Millions have signed up for Trump Accounts, but some families are still waiting for baby’s $1,000 
WASHINGTON (AP)  At a rally Wednesday, President Donald Trump touted the $1,000 babies can receive when their parents open Trump Accounts in their names, seed money that Trump says will help give them “a really fair shot at the American dream.” 
“Think of that. 
The government is finally giving money back to our children,” Trump said to the crowd gathered at a Georgia high school 
Some parents who opened accounts earlier this month for their babies say they’re still waiting for their $1,000. 
The accounts went live July 4, two days before Trump rang the opening bells for the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq from the Oval Office. 
For babies born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028 get $1,000 in seed money from the U.S. 
Treasury. 
Most of those families receive their $1,000 in one or two days, the Treasury Department said. 
After the Trump Accounts are set up, parents, relatives, friends and employers can contribute to them. 
Some billionaires have also pledged philanthropic contributions to the accounts. 
The money is turned over to private firms that invest it in index funds, a type of mutual fund that tracks the performance of the stock market. 
The money can’t be accessed until the child turns 18, and only then for specific purposes, such as going to school, opening a business or buying a home. 
Boosters of the program say it’s a chance to give more Americans a stake in the stock market. 
They hope it will stem the rising popularity of democratic socialists, who seek to raise taxes on corporations and wealthy people to ease the cost of things like food and healthcare for low-income and middle-class Americans.
