President Trump sprung into action Wednesday when a small child wandered near the edge of the stage during a speech in Nevada.
The scene played out after the president invited a young Las Vegas couple to join him on stage at the Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa to share how they’ve benefitted from his no tax on tips and no tax on overtime policies and the administration’s new Trump Accounts for kids.
The couple, Sandra and Brad, quickly appeared on stage with their two young children in tow.
“That’s a beautiful family,” Trump gushed, even offering to help handle one of the tots while mom spoke.
As Sandra went up to the podium, the toddler bolted toward the end of the stage.
Trump, a father of 5 and grandfather of 11, immediately noticed that the young boy had made a break for it.
The president took a few quick steps, reached the boy and led him back toward the center of the stage.
“I don’t want him to be Biden and fall off the stage,” Trump quipped, in an apparent dig at former President Joe Biden’s infamous on-stage fall at the 2023 US Air Force Academy graduation ceremony.
The lighthearted moment delighted the laughing and cheering crowd.
At the end of her remarks, Sandra picked up the young boy and told Trump that he wanted “to say a little something to you.”
“Thank you for my Trump Account,” the little boy said into the microphone, prompting another round of applause.
“Good job,” Trump beamed.
The president noted that Sandra, a Las Vegas casino waitress, and Brad, an officer with Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, have “saved thousands of dollars” by taking advantage of the tax benefits included in the the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
“They’re investing their savings into Sandra’s education and Trump Accounts,” the commander-chief said.
The Trump administration is depositing $1,000 into the new IRA, tax-advantaged investment accounts for kids born between Jan. 1, 2025 and Dec. 31, 2028.
