Donald Trump on Saturday defended data centers that power artificial intelligence projects but have become a contentious campaign issue nationwide, as he took his midterm tour to Ohio to insist his party will keep its majorities in Congress despite steep political headwinds.
Trump took several minutes during his campaign rally in southwestern Ohio to promote his administration’s action on data centers, saying he was seeking to ensure they “benefit local communities” and praising Republican Sen. Jon Husted for an ill-fated attempt to push forward legislation on the issue.
I would think that Trump—unpopular enough as it is—visiting battleground states to discuss contentious issues would not be something that helps the electability of Republican candidates.
Trump doesn’t care.
This is about performing in front of terrible people that already adore this asshole.
