This at least is a form of clear philanthropy.

Like, this is direct giving to...

you know, children, right?

But at the same time, you get to like put your seal of approval on it alongside the Trump administration.

This program is called the Trump Accounts.

So any donation to it is sort of therefore linked with the president.

So all of these things are kind of playing together at once.

So if we see more and more of these types of donations, then what looks like a $1,200 roughly seed, could that grow into $2,000, $3,000?

And that, you know, like the compounding effects of that get more and more powerful.

So we really have to see how much more the sort of top 1% and, you know, even the upper echelons of that group

pitch into this because that will give it even more firepower.

So this is all very much like still in progress.

It's going to take a long time.

It's going to take a long time to know.

And I think you need to see like how many families at least contribute something, right?

I think, you know, on the macro level, it will have a modest impact, um,

You know, but it's at the micro level where it's like, what does each individual family choose to do with it that will make a difference?

Also, I mean, I think it's fair to say that because this is a blanket target, right, there's no income basis for how the Trump administration is giving out the funds.

The people who are going to benefit from the most are the ones who have the most to contribute.
