President Donald Trump is escalating his defense of the massive data centers powering the artificial intelligence boom, warning communities that rejecting the projects could cost them jobs, tax revenue and a place in the global technology race.
"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," Trump wrote Monday in a Truth Social post. "If they want to be successful and rich, with far lower taxes and jobs all over the place, let Data Reign."
