NBC Newscasts Ignore, ABC's 'GMA' Trashes Trump Accounts for Babies

On Wednesday, President Trump announced alongside rapper Nicki Minaj the creation of "Trump Accounts" of $1,000 each for any American child born between last year on January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028 to grow until they're 18 years old. With the ability for parents and businesses to contribute, it could reach upwards of $300,000. Between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, NBC didn't see as reason to cover it on NBC Nightly News and Today. Worse yet, ABC skipped it on World News Tonight only to bring it up on Good Morning America in order to scoff at its potential and imply it's not particularly worthwhile unless you're extremely wealthy. Co-host Michael Strahan teased it twice and, on both occasions, kept it vague by promising to share "what we know about how it will work" and then "the latest on what the President is urging new parents to opt into for their babies and what he's promising."
