通过9月下旬的两项重大调整，美国财政部将“特朗普账户”计划重塑为一种全新且非同寻常的事物：一个全民儿童投资工具，数百万儿童将获得个股形式的捐赠股票，这些股票在五年内既无法拒绝也无法出售。
With two sweeping late-September changes, the Treasury Department transformed the Trump Accounts program into something new and extraordinary: A universal child investment vehicle where millions of kids will receive donated stocks in individual companies that they can’t reject and can’t sell for five years.
在上周之前，“特朗普账户”对儿童而言是一项新颖且可选的指数基金投资，已有约七00万名注册者。政府曾向新生儿账户注入1000美元资金，雇主们承诺为员工子女提供缴款，迈克尔·戴尔和苏珊·戴尔等慈善家也进行了现金捐赠。
Before last week, Trump Accounts were a novel, optional index-fund investment for children with about seven million sign-ups. The government was seeding newborns’ accounts with $1,000. Employers were pledging contributions to workers’ children. Philanthropists such as Michael and Susan Dell were making cash donations.
