Trump backs AI data center expansion in Truth Social post

Coverage spectrum

Covered by 3 outlets, all left-leaning.

3 articles in total. The spectrum counts each outlet once and leaves opinion out. How we measure bias

The Daily Beast, MeidasTouch and Raw Story report that Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he is “100% in favor” of what he calls Super Intelligence and that states embracing it will become rich. He also described AI as gold and called leaders who oppose it foolish. The posts come days after the 2026 midterm elections, where the outlets say voters cited concerns about data centers, including electricity costs and water supplies. Raw Story reports that Trump signed executive orders last year to fast-track permits for AI data centers and that his super PAC, MAGA Inc., has received $25 million from OpenAI president Greg Brockman and his wife.
