What was said

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.
