A little over five years ago, I had an idea on how to give every newborn American a stake in capitalism. Today, President @realDonaldTrump made that idea a reality with Trump Accounts.

AI Verified The quote is about giving 'every newborn American a stake in capitalism' and says that idea was implemented with 'Trump Accounts,' which matches the full idea of a universal capital endowment at birth. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 14d ago

AI Verified The quote clearly endorses the idea: the author says they had an idea to "give every newborn American a stake in capitalism" and that it was "made... a reality with Trump Accounts." · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 14d ago

AI Verified Verified. A mirror of the exact status ID (`BillAckman/status/2016602929965253106`) shows a post by Bill Ackman (@BillAckman) containing the supplied two sentences, then continuing with additional text; so your quote is a faithful verbatim excerpt with omitted continuation. A separate January 29, 2026 Benzinga report also reproduces the same wording and attributes it to Ackman’s X post.
