Trump says data center opponents face ‘poverty, crime and squalor’

President Trump has criticized opponents of AI infrastructure, asserting that communities rejecting data centers will face poverty, crime, and squalor. This marks the second time this week he has targeted critics of these facilities, which have seen a decline in popularity among Americans. Trump warned that states or locations opposing the development of data centers risk becoming backwards and poor, suggesting that approving such infrastructure is essential for states to achieve wealth and economic growth.
