President Trump will host officials from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq in the Oval Office on Monday, to mark his administration’s launch of new investment accounts for children.

The Treasury Department launched the “Trump Accounts” on July 4, allowing the accounts to receive contributions. An app for parents to fund their child’s account and explore financial education modules is also fully updated as of Saturday, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said last week officials from the two stock exchanges will ring their opening bells from the White House. Trading is open on the NYSE and Nasdaq from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. EDT.

“We’re having a big opening bell ceremony next week, where the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange are going to ring the bell from the Oval [Office] for the first time together,” Hassett told host Joe Kernen on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “And they’re doing that to celebrate the accounts, to make sure everybody knows it’s time to get an account for your kid,” he added. Trump’s public schedule for Monday includes a 9:30 a.m. Trump Accounts launch.

I assumed he would fly up there but apparently not.

1. Shameless.

:vomit:

2. Take note...

Trump is TOUCHING something. Proceed at your own risk.

[Ray Bruns]

7. ETTD. You've been warned.

[chicoescuela]

8. Big sell off today?

[Hugin]

13. No idea.

Sideways is sideways. Be sure to keep your arms and legs inside the basket at all times for the ride.

31. They usually are. Thank you

3. They'll have to get to 20500 somehow. A rented jet is my guess.

What airport, though? A Flexjet Embraer EMB-505 left Westchester at 7:03 a.m. Is that it?

And good morning. 80. I'll open some windows.

Edited. Not this one. He's still going. Look for general aviation from the New York City area to KDCA.

17. Done in the Oval Office

There are a couple live feeds going but I can't handle that on a Monday. It was a PITA to get an embeddable pic.

And good rainy morning. Over 2.5" since last night.

19. Amtrak 97 was oner nine hours late at Richmond this morning.

This is a train that originates in New York City.

The delay happened in Washington. They couldn't find a locomotive for it.

23. There is ongoing flooding here now

so Amtrak is probably SOL between D.C. And NYC!

32. Thanks for the photo, BRDS. ❤️

Smelly old psychopathic pedophile trys to convince newly orphaned birthright citizens that a bell he stole from Temu is the real Liberty Bell from 1976 (getting the math wrong by 200 years) while their parents who are currently in concentration camps wait for deportation to unknown countries.

This morning in the Oval Office.

Shortly after the photo was taken, the next of kin for each child was forced to make a sizable cash payment for each child before they were allowed to leave. Maybe. No one really knows for sure what happened next.

But it was probably shady, whatever it was.

Welcome to America.

Land of the orphaned. Home of the gift.

4. How will Visa Trump Pedo Account holders feel

about having an account for their kid, when they realize during the forthcoming 2027 hearings that the accounts are named after a soon to be convicted pedophile who should be going to prison?

[Vinca]

5. I'm sure must be wetting his beak somehow in this. Is it tied to one of the family's financial investment companies?

[CapnSteve]

6. Foxtrot Delta Tango

...that is all.

[Ilsa]

9. I assume there's an account management fee involved?

Or is that paid upfront? They've been advertising this on TV, but don't explain how they work, the rules, etc.

[Ray Bruns]

10. ETTD.

[Wuddles440]

11. Despite his financial advisor encouraging him to do so,

my wife and I have informed our son that we will disown him if he opens any such accounts for our grandchildren.

29. Good going !

12. They were advertising "Trump accounts" on MS.NOW over the weekend.

I read that they are planning to put "America 250" and/or "Trump Accounts" on newly issued Social Security cards (I guess for kids or babies). I can't remember which - or maybe both.

IF that's true, then it's the clearest sign yet that they plan to privatize Social Security - maybe by slowly killing the existing system and turning it into these stock market things - which essentially is a gambling casino. Because everyone wants their retirement money in a gambling casino. Right?

[FakeNoose]

14. Were they paid-for ads, or was it a news story about the "Trump Accounts"?

I haven't had my TV on all weekend so I missed the story you're referring to. It's possible but unlikely that MS-Now accepted advertising from the "Trump Accounts" organization. (Assuming that it's even a business at this point.)

It's much more likely that MS-Now ran a news story about the development, and some viewers mistook it for a paid advertisement.

[CousinIT]

22. They were paid ads.

Not a news story. I was watching. The ad appeared several times over the weekend - had kids in it saying "sign me up!"

[littlemissmartypants]

15. I hope he over sleeps and nobody wakes him.

[a kennedy]

16. and he's keeping the damn bell he rang to open the stock markets!!!!!! HE's KEEPING THE DAMN BELL!!!!

he said it’ll look great in his ballroom, it’s gold!!!! 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

[BumRushDaShow]

18. Rare to see you here

[a kennedy]

24. 🥰

30. Such a sleaze.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

20. trump just admitted that he's going to take the bell that he rings to open the NASDAQ and NYSE

21. I recommend opening one of these for your children

Especially young children that qualify for the free $1000 startup.

It’s a great idea that will live on after Trump is gone. Hate his name being attacked to it, but being able to start something for your children at birth is just a sound idea.

[a kennedy]

25. Sorry, I just don't trust ANYTHING that he's connected with. Don't trust him AT ALL.

and sorry, JMHO.

[Johnny2X2X]

27. They're regular IRAs

I don’t care if his name is on it, these are IRAs backed by our federal government. Not taking advantage of them is a loss.

I think he knows most liberals won’t invest in them and it will be their children’s loss.

[Turbineguy]

26. What will the money be invested in?

"Funds will be invested in a diversified investment vehicle designed to maximize long-term growth while minimizing risk. Additional investment options will be added."

"Funds can be accessed without penalty when the child turns 18 for qualified expenses like education, or a first home purchase. Withdrawals may be subject to restrictions and would be taxed at ordinary income rates."

https://trumpaccounts.gov/

And from US Treasury:

At launch, all contributions to Trump Accounts will be invested in the State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF (SPYM) a low-cost exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the performance of the S&P 500 Index. The fund was selected to provide broad exposure to the U.S. stock market while maintaining expenses well below the statutory fee limitation. Treasury has also selected the following additional low-cost index ETFs for the Trump Accounts investment lineup:

iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV)
Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI)
State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 1500 Composite Stock Market ETF (SPTM)
iShares Core S&P total U.S. Stock Market ETF (ITOT)
These funds have been selected to provide diversified exposure across major segments of the financial markets while keeping investment costs low.
