Trump Says Communities Opposed to Data Centers Want to Be 'Backwards and Poor'
Trump says communities that reject AI data centers risk jobs and tax revenue as public opposition and midterm backlash spread across the country.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump lashed out at communities protesting data centers, suggesting residents who reject the facilities must prefer to be "backwards and poor," while urging supporters to "let Data Reign."
- Polling shows 7 in 10 Americans oppose data centers in their communities, citing concerns about rising utility costs and environmental impacts; local officials now face potential recall elections for their support.
- The GOP has fractured over the issue; Michigan Senate nominee Mike Rogers announced earlier this month he would back a moratorium, while Sen. Jon Husted faces electoral pressure despite his previous support.
- Distancing themselves from Trump's stance, many Republicans and Democrats are now backing moratoriums, actively leveraging opponents' data center support to gain advantage in upcoming midterm elections.
- Researchers with The Brookings Institution warned last week that rising negativity poses challenges for business investments; Trump claimed he mandated facilities build their own power, though no such federal mandate exists.
