Trump's executive order enables his son's gold peddling scheme

Donald Trump Jr. is profiting from an executive order signed by his father, President Donald Trump.

The presidential executive order signed in Aug. of 2025 paved the way for alternative assets like crypto and gold to be invested in 401(k) retirement accounts.

By January of 2026, Donald Trump Jr. was using the executive order to sell gold.

"Donald Trump Jr. here with an urgent message about retirement accounts in America," the president's son says in a commercial for Birch Gold. "My father just changed 401(k)s forever by initiating the process that will allow gold into 401(k)s."

"You can use this strategy today," he adds. "With a self-directed gold IRA from the Birch Gold Group, you can convert your IRA or 401(k) into an account with all the same tax benefits."

"Do it now before the rest of America jumps in."
