:58] of because it's really to me it's a [00:17:00] national emergency. What they've done to [00:17:02] these people is horrible. It's just [00:17:04] horrible. and they'll still vote [00:17:05] Democrat. Can you believe it? After all, [00:17:07] it's just they get used to it. Although [00:17:10] I must say we converted many. We'll [00:17:12] probably convert a lot more. But I just [00:17:14] want them to get into their houses. And [00:17:16] I don't want a big section of the area [00:17:18] built into lowincome housing. They want [00:17:20] to put lowincome housing right smack in [00:17:24] the middle of it. And uh that's not the [00:17:26] American dream. You know, you didn't do [00:17:29] that. And low-income housing is great. I [00:17:31] built a lot of low-income housing, but [00:17:33] you don't put it there. This is one of [00:17:34] the richest neighborhoods in the world [00:17:36] and we're going to let those people and [00:17:38] I recommended strongly that everybody [00:17:40] gets the approval, immediate approval to [00:17:42] build a house and you give them a 10% [00:17:44] bonus so they can build a house 10% [00:17:47] larger than they had before if they want [00:17:49] for all the suffering they've been [00:17:51] caused so they can build a little bit [00:17:53] bigger house. So Lee, if you want, will [00:17:55] you accept the job? [00:17:57] He's he's under a lot of stress. Okay. [00:18:01] All right. override those people. This [00:18:04] those people are incompetent between the [00:18:06] mayor and the governor. They're [00:18:07] incompetent. They'll never get They'll [00:18:09] never get approved. [00:18:11] They'll never get approved. So, do [00:18:13] whatever you can, Lee. There's a [00:18:14] provision that you're allowed to do it. [00:18:16] And we will I'll sign it in two seconds. [00:18:18] Frankly, they'll never ever It'll never [00:18:20] happen. I also want to uh introduce a [00:18:23] man, Frank Basigno. Now, if you met [00:18:29] Frank and if you knew Frank, he's quiet, [00:18:31] but he's actually a stone cold killer. [00:18:34] He was one of the biggest people in [00:18:36] business. He would been sitting with [00:18:37] you. In fact, now he's got a better seat [00:18:39] because he's working for the government. [00:18:40] He's the head of a lot of things, but [00:18:42] the job he's done in this country is [00:18:45] great. And he's uh working on social [00:18:49] security and a thing called the IRS. [00:18:51] He's working with Scott on both of them [00:18:53] really, but the IRS in particular. And [00:18:56] he is a fantastic man. Where are you, [00:18:58] Frank? Took the biggest pay cut in [00:19:00] history. [applause] He went from being [00:19:02] paid 35 million a year to being paid [00:19:05] about $35 a year. I think you may have [00:19:09] taken the biggest pay cut in history. [00:19:10] He'd be close. He'd be one of the top [00:19:12] five because a few people have done [00:19:15] that. Few of you, few billionaires have [00:19:17] sort of left. But Frank has gone from [00:19:20] one of the most successful people. Well, [00:19:22] he was a he worked with Jamie Diamond. I [00:19:25] don't think Jamie likes me too much [00:19:26] nowadays, but that's okay. I I never [00:19:29] minded that. But Frank, you are [00:19:31] fantastic and you're doing a great job. [00:19:33] We appreciate it. Thank you. And thank [00:19:34] you to their family. The director of [00:19:37] National Economic Council, a man who's [00:19:39] in the news a lot.

This guy, he played in the [00:20:09] NFL, I guess, for 11 years. He was [00:20:11] top-of-the-line player. I met him. I [00:20:13] said, "That's not a normal situation. [00:20:16] Look at this guy. This guy was seriously [00:20:19] powerful big and he's as nice as he is [00:20:21] big and she is one of our best senators. [00:20:24] Senator Katie Britt.

We don't [00:20:51] want to lose you in the Senate." But I [00:20:53] have to say, they're lucky. They're [00:20:54] lucky to get you because you are a you [00:20:56] are a talent and a great person and [00:20:58] you've been with me all the way, and I [00:21:00] appreciate it.

[00:21:12] You wouldn't believe that because we [00:21:13] went through a rough campaign together. [00:21:15] It was nasty. We got along so well and [00:21:18] everybody we actually did joint rallies. [00:21:20] Can you believe it? He wanted to get [00:21:22] somebody action. So he's smart. He said, [00:21:24] "Would you do a rally with me?" But we [00:21:27] we did joint rallies and the press used [00:21:28] to say, "Will you ever, you know, start [00:21:31] fighting?" I said, "Don't worry, it'll [00:21:33] come." He said the same thing. "Don't [00:21:34] worry, it'll come." He's a very tough [00:21:37] guy, very brilliant guy. In fact, when I [00:21:39] said, you know, because I had never gone [00:21:40] into a debate before officially. My [00:21:42] whole life was a debate, but I'd never [00:21:44] debated before officially. And I I said, [00:21:47] "Let me find out about my competition. [00:21:50] Who are these people?" Because many of [00:21:52] them, you know, they were senators and [00:21:53] mostly senators and governors. And uh I [00:21:57] said, "Well, why don't we start with [00:21:58] this guy named Ted Cruz? Let me, you [00:22:01] know, give me Well, he was the best [00:22:02] student at Harvard, number one in his [00:22:05] class. He was the best student at [00:22:06] Princeton or something. And he was the [00:22:09] national debate champion for three [00:22:11] years. [00:22:12] And I said, 'Well, I don't like that. I [00:22:14] didn't know that. I don't like that. And [00:22:17] he was very good debater. I will tell [00:22:19] you that. It was smart guy. But uh I'll [00:22:21] never forget because he was the first [00:22:23] one I looked at.

Wow. [00:25:05] married to a very, very powerful, [00:25:07] important man. And I said, "I'll tell [00:25:11] you, Bobby, she's strong." I watched her [00:25:14] in an interview. I said, "Bobby, [00:25:16] you keep him in line, don't you?" She [00:25:19] said, "Yes, I do." She's got no choice. [00:25:21] He's doing He's doing a great job, and [00:25:23] so are you. [00:25:24] >> Yeah, he's doing a great job. He's doing [00:25:26] a very different kind of a job, too. And [00:25:28] he's doing things that people have [00:25:30] wanted to do for a long time, and they [00:25:33] didn't. They didn't have the courage. [00:25:34] So, say hello to Bobby. Okay. [snorts] [00:25:37] We're also pleased. Uh my daughter, she [00:25:39] went crazy when she heard that this was [00:25:42] I want to go. You know, she happens to [00:25:43] be in the wrong state right now for [00:25:45] that, but when she heard that there's a [00:25:47] certain person that's here who's the [00:25:50] greatest and most successful female [00:25:52] rapper in history, Nicki Minaj. Come on. [00:25:56] And you know, [00:25:58] [applause] [00:26:01] and Nikki makes a lot of cash. Not as [00:26:04] much as Michael Dell. Not quite. Not as [00:26:07] much, but that's okay. But Nikki makes a [00:26:10] lot of money and she's generously [00:26:12] stepping up. She's investing hundreds of [00:26:14] thousands of dollars in Trump accounts [00:26:16] to support the children. And really, [00:26:19] really the children of her incredible [00:26:21] fans. That's great. Focus on that. Why [00:26:23] should you give to somebody else's fans? [00:26:25] Give to your fans. I like that. But uh [00:26:28] and and I just think she's great. You [00:26:30] know, I've been hearing so much over the [00:26:32] years cuz I didn't know Nikki and I've [00:26:34] been hearing over the years she's a big [00:26:35] Trump supporter and a Trump fan and she [00:26:38] took a little heat on occasion. Her [00:26:40] community isn't necessarily I tell you [00:26:42] we did pretty damn well with it with [00:26:44] your community as we as we say. But uh [00:26:48] Nikki has been an unbelievable [00:26:51] supporter. She gets more she gets almost [00:26:53] as much as Mr. wonderful over here. He's [00:26:56] been another one that's been so good. [00:26:57] But uh I'd like to ask you to come up, [00:27:00] Nikki. Come on up. Come on. [cheering] [00:27:03] She's been such a great supporter and a [00:27:06] great supporter of Trump accounts. [00:27:10] [cheering] [00:27:12] [applause] [00:27:13] And I said, I'm going to let my nails [00:27:16] grow because I love those nails. I'm [00:27:18] gonna I'm gonna let those nails grow.

And just want to [00:27:36] thank her. [00:27:38] And it wasn't so easy for you. It was [00:27:40] easier, right? Want to come up? You want [00:27:43] to come up, Mr. Mr. Wonderful?

[00:28:17] Uh, [00:28:19] well, I don't know what to say, but I [00:28:21] will say that um [00:28:25] I am probably the president's number one [00:28:30] fan [00:28:32] [cheering] [00:28:32] [applause] [00:28:34] and that's not going to change. And the [00:28:38] the hate or what people have to say, it [00:28:42] does not affect me at all. It actually [00:28:45] motivates me to support him more [00:28:47] [cheering] [00:28:48] and it's going to motivate all of us to [00:28:50] support him more. We're not going to let [00:28:52] them get away with bullying him and you [00:28:55] know the smear campaigns. It's not going [00:28:57] to work. Okay? He has a lot of force [00:29:01] behind him and God is protecting him. [00:29:06] Amen. [00:29:09] [applause] [00:29:15] Okay. [00:29:17] >> Thank you. Thank you.

We love policy, pro business [00:29:41] policy and these accounts are fantastic [00:29:43] for independence and support. I thank [00:29:45] you very much. It's all about the [00:29:48] entrepreneur and I think you know that [00:29:50] sir. [00:29:51] >> Thank you very [applause] [00:29:56] much. [applause] [00:30:00] >> Well, that was great. A little [00:30:02] interlude. I don't know. That's better [00:30:03] than getting Scott Bessent up. [00:30:10] Thank you both very much. Two terrific [00:30:13] people. When Trump accounts officially [00:30:16] launch on July 4th of this year, every [00:30:18] parent will be able to activate their [00:30:21] accounts and access the funds at the [00:30:24] trumpaccounts.gov. [00:30:26] So, it's all set up, all ready to go. [00:30:29] It's beautiful. The site is beautiful. [00:30:32] On that glorious day, we also expect to [00:30:34] have commitments from generous private [00:30:37] individuals in all 50 states. And [00:30:39] they'll be making additional [00:30:41] contributions for children in their own [00:30:43] states. And already legendary investor [00:30:46] Ray Dallio has pledged to adopt the [00:30:49] entire state of Connecticut. That's [00:30:51] pretty good, Michael. [00:30:53] And thank you very much, Ray. Great [00:30:55] legend. And today, one of the original [00:30:58] advocates of this program has agreed to [00:31:01] adopt his home state of Indiana, Brad [00:31:03] Gersner. And Brad's here someplace. [00:31:06] Where's Brad? Come on. I think Michael [00:31:09] and Brad, would you come up here, [00:31:10] please? Come up here. I mean, this isn't [00:31:13] exactly Mr. Wonderful and Nikki, [00:31:17] but I think they might be worth more [00:31:18] money than Mr. Wonderful, right? These [00:31:21] guys are worth a lot of money. [00:31:24] But Brad is donating. Listen to this. [00:31:26] $250 [00:31:28] to Trump accounts for all children under [00:31:31] five in Indiana. So every children, all [00:31:34] the children under five. 250. And he'll [00:31:36] be donating tens of millions of dollars [00:31:39] more in matching contributions to [00:31:41] millions of ch children all across the [00:31:44] country. He's going to make a massive [00:31:45] donation. Already we know what it is. [00:31:48] Brad is not only one of the most [00:31:49] successful business people, he's the [00:31:51] founder of the Invest America Foundation [00:31:54] and he's been working on this idea for [00:31:56] years and he was the one he went over to [00:31:58] see Michael. Michael loved it and those [00:32:00] two were a hell of a team along with uh [00:32:03] Mrs. Dell who's been so great. Susan, I [00:32:07] also uh delighted to report that dozens [00:32:10] of major employers have signed up to add [00:32:13] the Trump account contributions to their [00:32:15] employee benefit packages, including [00:32:17] Uber, Schwab, Charter Communications, [00:32:20] and many, many others. And just today, [00:32:23] it was announced that Intel, Nvidia, [00:32:26] Broadcom, IBM, Stake and Shake, [00:32:28] Coinbase, Continental Resources, and [00:32:31] Comcast have all signed up for really [00:32:33] big contributions. So, I want to thank [00:32:35] them. I want to have you two guys come [00:32:37] on up. Would you say a couple of words? [00:32:40] Brad and Michael, would you say a couple [00:32:42] of words? That's fant. [00:32:44] >> Only Indiana. You can't do bigger. We [00:32:46] love Indiana, but you know, how about [00:32:47] Indiana, Iowa? [laughter] [00:32:49] No, we appreciate it. Big numbers. Thank [00:32:51] you. [00:32:52] >> Thank you. [00:32:54] >> Well, four years ago, we set off on a [00:32:56] journey to reconnect every child in [00:32:59] America with the American dream. This [00:33:02] president ran on a main street agenda [00:33:04] that too many people had been left out [00:33:06] and left behind. And his articulation of [00:33:10] no tax on tips, that doesn't help rich [00:33:12] folks, that helps those left out and [00:33:14] left behind. No tax on social security, [00:33:17] uh, no tax on overtime. And when Ted [00:33:20] Cruz authored the Invest America Act in [00:33:22] the Senate, um, and Michael Dell [00:33:25] partnered with me to bring the private [00:33:28] sector to bear on this. we had the [00:33:31] opportunity that this president was [00:33:33] willing to sign. He immediately [00:33:36] understood the impact that this wasn't [00:33:38] about the wealthy folks in America. This [00:33:40] was about the 50 million American [00:33:43] families who will be lifted up and [00:33:45] reconnected to the American dream [00:33:47] because this is now the law of the land [00:33:49] for every more forever more. Every child [00:33:52] in America from rural Missouri to rural [00:33:55] Indiana, from Trenton to Compton, is [00:33:58] going to start off life with an [00:34:00] investment account at birth seated with [00:34:02] $1,000 where they privately own Nvidia [00:34:06] and Microsoft, all the greatest com [00:34:08] companies in this country, right? Not [00:34:10] dependent on government, independent [00:34:13] from government, not more socialism. The [00:34:16] answer to more socialism is more [00:34:18] capitalism. This makes every child in [00:34:21] America a capitalist from birth. And it [00:34:23] would not have happened without the [00:34:24] leadership of our Treasury Secretary [00:34:27] Scott Bessant, without the leadership of [00:34:29] the speaker and Ted Cruz in the Senate. [00:34:31] But most importantly, and every business [00:34:34] leader in America will tell you this. [00:34:37] For too long, they had no access in [00:34:40] Washington to the White House. People [00:34:42] didn't want to hear their ideas. This [00:34:45] president is voracious in his desire to [00:34:48] hear from America's leaders about how to [00:34:51] make America better. This is citizen [00:34:54] democracy at its best. An idea that [00:34:57] started around a kitchen table in [00:34:59] Silicon Valley makes its way to this [00:35:01] day. I'm humbled and honored to be here [00:35:04] and I'm grateful for your leadership. [00:35:06] >> Great. Thank you. [applause] [00:35:13] >> Thank you, Mr. President. uh you know as [00:35:15] you heard from Brad you know the fact [00:35:18] that this bill got passed itself was a [00:35:21] was a miracle and it creates a platform [00:35:25] for [00:35:27] communities for families for [00:35:29] corporations for philanthropists to add [00:35:31] to these accounts and in not too many [00:35:34] years essentially every child in America [00:35:37] will have [00:35:39] savings invested in the greatest [00:35:42] companies in this country and that will [00:35:45] change the face of this country over the [00:35:48] next 10 20 30 years and we couldn't be [00:35:51] more excited about this and uh the [00:35:54] opportunity to make a difference. You [00:35:55] know the best investment a a country can [00:35:59] make is in its people especially in its [00:36:02] children and this creates an incredible [00:36:06] platform for that to occur at enormous [00:36:08] scale and we're excited to see it all [00:36:11] come together. Thank you all so much. [00:36:13] >> [applause] [00:36:24] >> those are two fantastic people. I can [00:36:27] tell you that. I want to give a very [00:36:29] special thanks to some of the CEOs here [00:36:32] this morning. Vlad Tenev of Robin Hood. [00:36:35] What a job he's done. Where's Vlad? What [00:36:37] a job you've done. [applause] [00:36:40] Young guy. Nice young guy too. [00:36:44] Arjun Seti of Kraken. Arjun, thank you [00:36:47] very much wherever you are. [applause] [00:36:51] Thank you. [00:36:53] Anthony Notto of Sofi Technologies. [00:36:56] Sofi, thank you very much, Anthony. [00:37:00] These are the ones you read about and [00:37:02] Bill Aman is here. Persing Square and [00:37:04] Hawkan of Broadcom and so many others [00:37:07] that I I if I name them, we'll be up [00:37:09] here all day. But I just want to say [00:37:11] that uh what a job you've all done. [00:37:14] Incredible job. Everybody. Just about [00:37:16] everybody in this room. Not everybody. [00:37:18] I'm not in love with everybody, but [00:37:20] couple of them I don't like very much, [00:37:21] but if they're here, I'm starting to [00:37:23] like them a lot better because they're [00:37:25] here for a very good reason. I'm [00:37:27] officially calling on all employers all [00:37:30] across America to follow the lead of [00:37:32] many of these amazing companies and make [00:37:35] matching Trump account contributions to [00:37:37] benefit for the American worker. And [00:37:40] they're going to benefit the American [00:37:42] worker so much. This morning, I'm also [00:37:45] pleased to announce that Visa is [00:37:47] creating a brand new platform which will [00:37:50] allow credit card holders to deposit [00:37:52] their cashback rewards directly into [00:37:54] Trump accounts. That's a big deal. Visa, [00:37:57] thank you. Where's Visa? The head of [00:38:00] Visa. Thank you very much, Visa. [00:38:04] These initiatives could not come at a [00:38:06] better moment because there's never been [00:38:09] a better time to invest in the United [00:38:11] States of America than right now. Who [00:38:13] knew it would have happened this fast? I [00:38:16] inherited a mess. We were a country that [00:38:19] was laughed at a year and a half ago. We [00:38:21] were laughed at. Now we're the hottest [00:38:23] country anywhere in the world. Nobody [00:38:25] even closed. So, you know, who knew this [00:38:28] was going to take place this quickly, [00:38:30] right, Michael? I didn't think it was [00:38:32] going to go that fast. I knew we were [00:38:33] going to do it, but I thought it would [00:38:35] take a couple of years at least. We just [00:38:37] couple of days longer than the first [00:38:39] year. So, it's really amazing. And just [00:38:42] this morning, as I'm running out, I see [00:38:43] the S&P 500 hit 7,000 for the first time [00:38:47] ever. Ever. [applause] [00:38:50] So, I say America is back. America is [00:38:53] back. Since the election, the stock [00:38:55] market has set 52 all-time record highs, [00:38:58] adding $9 trillion in value, and $18 [00:39:01] trillion of investment is pouring into [00:39:04] the country. It's going to be higher [00:39:05] than that. Just over one year ago, we [00:39:08] were a country that lost its way. We [00:39:10] were mocked and scorned. And every [00:39:13] American child will now be and have [00:39:17] access to something that is really [00:39:20] incredible. and they can watch directly [00:39:22] the economic boom that's taking place. [00:39:25] This is a boom that's taking place the [00:39:27] likes of which we've really never seen. [00:39:29] I don't think people, you know, get it [00:39:31] yet. Not a lot of people, they don't get [00:39:34] it. They don't see the thousands of [00:39:36] businesses being built, the hundreds and [00:39:38] hundreds of massive factories that are [00:39:39] going up all over. Uh but uh they're [00:39:43] going to start to see it. They're [00:39:44] starting to see it. I mean, if they're [00:39:46] modestly intelligent, if they're very [00:39:48] intelligent, they saw it about a year [00:39:50] ago. [00:39:51] With us today is Craig Smith, a fourthg [00:39:54] generation family farmer and volunteer [00:39:56] firefighter from Co Pepper, Virginia, [00:39:59] along with his wonderful wife, Heather. [00:40:02] Craig and Heather have an 18-month-old [00:40:04] son and a one-mon-old that they also [00:40:08] welcomed just recently, twin boys, and [00:40:12] they can't wait to activate Trump [00:40:14] accounts for all three of their children [00:40:17] this July 4th. Craig and Heather, do you [00:40:22] want to come up here? Craig and Heather, [00:40:23] where are you? Craig and Heather, come [00:40:25] on up. Craig and Heather, come on up. [00:40:29] Come on up. It meant so much to them. [00:40:32] You know, people write letters. Every [00:40:33] once in a while, you get a letter. It [00:40:34] just hit you. Craig and Heather, come on [00:40:36] up. Thank you. [00:40:40] That's great. Wow. Look at this family, [00:40:42] huh? They're our rich family now. [00:40:47] The kids are richer than the parents. [00:40:48] This is It's the way we want it. Thank [00:40:52] you very much. Wow. [00:40:56] [applause] [00:40:59] You like to [00:41:02] We just want to thank President Trump [00:41:04] for all of his [00:41:07] hard work and dedication uh to American [00:41:09] families and farm families like ours. Uh [00:41:12] farming is not always easy and sometimes [00:41:14] margins are tight. So investments like [00:41:16] this into our children really help us to [00:41:18] buy diapers and formula and not have to [00:41:21] worry about um making financial [00:41:23] decisions for them this early on. So [00:41:25] thank you very much, President Trump. [00:41:27] >> Thank you very much. [applause] [00:41:30] Thank you. [00:41:34] >> Thank you. [00:41:36] >> Thank you very much. So nice. Also [00:41:39] joining us today is the Goens family [00:41:41] from Fedville, Arkansas. Charlie works [00:41:44] in manufacturing and he's here with his [00:41:46] wife Savannah, his high school [00:41:49] sweetheart. In 2022, Charlie and [00:41:51] Savannah open their home to foster care, [00:41:54] expecting really expecting to take in [00:41:58] one child, but soon they were taken in a [00:42:02] family of three siblings and formally [00:42:04] adopting them. A short time later, [00:42:06] Charlie and Savannah also welcomed a [00:42:08] biological daughter. Trump accounts will [00:42:11] give each of these children a much [00:42:13] better start in life. And Charlie and [00:42:15] Savannah, where are you? Are you down [00:42:17] there? Do you want to come up? Come on [00:42:19] up here, Charlie, real fast. We're [00:42:20] holding up a lot of big business people. [00:42:22] We can't hold them up. [00:42:24] Michael will take back his donation. [00:42:27] Say, what? I want my money back. Come on [00:42:30] up here. [00:42:34] These are great families, but there's [00:42:36] millions and millions of families that [00:42:38] are going to be so amazed and so happy [00:42:41] at what's taken place. Sort of a [00:42:43] miracle, I think. [00:42:46] >> Nice to see you. How are you? [00:42:56] >> [applause and cheering] [00:43:03] >> Uh thank you, President Trump, for [00:43:04] having uh my family and me here today. [00:43:08] Uh my wife and I have spent the better [00:43:10] part of our adult lives uh adv working [00:43:13] to advance children in our community. [00:43:16] And it was our faith that first led us [00:43:18] to uh open our home to foster care. And [00:43:21] it was God's plan that uh that allowed [00:43:24] us Absolutely. [00:43:27] [applause] [00:43:30] And it was God's plan that uh that [00:43:33] allowed us to uh adopt three amazing [00:43:36] children out of foster care. Uh to [00:43:40] uh welcome so many more. and of course [00:43:43] uh this past year welcome our youngest [00:43:45] daughter Florence into the world. Uh [00:43:48] it's through our experience that uh [00:43:50] we've seen how opportunity or the lack [00:43:52] thereof can um really [00:43:56] impact a child uh at the very beginning [00:43:59] stages of their life before they even [00:44:01] get a chance themselves. And that's why, [00:44:02] you know, my wife and I uh uh along with [00:44:06] some of the work that the first lady is [00:44:08] doing um we are working to uh help [00:44:11] foster families and f foster and adopted [00:44:14] families and personally in in our state [00:44:17] uh with protections and support in our [00:44:19] home state of Arkansas. Uh you know, [00:44:21] every child deserves hope, stability, [00:44:23] and a strong chance uh at a future, a [00:44:26] strong future. And uh for young families [00:44:29] especially like ours that uh your first [00:44:31] priorities are of course your diapers [00:44:33] and your wives and your car seats and [00:44:34] all that stuff. And so starting uh and [00:44:37] investing into a uh investment account [00:44:40] is not necessarily on the top of the [00:44:41] priority list. And we're so thankful to [00:44:43] have this. And I think this sends a [00:44:46] powerful message that this uh [00:44:48] administration believes that financial [00:44:49] opportunity can start early, that it is [00:44:52] intentional, and that it can impact [00:44:55] every single family. and my wife and I [00:44:57] are so excited that this administration [00:44:59] has uh placed families and children like [00:45:02] ours at the forefront of economic policy [00:45:05] and we're so excited for uh the the [00:45:07] future of the children and for this [00:45:10] country. Thank you. [00:45:12] [applause] [00:45:20] [applause] [00:45:21] >> That's a great job. I was wondering how [00:45:24] much longer he could. Did you notice it? [00:45:27] It's getting heavy. It's still 50 pounds [00:45:31] or something. I said, "How much longer [00:45:33] is that?" And finally, [00:45:36] it broke loose. [00:45:40] But you could see a loving father there, [00:45:42] couldn't you? Huh? The way he did that, [00:45:43] right? Wasn't that a loving father? I [00:45:45] watched that. He was grabbing. [00:45:47] [applause] [00:45:48] That's a great family. Thank you very [00:45:50] much both. Beautiful. So in conclusion, [00:45:53] the ultimate success of the Trump [00:45:55] accounts will be measured not just in [00:45:57] the wealth created. It will be seen in [00:46:00] young people buying houses that they [00:46:02] could never have even dreamed of buying. [00:46:05] It'll be seen in diplomas earned, [00:46:07] companies founded, families formed, and [00:46:10] more babies born. It'll really be seen [00:46:12] in something where you're given a [00:46:14] chance. You're given a chance at life, a [00:46:16] very good chance. Above all, Trump [00:46:18] accounts will help bring the hope and [00:46:21] prosperity to every community that every [00:46:23] community wants to see. And it'll bring [00:46:26] back the American dream. The American [00:46:28] dream is so beautiful. I would mention [00:46:30] it all the time when I'm running. [00:46:32] Whenever I run, I talk about the [00:46:34] American dream because that's what we [00:46:35] want to create. Others don't talk about [00:46:38] it, but we have the American dream back. [00:46:40] I think now better than maybe better [00:46:42] than ever before. For generations, [00:46:45] Washington politicians have done nothing [00:46:47] to take from the hardworking people of [00:46:50] our country. They take and take. They do [00:46:53] nothing but take. They've made workers [00:46:56] lives harder, sent prices higher, pushed [00:46:58] your dreams out of reach. And both [00:47:01] parties, I mean, they didn't do the job [00:47:02] that they were supposed to do. Some were [00:47:06] fighting, and sometimes we fight against [00:47:08] uh some of the great politicians we have [00:47:10] here. They fight with me, most of them, [00:47:13] and we fight to make things better, but [00:47:16] we run into walls of other politicians [00:47:19] that either don't want to do something [00:47:21] or they almost feel like it's a [00:47:23] destruction of our country. But now [00:47:26] we're doing something much better than [00:47:28] giving the next generation a handout. [00:47:30] We're giving them ownership of America's [00:47:32] future so that they can grow up, chart [00:47:35] their own destiny, and make our nation [00:47:37] greater and stronger and better than [00:47:39] ever before. [00:47:40] So, I just want to thank all of the [00:47:42] people that participated today, the [00:47:44] great business leaders, the great [00:47:46] celebrities, and all of the people that [00:47:48] are in this room. You've done so much. [00:47:50] And I just want to also give a little [00:47:52] bit of a shout out to a lot of great [00:47:55] politicians that are right now voting on [00:47:57] some very important measures. Plus, the [00:48:00] politicians in this room. They have [00:48:02] really worked hard on this. This is [00:48:03] something that it's uh amazing that it [00:48:06] got done. If you knew the political [00:48:08] process, it was very complex, very hard [00:48:11] to get done to get all of those votes [00:48:13] together, but we did it. And uh it's [00:48:15] going to be great for America. And Brad [00:48:18] and Michael, thank you both very much. [00:48:20] Special special people. Thank you very [00:48:22] much. And God bless everybody in the [00:48:24] room. And God bless America. Thank you [00:48:26] very much for being here. Thank you. [00:48:28] [cheering] Thank you. [applause] [00:48:30] [music] [00:48:35] Thank you everybody. [00:48:39] Thank you.
