Donald Trump drew criticism and supportive responses on X after telling children they were 'so good looking' during an Oval Office event about investment accounts for young Americans on 7 October 2026. Ed Krassenstein shared footage of the exchange and described it as 'creepy', while other users defended the remark as a compliment.
The event celebrated automatic enrolment in Trump Accounts, which the Treasury Department had announced was complete on 1 October. The administration said roughly 70 million children now had accounts, although parents or guardians must claim them before managing investments and contributions.
