[Verse 1]
Every baby born in America gets a thousand dollar seed
Trump Accounts planted at birth, a savings plan guaranteed
Le Monde is watching closely as the policy takes hold
A thousand bucks in a newborn's name, that's the story being told
Economists are squinting, parents signing up in rows
Whether it blooms or withers, only compound interest knows
[Chorus]
This is July sixteen, the news is pouring in
From the White House to the headlines, let the briefing begin
Trump Accounts for newborns, a primetime speech at night
Election talk six years later, back beneath the spotlight
The date is stamped, the ink is wet, the headlines don't rotate
July sixteenth, twenty-twenty-six — absorb it, calibrate
[Verse 2]
Thursday night, primetime slot, the President takes the stage
Six years of election obsession finally got a page
Al Jazeera called it really big, Toronto Star took notes
The White House polished every word before it cleared their throats
An extraordinary meeting happened somewhere behind closed doors
Gold and secrets, never-ending sessions on the upper floors
NPR got Fresh Air treatment, spilling what the walls have heard
Velvet curtains, borrowed leverage, every calculated word
[Chorus]
This is July sixteen, the news is pouring in
From the White House to the headlines, let the briefing begin
Trump Accounts for newborns, a primetime speech at night
Election talk six years later, back beneath the spotlight
The date is stamped, the ink is wet, the headlines don't rotate
July sixteenth, twenty-twenty-six — absorb it, calibrate
[Bridge]
Now pivot west to the border question, nineteen-eighty-two
An immigration law from eighteen-eighty-two got dusted off and used
The White House defending rules that blocked Chinese arrivals then
Forbes reported the defense, the debate is lit again
And up in Canada they're checking produce on the shelf
Cyclosporiasis spreading — wash your vegetables yourself
The private sector mobilized to treat malnutrition's toll
American investment reaching bodies, not just bankrolls
[Chorus]
This is July sixteen, the news is pouring in
From the White House to the headlines, let the briefing begin
Trump Accounts for newborns, a primetime speech at night
Election talk six years later, back beneath the spotlight
The date is stamped, the ink is wet, the headlines don't rotate
July sixteenth, twenty-twenty-six — absorb it, calibrate
[Outro]
Newborns banking, speeches planned, old laws pulled from the shelf
Malnutrition, parasites — go check the news yourself
July sixteenth stacked its stories dense as dictionary pages
That's your Wednesday wrapped in rhythm — we'll be back for the next ages
