The Daily · Could ‘Trump Accounts’ Actually Close the Wealth Gap? · 24 Jul 2026 podcast

But many of them say that the president is not paying enough attention to those issues.

And even the things that he has done, like these Trump accounts, like expanding the child tax credit, he's not talking much about them.

He is in the sense that we're seeing from reporting that the Trump branding on these accounts is very polarizing.

These accounts went by various names during the drafting of the bill, and the official name is a 530A account.

But right before the Republican tax bill was passed, the name was changed to Trump Accounts.

And this, it turns out, has been a turnoff for some of the parents who could be opening them for their children.

That's right.

We've heard from many people that it actually is preventing them from wanting to sign up.

And this is showing up in surveys, too.

There are also some trust issues that we've heard.

Will these actually be funded?

Trump has a history of defaulting on his debts.

So there are other hurdles as well.

Yeah, and he's really branding these.

Another funny thing is that the tax form from the IRS used to sign up for these is number 4547, which all signs point to being named after his presidency's.

Yeah.

The biggest thing they could do, and this is according to researchers who have studied the way that these kinds of accounts work in other places, is auto-enroll children.

Okay.

Right now, parents have to sign up, and when they have to do that in other places, a minority do, just like we're seeing with Trump accounts.

But in those other places like Maine and Oklahoma, when babies were automatically enrolled in accounts, giving parents the chance to opt out instead of forcing them to opt in, almost none of them did.
