Donald Trump made a bizarre — and likely untrue — claim about America’s first president on Monday as he tried to justify his family’s staggering gain in personal wealth during his return to the White House.
The president was speaking at a White House event launching Trump Accounts, a partially tax-free investment account for children that allows parents and others to contribute money for a child’s future use on schooling or housing, when he said that under good market conditions, children who began investing today would be the recipients of “hundreds of thousands of dollars” in the future.
