At the start of May, president Donald Trump thanked Michael and Susan Dell (yes, those Dells) for donating over $6 billion to 'Trump Accounts,' reportedly going toward at least 25 million children in America. In that thank-you speech, he urged listeners to "go out and buy a Dell." That was after Trump filed that he purchased somewhere between $1 million and $5 million in Dell stocks, and just before the War Department signed a $9.7 billion deal with Dell. Now, just under two months later, Trump has once again urged listeners to buy Dell.
As posted by Headquarters on X (and shared via live stream to the official White House YouTube page), Trump recently encouraged those attending a press conference to "Go out and buy a Dell Computer" and said he has "a son that loves their laptop". Referring to the over $6 billion donation figure, Trump points at Michael Dell and says, "We're gonna get him that money back one way or the other."
