Trump Rings NYSE/Nasdaq Bells From White House to Launch 'Trump Accounts' for Kids
- President Trump remotely rang the opening bells of the NYSE and Nasdaq from the Oval Office on July 6 to formally launch 'Trump Accounts,' a new child-investment vehicle seeded with a $1,000 government contribution for kids born 2025-2028 and accepting up to $5,000 in annual additions (Fox Business, https://foxbusiness.com/politics/trump-rings-nyse-nasdaq-opening-bells-celebrate-launch-trump-accounts).
- It marked the first joint opening-bell ceremony between the two exchanges, a marketing splash aimed at embedding the accounts into the broader 250th-anniversary economic narrative.
- Trump separately told reporters the stock market 'is going to go through the roof,' a rare on-record presidential call on equities direction (MarketWatch bulletin).
