Ah, I had missed Trump accounts because they originally couldn't hold individual stocks according to how congress defined them in the legislation. I was not aware Trump and co were trying to do an end-run around the legislation by arguing that the law doesn't prohibit corporations from donating individual shares.
However, that's a pretty new development, is controversial, and its unclear how it would really work, especially in tandem with the other rules.

The fear is that trump stays on even if he can't legally remain president. That's an entirely different thing.
People are afraid that Bush will declare martial law and institute a christian theocracy, oh no!
The D team is always afraid the president will become a dictator, and the R team is always afraid the president is the anti-christ.
Both teams are idiots.

Hate to Godwin this topic so early,
Yeah, you shouldn't have.
If the only historical example you can think of is "Nazi", then you probably didn't learn any history at all after high school. If you had any knowledge of history at all, you could point to the 1804 gubernatorial election, or look from a political standpoint at the stoning of Stephen (which distilled was a factional competition for control between factions).
But you don't have knowledge of history, you're just a parrot: reaching for whatever example you heard recently.

Its a little tricky too, as children generally don't have suitable investment accounts that can hold publicly traded shares. I'm doubtful they even legally can open those accounts.
So what are they going to do, issue a gazillion single paper share certificates? What a shitshow that would be, the fees and shipping alone around dealing with that for a single share would be nuts, not to mention the hassle of redeeming them, and the untold numbers that would be misplaced or destroyed. And I'm still not sure children can own them, or sign the agreements required to get them.
What else could the do? Create beneficial trusts for every child? Whose going to administer that? and again the fees and management expenses around it would be nuts all for a $150 space-x share?
It might be reasonable for him to set a bunch aside, and as children reach adulthood, let them claim them at that point.
If the idea is that the kid can't sell it or whatever until they're an adult anyway, its probably fine. It'll be income maybe when they receive it, so that could work out badly for some kids though, if they have to sell it to cover the taxes on it, because they don't have a job yet. Especially if its appreciated to a couple thousand or something. (How are splits etc handled, do they get one or more? Or worse... reverse splits on a single share?)

Given how most of the rioters are masked, and many of them are clearly white, I don't think iTs AlL iMMigAnNTSS is proven.
In any event, the French riot constantly, and have for decades, well before you saw large increases in immigration.

Google Chrome trounces Edge despite Microsoft.
Which is pretty funny, since the only major difference between the two these days is "Is Google spying on you, or is Microsoft?"

I regret that one. I was going to start mining for fun back when you could do it on a CPU, but I heard some people here on Slashdot making fun of it so I decided not to. Never again. If something looks fun, I don't care what other people say. Also, the Tesla rocket car is sweet, no matter what you think of Elon. Anyone who says otherwise is a hater.
