YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Michael Dell, the billionaire founder of Dell Technologies, and his wife, have pledged more than $6 billion to the Trump administration, with the funds designated for investment accounts for children known as Trump accounts.

The Dells' donation will provide $250 each to 25 million eligible children under the age of 10 who live in zip codes where the median household income falls below $150,000. Mr. Trump's tax bill created the accounts, which will be rolled out next summer. Withdrawals from the accounts cannot be made until a child turns 18.
