President Donald Trump has recently announced a plan to provide U.S. newborns with free money, which he is calling "Trump Accounts."
These accounts start your newborn with their own investment portfolio.
What are the details of the plan, what do you have to do to be eligible and why are Republicans and billionaires so enthusiastic about it?
How does the account compare to other plans like Ohio’s 529 plan, and other financial plans for children in the United States?
