Baby Boomer: Trump's Plan for us to Procreate
President Trump likes the idea of a Baby Boom. He is calling himself “the fertilization president,” a far-fetched claim that matches his earlier boast that he’s “the father of IVF.” Trump declares that he wants more babies, but the man who’s never changed a diaper is only interested in babies born to white, married, heterosexual couples.
Talk is cheap, but when it comes to the president’s record, he is promoting everything except programs that actually help families in need. There is a vast difference between being pro-birth and being pro-life.
His vice president, J. D. Vance, was inspired earlier when visiting Viktor Orban’s Hungary. Vance discovered Hungarian couples receive a generous baby bonus. Women under 40 are eligible for a free loan of 10,000 florints (around $35,000 U.S.) that need not be paid back if they have three or more children. If they have four children, they are exempt from personal income tax for life. Hungary offers other benefits: help buying cars and housing, free day care, and kindergarten access.
Hungary instituted this family-oriented program in response to that nation’s falling birthrate. But, despite spending around 5 percent of its gross national product on the effort, Hungary hasn’t experienced a turn-around. On the contrary, the country’s birthrate has fallen from 1.51 births per woman to 1.3 births, which is well below replacement levels.

JD Vance has some pretty disturbing role models.
