=== Trump Accounts for Kids (01:53) ===

[00:00:00]  Let's talk about Trump accounts.
[00:00:01]  I know this is something we, when we were talking offline, I know this is something very important to you.
[00:00:06]  And so just explain to me what they are and where we're at.
[00:00:09]  Oh, well, we're about to pierce a million babies born that are going to get the $1,000.
[00:00:20]  So start there.
[00:00:24]  The next four years, you know, a child born.
[00:00:27]  You fill out my favorite form of $4547.
[00:00:31]  And you can register your child, get $1,000, put in a Trump account for them.
[00:00:39]  But you can register anyone up till 18.
[00:00:45]  And you begin, whether it's Michael Dell doing it, or there's lots of people who are putting money into the system, parents using it as a savings vehicle for their child up till 18.
[00:01:06]  It's a powerful, powerful instrument.
[00:01:08]  We have over 3 million Trump accounts opened.
[00:01:11]  Obviously, I said a million babies, but we have over 3 million because people are opening up for their children.
[00:01:18]  I think it's fabulous.
[00:01:19]  I think, you know, it's another form of an IRA, just a different concept.
[00:01:25]  Right.
[00:01:26]  And I mean, basically, for any child under 18, this can be opened up.
[00:01:30]  So it sounds like there's a lot more opportunity here to be taken into account.
[00:01:33]  Yeah, I think people are becoming educated to the topic.
[00:01:39]  We probably will continue to educate them.
[00:01:43]  I think you'll see financial planners educating them.
[00:01:47]  I think you're going to see tax preparers educating them.
[00:01:50]  And I think it's going to be explosive.
