Trump plugs Dell at White House opening bell, shares soar

“Go out and buy a Dell computer,” Trump said. It wasn’t the first time he’s made that pitch. He did so in May when lauding Dell CEO Michael Dell and his wife, Susan, who have pledged to donate more than $6 billion to the “Trump Accounts,” program, which launched July 4.

Trump, who has disclosed actively trading Dell shares, said he wants the couple to make back the money they’re giving to the accounts.

“We’re going to get him that money back one way or the other — and then I’ll ask for another $6 billion ... We’ll start the whole process all over again,” Trump said.
