A viralTikTok soundclaims that PresidentDonald Trumpapproved a $1,200 payment for single mothers, butit isn't real. "Breaking news, Trump just announced a new plan: $1,200 a month forstay-at-home moms," an apparently fake newscaster voice says over a montage of Trump signing executive orders and mothers taking care of kids in a video. It was posted around May 29. "No job, no problem....single moms and low-income families get priority." The voiceover was used in several similar videos, some of them with tens of thousands of likes and shares on the platform. It goes on to sayTrump proposeda way to make parenting a full-time job under federal law, another false tidbit, before inviting users to weigh in on the idea in the comments. Here is what we know about the fake TikTok news clips. Trump and Pepe the Frog:2016 campaign turned meme political. Then it became a hate symbol No. Trump has not yet announced any executive efforts to directly pay stay-at-home moms. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the fake videos. The Republican tax bill making its way through Congress, dubbed by Trump as the "Big Beautiful Bill," has some provisions that could bring more money to young families One part of the bill is a new savings account called "Trump Accounts." It would give aone-time $1,000 paymentinto a savings account for any babies born between January 2025 and January 2029. The savings account would be invested in a fund that would grow with the U.S. stock market, and parents could contribute up to $5,000 a year. The babies would be able to use some of the funds for select expenses after the age of 18, and the full account after the age of 30. The bill would also boost the child tax credit. But the hefty piece of legislation is not yet law; next, it will be considered by the Senate, where it could be further amended after the House voted to pass it on May 22.
