I've just received notice from the IRS that I may now claim the "Trump Accounts" that have been designated for my two kids, ages 4 and 11. However, fuck that motherfucker and his scheme to bribe minors, and their parents, at the national level. What's a sensible person to do with free money like this?
During Trump's last benighted presidency, as some of you may remember, Fearless Leader, in his compassion, bestowed upon us lucky citizens monetary gifts - each, as I recall, about several hundred dollars. I promptly redirected mine to Black Lives Matter, because that seemed like a worthwhile cause, and because it was a suitable fuck-you to Trump.
Regarding these Trump Accounts, I'm not sure I can do the same thing, as they'd be in my kids' names. Neither am I sure how much money they'd contain, nor am I confident about the viability of these accounts as investment instruments. We are fortunate in that the $1000 in each of these accounts is not a make-or-break amount for us; we can live without it, but, hey, free money.
What's an ethical person to do with unethical, earmarked-for-children money like this? Simply let it go unclaimed? (If we do that, does Trump "get to keep it"?) Withdraw the money and reinvest it into the most socialistic cause I can come up with? I don't want to "rob my kids," but I also consider this to be dirty money - a bribe, plain and simple.
