Trump says bonuses for moms after they have child ‘sounds like a good idea’

  • President Trump expressed support for a $5,000 cash bonus for new mothers during an interview, stating, 'Sounds like a good idea to me,' as a strategy to increase U.S. Birth rates.
  • In 2023, U.S. Birthrates reached a 44-year low, with fewer than 3.6 million babies born, raising concerns among officials.
  • Commentator Maggie Anders criticized the proposed $5,000 baby bonus, stating it is 'wasteful and won't make a dent,' especially given the average annual cost of raising a child is $23,000.
  • The discussion on incentives for increasing birthrates highlights international comparisons, such as Hungary's efforts, which have not successfully reversed their declining birth rate.
