Published | Video Starts at 23:11

This was the idea of our nation when it was founded in 1776 and it is the idea of our nation being refounded in 2026. In that sense, Trump Accounts are the defining policy of America's 250th anniversary. By expanding equity ownership to all citizens, President Trump is restoring the promise of our Founding Fathers, revitalizing the social contract and helping secure American prosperity for the next 250 years. All families can participate and own part of the American dream. And with your help, we will succeed. Whether you are a philanthropist, a family member, or an employer, all of you here will play a critical role in this effort. (23:11–23:27)
