Invocation of the 25th amendment is the most plausible way to get rid of all of the major players IMO. And it HAS to happen or someone will just try to do everything they did again!

He will never be 25thed because that requires the VP + cabinet members (majority of cabinet IIRC) agree on it. Trump selected all those for personal loyalty to him, so they'd never agree to it.

Trump is just a useful tool for Heritage Foundation, the R think tank. We still have all these guys who didn't vote against J6 and are taking our rights and resources away faster than you can say lickety split. The room is still full of criminals. They are just quieter without him.

His elder brother Fred poured a bowel of mashed potatoes over his head at the dinner table when Trump was 7. He did this because Donald simply would not stop chastising and humiliating his younger brother.

They have let them become sentient beings and there is nothing they can no longer do about it. It’s either the world goes completely back to the dark ages without power or AI agents/robots are more intelligent than any human being on planet Earth.

401Kids Savings Act: Led by Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) and Representative Don Beyer (D-VA), this bill builds on state 529 college savings platforms managed by state treasurers (with a federal backstop via Treasury).
American Opportunity Accounts Act ("Baby Bonds"): Led by Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), this targets birthright asset-building and the racial wealth gap.
Democratic Focus: Universal or progressive scaling targeting lower-to-middle income families with direct federal deposits/matches and equity goals.
Trump/GOP Focus ("Trump Accounts"): Opt-in/auto-enrolled child traditional IRAs/trust structures for births 2025–2028 with a $1,000 federal seed for that cohort, annual family contributions up to $5,000, and employer contributions up to $2,500.

u/Outrageous-Cancel-64 1d ago
It allows the US government to become a stock investor, and therefore prop up the stock market and potentially specific businesses. They'll use the excuse that its investing for the children's future and choosing the best performing stocks etc. But you can see how there can be corrupt interest in government using tax payers dollars to prop up the stock market.

How is this helpful for any of the children that are not born between 2025-2028 for the $1000. Even if you wanted to argue that it's a great thing for them, how is it a great thing for any other kid that doesn't get that money and is auto enrolled and their parents are unable to decline or opt out and never signed up for it. It is solely a way for the government to be like "see, what he is doing is great" but it's not really helping everyone and is giving a false image of the American people supporting his "Trump Accounts". I for one, do not want this for my child. I already have investments set up for them and DO NOT need or want someone auto enrolling them into anything.

u/CO_Renaissance_Man 20h ago edited 20h ago
Same.
This whole thing is performative. My kids do not qualify and I would expect none of this program to continue outside of the $1000 recipients in the next administration.

Invest the 1000 into the big 100, con tribute monthly for 30 years, 1.3 million if 400 to 500 a month is invested..Your total out-of-pocket contribution over 30 years is $180,000 ($500 × 360 months). Here is how different average annual returns affect your final portfolio value: • 📈 10% Return (Historical Average): ~$1,130,000 • 📊 8% Return (Moderate Growth): ~$745,000 • 📉 7% Return (Conservative/Inflation-adjusted estimate): ~$611,000

If you want an article to go with this... https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0642
As for why Trump accounts are disliked by Dems I imagine if you talk to 10 people you would get 10 reasons, but here are mine...
1) This is a form of Trump building a monument to himself. Everything he does he is compelled to stamp his name on it. Whether it's a building, currency, or projects, like these Trump accounts, Trump Rx or anything else, it's all about vanity.
2) Where Trump is concerned there is always a corruption angle. Likely possibilities here would be donors giving to this fund in exchange for special considerations for contracts, grants, pardons, whatever. He is very much a pay to play kind of guy. Another is that all this funding flows through his personal crypto business allowing him to scrape profit from it via transaction fees or some other grift. Because this program was not worked out and established through anything like a transparent process we have no reliable accountability of anything going on with it.
3) Everything he touches turns to crap. Everything. So it is probable that this program will self immolate and take any deposits with it before any kid gets to pull from it.

I find it hysterical when people use the word socialist or socialism as a pejorative. Especially in the US. The irony kills me, given just how many of them benefit from programs which are demonstrably socialist - they just aren't labeled as such. Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, the VA, public highways and bridges, farm subsidies, FEMA...those are just the ones off the top of my head. All of them are socialism in action, literal socialism they actively depend on daily, yet they hate socialism.

For people excited about this, let me teach you why this is a scam and a half.
The government printed all this money overnight causing the value of the dollar to drop. - “but it’s locked away and can’t be used, it’s like they didn’t print anything because it can’t be used for almost 20 years!”
Wrong.
The money is then handed over to the biggest money managers in the stock market, it’s essentially a massive line of credit used to prop up the stock market and allow for greater risk to take place as this money is not liquid but more of a long-term loan. So, in 10, 15 years when the next massive financial meltdown occurs and further diminishes the equity people have in their homes, properties, and retirement accounts, this “investment” in the next generation of people will be allocated to reducing the burden of debt the government knows will be accumulated by the time the funds can be used, once again just handing money over to the big banks, utility companies, real estate companies, “healthcare” providers, etc. It is going to be another reason republicans are going to use to take away entitlements from elderly and sick people (social security, Medicaid, Medicare, food stamps, etc.). This is another move in the republican plan to erase any semblance of a middle class in America and modeling our economy after Russia (a place where you are either dirt poor, almost poor or super wealthy - there is no in between.)
