House GOP Slammed After Finding Groanworthy New Way To Honor Trump In Budget Bill

Republicans were called out after they changed the name of a savings account program to the "Trump Trust" in President Donald Trump's honor.

Initially named the Money Account for Growth and Advancement—or MAGA Account—the program was renamed the Trump Account by the House on Wednesday night. It would establish a federally funded savings account with a $1,000 deposit for every child born between January 1, 2025, and January 1, 2029.

And consider what Representative Morgan Griffith had to say about the bill—and what it says about Trump's cult of personality:

"All of this language was in the original bill and they were creating a new trust for a child born in a four or five year period ... you could set up a trust and there are all sorts of rules about the qualifications of the trustee. ..."

"The name of the trust was originally going to be the MAGA trust and the government was going to put in $1,000 for each child and set up and it was going to be called the MAGA trust. We changed it to Trump Trust."

You can hear what he said in the video below.

It was a largely unsatisfactory explanation but it no doubt demonstrated how much the GOP is willing to march in lockstep behind the president despite his highly unpopular policies.

Many were quick to call this out.

The “Big Beautiful Bill” not only prompted the renaming of the MAGA Account to the Trump Trust but also introduces sweeping policy shifts. It includes extensions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and proposes eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay, and allocates $46 billion for border wall construction.

However, it also includes significant spending cuts—most notably to programs like food stamps and Medicaid—even as Trump insisted that Medicaid cuts were not on the table. Despite that claim, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that approximately 7.6 million Americans would lose health coverage under the bill.

Additionally, the legislation imposes new requirements, mandating proof of employment to receive care.
