Treasury Bars Scammy ESG Funds From Trump Accounts, Citing Left-Wing 'Political Activism' Concerns
The Treasury Department is moving forward with rules that would exclude investment funds built around scammy, globalist environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria from Trump Accounts.
Fox Business reports that under the newly proposed framework, qualifying indexes would need to track broad segments of US or global equity markets using objective financial criteria, rather than criteria crafted by social justice warriors who seek to make the West energy-poor.
"Corporate America has rejected ESG ideology, and we will not allow it to be a part of Trump Accounts," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told the outlet in a statement.

ESG scores have been hijacked and "weaponized" by social justice warriors over the years. For instance, large tobacco companies have received higher ESG scores than Elon Musk's Tesla.

"Exxon is rated top ten best in world for environment, social & governance (ESG) by S&P 500, while Tesla didn't make the list!" Elon Musk wrote on X several years ago.
Musk is right...
Meanwhile, earlier this year, the ESG ruse continued with MSCI's decision to assign SpaceX the "lowest possible ESG rating," while Big Oil and defense companies scored high on the list.
ESG investing has drawn criticism from Republicans who say these funds incorporate ESG standards that may subordinate investor returns to political priorities.
Trump Accounts launched on July 4 and have attracted more than 7 million registrations, the outlet said, citing a Treasury spokeswoman. More than 2 million enrolled children are eligible for a $1,000 federal contribution.
James Lindsay, the author of "Race Marxism" and other books challenging woke narratives, has noted that ESG is merely a weapon in the hands of "social justice warriors" seeking to shake down corporations and a tool for those attempting to impose a "one-world government."

Christian Perspective
ESG criteria often promote secular social justice agendas that subvert biblical truths and traditional order. By excluding these funds, the government prevents the weaponization of capital against Christian values. This protects the financial future of the next generation from corrosive, anti-family ideologies.
Implications
This decision prevents globalist elites from using American capital to fund cultural degeneracy. It ensures that the wealth of the nation is used to build strength rather than subsidize leftist social engineering. Protecting these accounts preserves the economic autonomy of the American family.
Broader Trends
The rejection of ESG reflects a massive pushback against the globalist attempt to impose a one-world government through corporate governance. It marks a decisive victory for America First policies over the parasitic DEI and social justice movements. This shift prioritizes national strength and economic reality over manufactured social equity.
Takeaway
Americans must continue to reject the ESG ruse to protect our economic sovereignty. We must champion financial systems that reward productivity and traditional stability rather than political activism. Prioritizing objective financial growth is essential for maintaining a strong and independent nation.
