  "account": "A new poll published last week reveals that 75% of Americans would oppose the construction of a data center in their vicinity. This finding prompts questions about President Donald Trump's stance on the issue, as he remains an outspoken advocate for data centers. Trump believes that communities that fail to embrace data centers are making a grave mistake, claiming they generate numerous jobs and substantial revenue. This perspective diverges from the growing sentiment among voters who are increasingly wary of data centers due to concerns over artificial intelligence, environmental impact, energy prices, and local opposition movements. Despite his past alignment with such initiatives, Trump's current misalignment with public opinion highlights a disconnect between him and his constituents.",
  "summary": "As the president spends less time with his base at rallies, his populist instincts are failing him.",
