[Trump: Opposing data centers will only make American communities 'backward and poor'] Trump posted on Truth Social, stating that communities across the United States have no reason to oppose the construction of data centers unless they wish to become 'backward and poor.' He noted that data centers can bring lower taxes and a large number of job opportunities, adding that many other regions are already eager to introduce data centers. Trump warned that if America 'kills the goose that lays the golden eggs,' the consequences will be borne by local communities themselves. He also claimed that China would not want to see an anti-data center movement emerge in the United States.
