President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social in late August that "the only reason that communities throughout the U.S.A. should not want Data Centers is if they want to end up being backwards and poor." The same post contained a specific promise: "If they want to be successful and rich, with far lower taxes and jobs all over the place, let Data Reign."
“If we kill the Golden Goose, you will only have yourselves to blame,” Trump added.
