Donald Trump warns of conspiracy against AI and data centers

Donald Trump has claimed on Truth Social that a “sick conspiracy” exists against artificial intelligence and the physical infrastructure required to support it, specifically data centers. He suggested such opposition benefits China and warned “conspiracy theorists, traitors, and leakers” to be careful.

These comments follow growing public opposition to the expansion of data center infrastructure in the United States. According to Gallup, seven out of ten Americans oppose the construction of data centers in their local areas. Reports indicate that over 140 protests have occurred across more than 40 states, reflecting a widespread backlash that transcends dominant electoral preferences.
