Sources consistently show Trump expressing strong enthusiasm for data centers, including calling them a 'tremendous thing' and saying he 'would absolutely want' one, and CNN and Reason describe him as loving them.

What was said
… Now, many of these things are not exactly tied together, but in data centers, people have found a symbolic enemy, a bogeyman. What does Donald Trump do? He comes out and says, "I love data centers." Excuse me, that's going to show up in a whole bunch of ads. You have people like Greg Abbott who has suddenly discovered data centers are not a popular thing, but no, Donald Trump is gonna come there and talk about data centers. …
The DSR Network · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. CNN reports that Trump calls data centers a 'tremendous thing' and has been 'bear-hugging' them, under a section headed 'Trump loves data centers.'[2][5]
Supports. Trump said that if he were a mayor or governor he 'would absolutely want' an AI plant or data center because the jobs and taxes are enormous, as reported by AP.[1][3]
Supports. Trump told reporters data centers 'are going to be very popular' and said in a Time interview 'I would like to have data centers,' showing sustained public endorsement.[4][6]
Context. No source quotes Trump using the exact phrase 'I love data centers'; the phrase appears only in the claimant's post, so the literal wording is unconfirmed even though the sentiment is well documented.
