Today, President Donald J. Trump joined top lawmakers and philanthropists Michael and Susan Dell to celebrate an extraordinary milestone forTrump Accounts: a historic$6.25 billioncharitable commitment from the Dells. Trump Accounts are a new, historic savings tool made possible by President Trump’s landmark Working Families Tax Cuts Act.
This landmark gift — one of the largest direct investments ever made in American families — will dramatically accelerate President Trump’s initiative to give every newborn child a head start toward lifelong financial security and the American Dream.
Here’s what you need to know:
Trump Accounts will be available to every U.S. citizen born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028. These innovative, tax-advantaged savings accounts — created through President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts Act — enable a generation of American children to begin building wealth from the moment they are born.
Each Trump Account will launch with a one-time $1,000 government seed contribution. Families and others can contribute up to $5,000 annually; the funds will be invested in a broad stock-market index, remain private property under guardian control until age 18, and, if fully funded and left untouched, could grow to as much as $1.9 million by age 28.
Thanks to the Dell’s unprecedentedgift, the first 25 million American children age 10 and under living in ZIP codes with median incomes below $150,000 will receive an additional $250. This historic act of generosity will give millions of low- and middle-income children an even stronger shot at achieving the American Dream.
What is a Trump Account? A Trump Account is a tax-deferred savings account for children under 18. The accounts are designed to grow with investment earnings over time, and when the child becomes an adult, the accounts generally function like a traditional IRA.
Who is eligible? Any child under 18 with a valid Social Security number may open a Trump Account. Parents or guardians must set up and manage the account until the child turns 18.
What is the $1,000 government contribution? The parent or guardian of a child born between calendar year 2025 and 2028 who is a U.S. citizen with a valid Social Security number may choose to have a one-time $1,000 contribution made by Treasury to the child’s Trump Account. This contribution does not count against the annual $5,000 contribution limit. This benefit is available for these children so long as the account is opened before the year in which the child turns age 18.
Do Trump Accounts protect taxpayer dollars by preventing waste, fraud, and abuse? Trump Accounts are built with strict safeguards to protect taxpayer funds, including requiring a valid Social Security number and limiting the one-time $1,000 pilot contribution exclusively to U.S. citizens born between calendar years 2025 and 2028, ensuring this benefit goes only to eligible American children.
Who can contribute to a Trump Account? Children, parents or guardians, grandparents, family members, friends, and employers (with the first $2,500 per employee per year excluded from the employee’s income) may make contributions. Additionally, qualifying charitable organizations and government entities (e.g., states, tribes, localities, etc.) may make contributions for all children in a “qualified class” (e.g., all children born in a year, all children in a state, all children nationwide, etc.).
How much can be contributed each year? The annual contribution limit is $5,000 total per child, with cost-of-living increases after 2027. Qualifying charitable organizations and government entities may make additional contributions that do not count toward the $5,000 limit.
When do contributions begin? Contributions to Trump Accounts will be accepted starting July 4, 2026.
How are Trump Accounts invested? By law, Trump Accounts may only be invested in broad U.S. equity index funds that track the overall U.S. stock market (e.g., S&P 500), do not use leverage, and charge no more than 0.10% in annual fees.
Can money be withdrawn before age 18? No. Funds may not be withdrawn before the child turns 18, except for a rollover of the entire account to a Trump Account with another brokerage (trustee-to-trustee transfer), certain rollovers to an ABLE account in the year the child turns 17, or distribution upon death. After age 18, standard IRA rules for withdrawals apply.
What happens when the child turns 18? At age 18, the account is generally treated like a traditional IRA. The account holder may continue contributing subject to IRA rules and earned income requirements. Withdrawals follow traditional IRA rules and the account holder may be subject to a 10% additional tax for any withdrawal before age 59 ½, unless an exception (such as for distributions for higher education expenses or first home purchases) applies.
How do I open a Trump Account for my child? Use IRS Form 4547 to make the election to establish an initial Trump Account for the exclusive benefit of a child who is eligible; also use Form 4547 to make an election for the $1,000 pilot program contribution from the U.S. Treasury to the child’s Trump Account if they are eligible for the contribution. After the election is made, beginning in May 2026, Treasury or its agent will send information to the individual who made the election to activate the account through an authentication process and complete the opening of the initial Trump account.
When can I open a Trump Account for my child? IRS Form 4547 can be filed at any time, including at the same time as the electing individual’s 2025 income tax return is filed. Beginning mid-2026, these elections can also be made through an online account at trumpaccounts.gov.
Where will the Trump Account be held? Can I use my preferred brokerage firm? All Trump Accounts will initially be created and held with Treasury’s designated financial agent. At a later date, parents or guardians will be able to transfer the full balance of a Trump Account to their preferred brokerage firm through a simple trustee-to-trustee rollover.
Can my employer offer Trump Account contributions through a cafeteria plan? Yes. Pre-tax salary-reduction contributions will be allowed to Trump Accounts owned by an employee’s dependent child through an employer-sponsored cafeteria plan, up to $2,500 per employee per year.
On Monday, December 1, 2025, the President signed into law:
H.R. 695, the “Medal of Honor Act,” which requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to increase the rate of the special monthly pension payable to living Medal of Honor recipients; and
H.R. 2483, the “SUPPORT for Patients and Communications Reauthorization Act of 2025,” which reauthorizes programs related to substance use disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery.
President Donald J. Trump is right: Minnesota has become “a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity,” where “refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State.”
Nowhere is that more evident than the shocking fraud scandal that took place under the incompetence of deeply disturbed Democrat Gov. Tim Walz, in which 78 of the 86individualschargedso far are of Somali ancestry.
Democrats allowed a $1+ billion heist to take place. Dozens of individuals — largely of East African descent — looted taxpayers out of over $1 billion that was intended for child food assistance in what amounted to the country’s largest pandemic relief fraud scheme.
The fraud involved a massive, complex network of nonprofits and affiliates, largely run through the Somali community. Nonprofits tied to the Somali community claimed to have fed tens of thousands of non-existent hungry children, claimed to have provided services to non-existent homeless, and claimed to have provided therapy for non-existent autistic Somali children. Kickbacks were paid, lavish lifestyles were funded, and money was sent overseas — some of it even allegedlyfunneled to a terror group.
The massive scandal unfolded on Walz’s watch — and he did absolutely nothing about it. All enforcement has been at the federal — not state — level. In fact, the state’s cowardly Democrat officials were “reluctant” to act — “tolerating, if not tacitly allowing, the fraud” and ignoring whistleblowers — to avoid “political backlash among the Somali community” and accusations of racism.
President Trump is taking action. The Trump Administration is terminating Temporary Protected Status for Somalis, indefinitely halting migration from third-world countries, reexamining green cards for every alien from every country of concern, pausing all asylum decisions, and more — all as part of its relentless effort to ensure migrants that remain are a net positive on our society.
The White House just dropped a flamethrower on the Fake News Media: a new public database that catalogs the avalanche of lies, deliberate distortions, and manufactured hoaxes churned out by activist “journalists” and their failing outlets.
Now live at wh.gov/mediabias, the site lays bare the offending “journalists” and their outlets alongside the actual facts they attempted to bury, twist, or invent. Fully sortable and routinely updated, it ensures no hoax, no anonymously “sourced” fan fiction, and no partisan smear gets memory-holed again.
Coupled with the White House Rapid Response account on X, the Trump Administration is pushing back in real time to ensure the American people get the unfiltered truth — no ideological filter, no corporate spin, only the facts so they can decide for themselves.
class=”has-text-align-left”>Today, we celebrate the 190th birthday of the “father of American literature,” Mark Twain, a storyteller whose wit, wisdom, and honesty spoke to the heart of our Nation. Through humor and imagination, he transformed everyday life into timeless tales, embodying the American spirit of daring and defiance, courage and confidence, and excellence and adventure.
Before he took up his famous pen name, Samuel Clemens was raised in the river town of Hannibal, Missouri, where the sights and sounds of the Mississippi River would later inspire some of his greatest stories. He worked as a printer’s apprentice, riverboat pilot, and silver miner before discovering his true calling as a writer. From these early experiences came the sharp humor, plainspoken wisdom, and unforgettable characters that made him one of America’s most beloved voices.
Mark Twain witnessed the events that shaped our Nation’s story and transformed his everyday life into novels that still define American culture. Living through the Civil War, the Reconstruction era, and the rise of the Industrial Age, Mark Twain chronicled a country finding its identity and gave voice to the forgotten Americans who make it so unique. His journeys took him around the world, where he found meaning in the everyday experiences shared by Americans from all walks of life. Through classics such as Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Innocents Abroad, he captured the humor, hardship, and hope of an era, a people, and a Nation. His humor was honest, his honesty was humorous, and both were unapologetic, bold, and distinctly American.
“The secret of getting ahead is getting started,” Mark Twain once wrote. And his words still ring true today. From the very first day of my Administration, we got to work fulfilling the promises we made to the American people, and we are delivering historic results. We are revitalizing our economy, lowering prices and costs of living for everyday Americans, securing the safest border in history, and brokering unprecedented peace deals around the globe. We are restoring law and order, rebuilding American strength, and renewing pride in the values that make our country great. In so doing, we are fulfilling Mark Twain’s hope for an America that measures greatness not in the illusion he once called the “Gilded Age” but in the Golden Age of prosperity for all Americans.

A PROCLAMATION
In 1789, just years after America’s triumph over tyranny in the Revolutionary War, President George Washington established the first National Day of Thanksgiving, declaring “the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor.” Decades later, in the midst of the bloody Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln implored the Nation to join in unity for “a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.” In every generation since, this spirit of reverence, trust, and gratitude has preserved our way of life and made America the strongest, greatest, and most resilient Nation the world has ever known.
From the pilgrims who settled our continent and the patriots who won our independence on the battlefield to the pioneers who tamed the west and the warriors who have preserved our freedom in distant lands, the spirit of gratitude and grit embodied by those who celebrated the first Thanksgiving more than 400 years ago have stood at the very heart of what it means to be an American.
This year, God has bestowed abundant blessings all across our land and indeed the entire world. As we give thanks to Him, we continue to advance our Nation through strong leadership and commonsense policy. As a result, the American economy is roaring back, we are making progress on lowering the cost of living, a new era of peace is sweeping around the world, our sovereignty is being swiftly restored, and the American spirit is coming back greater and more powerful than ever before.
As we prepare to celebrate 250 glorious years of American independence, this Thanksgiving, we summon the faith, resolve, and unflinching fortitude of the giants of American history who came before us. We vow to build a future that echoes their sacrifice. Above all, we offer our endless gratitude to Almighty God for His love, grace, and infinite blessings.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 27, 2025, as a National Day of Thanksgiving. I encourage all Americans to gather, in homes and places of worship, to offer a prayer of thanks to God for our many blessings.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fifth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.
How many more innocent Americans have to be victimized before Democrat politicians admit their sick, soft-on-crime insanity is a blood-soaked catastrophe?
Last week in Democrat-run Chicago, a 26-year-old woman was riding the ‘L’ train when a career criminal with 72 prior arrests — including eight felony convictions and seven misdemeanors — doused her in gasoline, chased her screaming through the train car, and set her on fire in broad daylight. She’s now fighting for her life with horrific burns because the predator who did this was walking free.
This animal was walking free because of the radical, dangerous “no cash bail” lawproudly signed by Governor JB Pritzkerand celebrated by Chicago’s defund-the-police Mayor Brandon Johnson. Just three months ago, after this same monster was arrested for another violent crime, a county judge cut him loose on electronic monitoring — a condition he repeatedly violated with zero consequences right up to the day he lit an innocent woman on fire.
While President Trump fights tooth and nail to make America’s cities safe again — crushing these reckless Democrat policy disasters, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with police, and surgingfederalresources into the neighborhoods Democrats have abandoned — delusional politicians like Pritzker and Johnson arrogantly double down on the same failed policies that handed a violent thug a can of gasoline and a match.
Enough is enough. President Trump is taking our streets back from the savages who terrorize them and from the Democrats who keep setting them free.
USHERING IN A NEW ERA OF DISCOVERY: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order launching the Genesis Mission, a new national effort to use artificial intelligence (AI) to transform how scientific research is conducted and accelerate the speed of scientific discovery.
The Genesis Mission charges the Secretary of Energy with leveraging our National Laboratories to unite America’s brightest minds, most powerful computers, and vast scientific data into one cooperative system for research.
The Order directs the Department of Energy to create a closed-loop AI experimentation platform that integrates our Nation’s world-class supercomputers and unique data assets to generate scientific foundation models and power robotic laboratories.
The Order instructs the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST) to coordinate the national initiative and the integration of data and infrastructure from across the Federal government.
The Secretary of Energy, APST, and the Special Advisor for AI & Crypto will collaborate with academia and private-sector innovators to support and enhance the Genesis Mission.
Priority areas of focus include the greatest scientific challenges of our time that can dramatically improve our Nation’s national, economic, and health security, including biotechnology, critical materials, nuclear fission and fusion energy, space exploration, quantum information science, and semiconductors and microelectronics.
HARNESSING AI FOR OUR NATIONAL SECURITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: With the Genesis Mission, the Trump Administration intends to dramatically expand the productivity and impact of Federal research and development within a decade.
Despite research budgets soaring since the 1990s, scientific progress has stalled—new drug approvals have declined, and more researchers are needed to achieve the same outputs.
Harnessing AI as a scientific tool will revolutionize the way scientific research is conducted.
For example, AI technologies can generate models of protein structures and novel materials, design and analyze experiments, and aggregate and generate new data faster and more effectively. Research that once took years could now take weeks or months.
To do this, AI needs large amounts of organized and high-quality data and significant computing power. These datasets and computing technology already exist within DOE’s National Laboratories. With the Genesis Mission, the Trump Administration is bringing the power of AI to bear on our already expansive data infrastructure and creating a platform for multiple Federal research agencies and the private sector to collaborate to achieve breakthroughs currently thought impossible, and to win and stay ahead in the AI race.
STRENGTHENING AMERICA’S AI DOMINANCE: President Trump continues to prioritize America’s global dominance in AI to usher in a new golden age of human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security.
In January, President Trump signed an Executive Order to reverse harmful Biden Administration AI policies and enhance America’s global AI dominance.
In April, President Trump signed an Executive Order to advance AI education for America’s youth.
In July, President Trump signed Executive Orders to prevent woke AI in the Federal government and promote the export of full-stack American AI technologies.
In July, President Trump issued America’s AI Action Plan, a policy agenda identifying nearly a hundred Federal actions to accelerate American AI innovation, build AI infrastructure at home, and lead in international diplomacy and security.
The AI Action Plan includes recommended policies for investing in AI-enabled science, including the direction to build world-class data sets.
In September, the President signed an Executive Order on harnessing AI innovation to unlock cures for pediatric cancer, using the Childhood Cancer Data Initiative, which President Trump initially established in 2019 to collect, generate, and analyze childhood cancer data.
Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order launching The Genesis Mission, a bold national initiative that aims to accelerate scientific breakthroughs using AI. Inspired by the legacy of the Apollo Program, The Genesis Mission brings together the unmatched power of our National Laboratories’ supercomputers and top scientific minds to transform the way science and research are conducted.
This whole-of-government approach represents a historic mobilization of resources, tasking the Department of Energy to integrate its world-class supercomputers and datasets into a unified, closed-loop AI platform. Integrating this data, The Genesis Mission leverages the power of AI to automate experiment design, accelerate simulations, and generate predictive models that accelerate federal research and development productivity.
The Executive Order directs the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology to spearhead coordination with key federal agencies, including the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and National Institutes of Health (NIH) as AI unlocks scientific findings from datasets spanning from energy, health, and manufacturing.
“President Trump is taking a revolutionary approach to scientific research, harnessing the power of AI to propel America into the Golden Age of Innovation. The Genesis Mission connects world-class scientific data with the most advanced American AI to unlock breakthroughs in medicine, energy, materials science, and beyond,” said Michael Kratsios, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology and Director of the White House of Science and Technology Policy.
