At a recent Cabinet meeting President Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent laid out a clear, pro-growth scorecard that the mainstream media refuses to celebrate. They pointed to booming federal receipts from tariffs, robust GDP gains, and the launch of the bold new Trump Accounts program designed to seed investment for the next generation. Conservatives should be proud to see an administration finally putting American workers and savers first and using real policy to produce results.
The tariff receipts have been nothing short of historic, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection reporting well over $200 billion collected in 2025 — revenue that the Biden crowd only dreamed about while hollowing out our industries. Rather than caving in to global special interests, the administration used leverage to bring manufacturing and strategic supply chains back home while keeping overall economic growth strong. Those who warned tariffs would wreck the economy were proven wrong as consumer demand and GDP held up impressively amid the reset.
Most Americans will be excited about Trump Accounts, a commonsense plan to give every eligible child a head start in the markets with a $1,000 seed from the Treasury and the option for parents, employers, and philanthropists to add tax-advantaged funds. The program targets children born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028 and locks the funds until adulthood, encouraging saving and long-term wealth accumulation rather than short-term dependency. This isn’t social engineering — it is practical capitalism that teaches financial responsibility and gives every child a stake in America’s future.
The private sector is stepping up fast, proving that when government creates the framework for opportunity, generous Americans answer the call. Major philanthropic commitments and corporate pledges are already pouring in to top up these accounts for millions of youngsters, multiplying the impact of the federal seed and shrinking the role of permanent welfare. That kind of public-private patriotism is the exact opposite of the Democrat playbook of endless handouts and bureaucratic control.
Critics who whine about market risk miss the point: the goal is to broaden access to America’s prosperity, not to deny it. By putting children into index funds and encouraging employer matches, Trump Accounts will rebuild faith in capitalism among the next generation and create real pathways to homeownership, education, and retirement security. This is long-term nation-building, not short-term politics, and it deserves the full-throated support of every patriot who wants an America where hard work pays off.
If conservatives want to keep winning on the economy, we must defend these policies from the predictable, panicked attacks of the left-wing establishment and a complicit legacy press. Stand with the President and Secretary Bessent as they deliver tangible results — rising revenues, renewed industry, and a plan to hand every American child a fighting chance. Roll up your sleeves, sign up your family for Trump Accounts when the portal opens, and let’s finish the job of restoring American greatness for our children and grandchildren.
