  "account": "During a Cabinet meeting in August 2025, President Donald Trump held up a picture of Meta's Hyperion Data Center superimposed over Manhattan to illustrate its size. Trump dismissed critics of data centers, comparing them to a \"Golden Goose.\" He urged communities not to oppose data centers, warning that doing so would lead to a \"backwards and poor\" future. Trump asserted that embracing data centers would result in prosperity, lower taxes, and abundant job opportunities. He concluded by stating that killing the Golden Goose would leave the community to blame.",
