In August, on my grandson’s 9th birthday, I gave my daughter $500 to seed his 530A Trump Account. When the account opened, @MichaelDell and Susan Dell’s $250 hit it. That was the moment he got excited. He wanted to see the app. He wanted to see “his” money. We did not stop at a one-time gift. We turned it into a weekly habit. I scanned the QR code and added $50 on top just to test the app. It worked. Simple. Fast. A couple of weeks ago it hit me: if I add a little every week, he will actually watch. So now, every Friday after the close, he has a job. He tells me: 1The S&P 500 close 2The weekly change 3One company in the index Then I put $5 in his Trump Account. He does not get paid for existing. He gets paid for paying attention. That is the point. The $500 birthday seed started the account.
The Dell $250 made it real to a kid.
The QR test proved a grandfather can fund it in seconds.
The weekly $5 is what builds the habit. He is learning the names of American companies. Not slogans. Companies. The ones in the S&P 500 that hire people, sell products, and compound over time. A child who owns a slice of those companies becomes a capitalist. A child who only hears that wealth should be handed out becomes a spectator. A 530A Trump Account is a tax-deferred investment account in the child’s name. No job required to fund it. Any U.S. child under 18 with a Social Security number can have one. Kids born 2025–2028 can get a $1,000 Treasury seed. Family, friends, and employers can add up to $5,000 a year. It stays invested in a low-cost U.S. index fund until the year he turns 18. We opened his at Thank you @POTUS for signing it. Thank you @SenTedCruz for writing it. Thank you @SecScottBessent @USTreasury and @TrumpAccounts for building the account, the app, and the QR code so a grandparent can fund it from a phone. Thank you @MichaelDell and Susan Dell. Your $250 is what made a little boy open the app and care. Thank you @altcap @InvestAmerica24 and everyone else putting real money behind other people’s kids. This is how you raise owners, not dependents. Grandparents: seed it once. Then attach a weekly job to the next dollar. Parents: open it tonight at If you are doing this with a child, reply with the company they named this week.

Nice Friday gift - thank you @MichaelDell and Susan Dell If you are a parent I strongly encourage you to ignore any political bias you may have and open up a Trump account for your kids.

I just received this. Start making the right moves and success will follow often times in unexpected ways. "Josiah received a gift from a donor Hi Joshua, Michael and Susan Dell Philanthropies just sent something special to Josiah’s Trump Account..."

Thank you, Michael and Susan Dell! Leo, Ella and Maren each received your generous $250 gift in their Trump Accounts today. Your investment in their futures and the meaningful head start you’re giving so many young people are truly remarkable. This dad is grateful. @MichaelDell @DellFdn

The CEO of Dell @MichaelDell just dropped 500 bucks total for my two kids (my third already got the $1000 to start) in their Trump Accounts. I want to write him a thank you note, but it’s not like I have his address to send it to of course. That’s a real patriotic move. He’s helping out a lot of people who don’t have much in America and I think it’s going to really add up by the time my kids are 18. Dell’s stock price is way up since he did this. Nice to see. Once again, I remind the Earth: billionaires have never once made my life worse. The bottom 10% however…

This Labor Day, start your children’s investing future right by claiming 250 dollars per kid to grow tax free until they are 18! Mine just got theirs. It’s a multibillion dollar gift from @MichaelDell investing directly in America’s children through the new Trump Accounts.

One of the coolest notifications I’ve received. Got it three times. One for each of my three kids! Not often an opportunity like this comes along. Thank you @MichaelDell, and thank you to your wife, Susan. You both are making a difference, and leading by example.

So freakin cool! I am such a fan of the Trump accounts that I tell everyone about it all the time. Hell I’ve recorded hour long podcasts talking the Trump account and how awesome it is and why every kid should have one! Thanks to the @MichaelDell foundation for following through on their promise! 🫡💪
