The initiative allows eligible children born between 2025 and 2028 to receive a $1,000 seed deposit from the US government in an investment account. The Dells have pledged billions of dollars towards the programme.During the appearance, Susan urged parents and grandparents to ensure their children and grandchildren sign up for the accounts.

Maybe overdone her exercise regimen and wearing way too much makeup (eyebrows way too dark). She is trying too hard to be proper.”Others resorted to more extreme comparisons. “I never bought into the whole ‘lizard people’ thing, but I now believe I have been dead wrong,” a third user wrote.A separate comment read, “That’s what addiction to cosmetic surgery looks like. When you have access to endless funds, you’ll never be perfect enough. It’s really sad.”“Please stop with the Mar-a-Lago face!” one user wrote.Please stop with the Mar-a-Lago face!It’s hard to see the self-abuse-we have to look at it!She was pretty-they were both younger too https://t.co/kiOdHHfNps— Allan Rose ⚽ (@SonoranSteve97) October 7, 2026 Another shared photographs of Susan from different periods, captioning them, “Susan Dell.

When the couple’s financial commitment to the Trump Accounts programme was announced previously, social media users also debated whether she had undergone plastic surgery or used weight-loss medication such as Ozempic.Susan has not publicly confirmed or commented on undergoing cosmetic procedures. While some users have compared photographs of her taken years apart, differences in appearance alone do not establish whether someone has had surgery or received aesthetic treatments.For now, the claims circulating online remain speculation, with no public confirmation from Susan Dell about the procedures users have suggested.
