Trump's White House Remarks Send Dell Stock Higher, Sparking Internal Embarrassment
The Daily Beast—President Trump made comments from the White House that caused a notable and immediate spike in Dell Technologies' stock price, raising ethical concerns about the president using his platform to move markets in favor of a specific company. The incident reportedly enraged White House staff after it became public, suggesting the stock movement had not been intentional and created unwanted scrutiny.
