We now know how the Trump administration was fascinated by the idea of having more children, and this can be seen with the people with which the US president surrounded himself. Defense Minister Pete Hegseth has four children from his two marriages, Elon Musk has 14 children of different women, Donald Trump is the father of five children himself and the list continues. And that was clear when President Donald Trump promised to be the ‘fertilization president’ and vice president JD Vance’s alleged dislike for the ‘childless cat ladies’, which set a row on fire. The Trump administration now aims to increase the declining birth rate of America by providing incentives to mothers, including baby bursaries, bursaries and more. Since the 1990s, the US birth rate has fallen sharply, with experts citing factors such as high cost of living as important reasons. According to a report in New York Times, the Trump administration is making a variety of incentives to encourage childbirth, including a “baby bonus” of $ 5,000 for new mothers, extensive child tax credits and 30 percent reservation in federal programs such as Fulbright Societies for married individuals or parents. Funding for education on the menstrual cycle of women is also considered to help women understand when they ovulate and when they can conceive. But it’s not for everyone. The bonus only goes out to the couples who are married. “Our ultimate goal is not only more babies, but more families formed,” Emma Waters, a policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation, told the NYT. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement that the policy is aimed at lifting the American families and “the president wants America to be a country where all children can grow up safely and realize the American dream.” According to a CDC release of April 2024, the general fertility rate in the United States fell by 3 percent from 2022, which was the second consecutive year of decline.
