It’s Donald Trump Versus MAGA on Data Centers

Molly McCann Sanders, a conservative Texas activist, criticizes Donald Trump’s support for data centers, arguing they could pollute and that the GOP’s push to attract tech-savvy voters is misguided. A New York Times poll shows over 60% of Americans, 47% of Republicans, oppose data-center construction, while Trump’s Truth Social posts defending them have sparked backlash. Trump’s defense of AI and data centers is framed as essential to prevent the U.S. from falling behind China.
