“Treasury will see the accounts with a thousand dollars. For children 18 and under.”
TRUE
What the record shows
Treasury deposits $1,000 into Trump Accounts for children born 2025-2028 only, not all children 18 and under. Older children can have accounts but receive no federal seed money.
Core claim confirmed but misleadingly framed. $1,000 is limited to newborns born 2025-2028, not all children under 18.
