as posted by the channel

American babies born during U.S. President Donald Trump's second term are set to receive $1,000: a gift of seed money that the government says — if contributed to maximally — will yield a return of more than $1 million by the time those children turn 28. Andrew Chang does the math to calculate the extent to which this could actually be possible and fact-checks the claim that Trump Accounts will 'jumpstart the American dream.'
