Billionaire Michael Dell hits back after trolls mock wife Susan's appearance at White House

Dell founder Michael Dell appears to have taken a swipe at internet trolls who attacked his wife Susan’s looks after a recent White House appearance.

Susan, 62, went viral after she appeared alongside her billionaire husband - the CEO and chairman of tech company Dell Technologies - in the Oval Office on 7 October.

In a clip shared online, President Donald Trump can be seen talking while Susan stands behind him in a red dress.

The pair were in attendance after they contributed $6.25 billion to ‘help 25 million children start building a strong financial foundation’.

Commenting on the scheme, Susan said: “Over the past month, as our contribution reached millions of children’s accounts, Michael and I have heard from so many parents and kids and grandparents with these beautiful letters that have truly moved us.

“Children have told us that they want to become entrepreneurs... nurses, doctors, engineers. They want to build their own companies some day.”

“We’ve heard from parents and grandparents who share what it means to them.

“To know that there is an investment in their child’s future. These things are so wonderful and so important. It’s not just the money that matters... Knowing someone believes in you and your future that matters just as much.”

However, their philanthropic deed was overlooked after cruel trolls took aim at Susan’s appearance online, where the clip was branded 'one of the weirdest things' and 'not real'.

In response her husband Michael has since shared posts from several people who have called out the cruel comments and urged people to leave Susan alone.

One post shared by Michael on his X account read: "My grandson got 250 dollars in his Trump account from Susan Dell. Please leave that woman alone."

Michael also reposted another tweet that had been written in response to a post condemning the criticism of Susan, that read: “It’s truly insane how evil and full of themselves people are. I signed my kids up and wasn’t expecting to get anything as we live in a wealthy county and city. Out of the blue $250 showed up from Dell for both of my boys. I will go out of my way to support them now, who else has done what they did? No one…”

Michael has since shared a series of sweet letters, drawings and cards sent to he and his wife by children thanking them for their donation.

Eric Trump has also hit back

Donald Trump’s son Eric has also hit out at the 'vicious attacks' on Susan's appearance.

In a post on X, he wrote: “People are awful. Susan and Michael Dell just put $6.25 billion into Trump Accounts for 25 million kids so they’ll have something waiting for them when they grow up—one of, if not the largest private donation in American History.

“The response? Vicious attacks on her.

“I’m tired of this nonsense. Very few people have done more for philanthropy. It’s disgusting and it has to stop.

“Susan, on behalf of the overwhelming majority of people in this nation: Thank You!! You are incredible!”
