Trump’s Claim:
“If we kill the Golden Goose, you will only have yourselves to blame.”
Reality:
Communities asking questions about costs, subsidies, and impacts aren’t killing opportunity — they’re demanding transparency and fairness.
Data centers can bring jobs and investment. But sweetheart deals, corporate influence, and hidden costs deserve sunlight — not slogans.
If this is such a good deal for your community, why shouldn’t you be allowed to see the deal?
