President Donald Trump says he fully endorses large data centers and warns towns that reject them may suffer economic consequences. In remarks reported by the Washington Times, he argues that refusing data-center development will cause communities to “fumble the ‘Golden Goose’” and remain poor.
ABC News reports that Trump frames data centers as a catalyst for local prosperity, saying they help make communities “successful and rich.” Both outlets describe the comments as part of Trump’s broader message encouraging support for the controversial facilities.
While the coverage aligns on Trump’s central position—strong endorsement of data centers and criticism of local opposition—the outlets differ mainly in emphasis. The Washington Times highlights the “Golden Goose” economic warning, while ABC News focuses on Trump’s promise of immediate community benefits.
The reporting does not detail specific project proposals, locations, or timelines in the excerpts provided.
