Speaking from the White House on Monday to announce the launch of “Trump accounts,” a new government-backed investment initiative for children, the president explicitly told the public to “go out and buy a Dell computer.” The endorsement came as Trump thanked billionaire company founder Michael Dell and his wife, Susan, for their massive $6.25 billion donation to fund the youth accounts, News.Az reports, citing Market Watch.
Following the shout-out, Dell’s stock skyrocketed nearly 9% in early trading before losing momentum and settling at a more modest 3.9% gain by the afternoon.

This isn’t the first time the president’s words have moved Dell’s market cap. Trump issued similar buy recommendations in February and May, both of which triggered immediate stock surges. However, the recurring endorsements have begun drawing intense scrutiny.
A recent financial disclosure revealed that President Trump personally owns more than $1 million worth of Dell stock. Ethical concerns escalated further after the Department of Defense awarded a massive $9.7 billion blanket purchase agreement to a Dell subsidiary, raising sharp questions about the intersection of the president’s personal portfolio and federal contract decisions.
Yet, experts note that Trump’s vocal support isn’t the only thing driving the tech giant’s staggering 221% stock surge this year.
Behind the political headlines, Dell is quietly riding an unprecedented artificial intelligence boom. The company recently reported a jaw-dropping 757% year-over-year increase in AI server revenue, netting $16.1 billion in a single quarter. With a massive $51.3 billion AI order backlog and raised revenue projections of $60 billion for fiscal 2027, Dell’s underlying tech infrastructure business remains incredibly robust—even when the political hype fades.

The Pentagon suspended a plan to send 4,000 troops to Poland in November, which drew criticism from Republicans and Democrats, News.Az reports, citing UPI.

“The rotational presence of American troops in Poland, which was suspended a few weeks ago, is being resumed,” Kosinak-Kamysz said at an event in Bydgoszcz, Poland. “It will continue, and in the coming weeks this process will be fully implemented.”
After receiving criticism for pausing on sending troops to Poland, President Donald Trump told lawmakers he would send 5,000 troops. However, that did not happen, leading some Republicans to say they would vote against his request for $88 billion for the war with Iran.
“The president’s directed it, but he’s not done it, so I’d like to see him act on that,” Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., said last month.
Bacon is a member of the House Armed Services Committee.
Kosinak-Kamysz was speaking at an event to sign a deal for Poland to produce cruise missiles for the United States. He said the rotation of American troops has been confirmed by the deputy U.S. ambassador and U.S. military diplomat to Poland.
Marcin Przydacz, foreign policy adviser to Polish President Karol Nawrocki, said last week that he believes the 5,000 troops Trump pledged to send would be replacing troops stationed in Poland, not adding to the total headcount. However, it remains unclear how the new rotation will work.
There are about 10,000 troops currently stationed in Poland.
