President Trump is backing a controversial proposal to offer new moms a $5,000 “”baby bonus”” in an effort to combat America\u2019s declining birthrate. The idea, first reported by The New York Times, is part of a broader push by the White House, influenced by outside pronatalist groups, to promote marriage and family growth. When asked about the proposal, Trump told The New York Post, \u201cSounds like a good idea to me.\u201d Other suggested measures include favoring married or parenting applicants for Fulbright scholarships and launching fertility education programs.<\/p>\n
Reactions have been mixed. NYU medical ethics professor Art Caplan called the bonus \u201cmorally offensive,\u201d arguing it favors certain demographics and ignores immigrant families who also need support. Meanwhile, conservative strategist Rina Shah said the initiative acknowledges the economic pressures families face, but noted a one-time $5,000 payment likely won\u2019t cover the true costs of raising a child. Online commenters echoed that sentiment, suggesting the money would vanish quickly and calling for stricter eligibility requirements. The debate continues \u2014 and so does the conversation about how to address the nation\u2019s baby bust. #whitehousenews #trumpnews #digitalnews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" President Trump is backing a controversial proposal to offer new moms a $5,000 “”baby bonus”” in an effort to combat<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11957,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-trending"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nicheblog.top\/viralvideos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nicheblog.top\/viralvideos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nicheblog.top\/viralvideos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nicheblog.top\/viralvideos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nicheblog.top\/viralvideos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11955"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nicheblog.top\/viralvideos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11955\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nicheblog.top\/viralvideos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nicheblog.top\/viralvideos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nicheblog.top\/viralvideos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nicheblog.top\/viralvideos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
