Trump, 80, Unravels in Bizarre Typo-Riddled 1:37 A.M. Rant

Kevin Lamarque / REUTERS President Donald Trump launched into a damage-control rant about data centers at 1:37 a.m.

The 80-year-old landed at the White House on Marine One at 11 p.m. on Tuesday after a rally in North Carolina.

Almost three hours later, his latest Truth Social meltdown went live.

This time the subject was data centers, the vast energy-hungry facilities that house the computer systems, servers, and network equipment used by artificial intelligence giants and other Big Tech companies.

In his error-strewn post, Trump said he has “been watching Data Centers very closely, and have come to a very strong conclusion.” He went on: “New and large, in some cases gigantic, Data enters are mandated by me to make their own electricity, and give or sell any excess back to the local community, or grid, and therefore there is electric price increase,” he said, misspelling ‘data centers,’ and leaving out ‘no’ in front of “price increase.” In a bid to curry favor before the midterm elections in two weeks, he floated a financial incentive to benefit residents near the deeply unpopular facilities.

He went on: “In fact, there could be a substantial decrease.

Other elements likewise! If companies want to make their Data Centers popular, pay the community, and/or individuals within the community, a ‘dividend.’ I have watched the process closely, and Data Centers that were highly unpopular in a certain area, have become extremely popular when a financial deal is struck.

MAKE DEALS, and get them built!!! GREAT FOR THE U.S.A.” Data centers have been a highly contentious issue during Trump 2.0, as large companies seek to build them across the country while the president bats away communities’ concerns.

A new Associated Press-NORC poll said about six in 10 Americans favor putting limits on new data center developments, a sentiment held by majorities in both major political parties.

The main concerns center on surging electricity demand and depleted water supplies, particularly as tech developers set their sights on small towns.

Although 87 percent of active U.S. data centers are in urban areas, Pew Research Center data shows most newly planned facilities are bound for rural communities.

The energy footprint is massive.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory estimates that data centers could devour up to 11.8 percent of all U.S. electricity by 2030.

In 2026 alone, local resistance has stalled at least 47 mega-projects, with more than 1,000 communities proposing moratoria, zoning caps, or strict environmental rules on incoming AI infrastructure, according to Investing Live.
