Donald Trump hailed a gift from Michael and Susan Dell to jumpstart investment accounts for American children, expanding a signature initiative from the president’s tax law that has drawn support from corporate and financial leaders.
The program will give “middle-class families a stake in American prosperity, a benefit from the rising stock market, and a better shot at the American Dream,” Trump said at a White House event to tout the donation, where he was joined by the founder and chief executive officer of Dell Technologies Inc. and his wife. “This is truly one of the most generous acts in the history of our country.”
