Trump correctly noted that taxes are going down in communities where the data center projects are being built. As WWL has reported in Richland Parish, about 7,500 construction workers and tradespeople have come to the area, and business in neighboring towns is booming. And in West Feliciana Parish, construction of the new Hut 8 data center has brought a 10% increase in sales tax revenues, allowing the parish to cut tax rates for local residents and businesses.

Anyone else noticed a shift in the attitude towards Trump here on the PT over the last six months or so?
I see a lot more DV’s in threads defending his BS

Wagner said she can’t be sure what the president was talking about but assumed he was thinking of bonuses of up to $50,000 paid to Richland Parish public school teachers as a result of the increased sales taxes collected there during the construction of Meta’s largest data center there, in the tiny community of Holly Ridge.
Well teachers got money and everyone got lower taxes. So the other side of the coin is also wrong saying no one got anything.

That would require the ability to have independent thought. Not going to happen.
To have a more nuanced conversation on these topics you guys would need to be able to read past a headline.

Trump lying is now being celebrated??? Really think about that
The alternative is voting Marxism/Eventual Communism. This kind of stuff doesn't bother me at all, when I consider the alternative.

See above, for a definitive description of Democrat voters and how they believe any shite coming from their politicians' mouths. This is what Democrats do!

Take it up with the data centers. The meta commercials for richland parish are touting bonus checks to teachers.

Who said Trump was lying? If you live in Louisiana, you see the meta commercials for Richland parish daily, touting bonus checks to teachers.
Why are y'all so hyper obsessed over Trump? It truly is a psychosis with some of you.

1) Your x link is amazing in how untruthful it is.
2) From your link, "President Trump told former New Orleans news anchor @rooprajfox2 during a live interview in Michigan yesterday that everyone in a Louisiana community got $10,000 checks from a neighboring data center." Somehow, we can't find the actual quote from Trump. I wonder why that is.
3) It's even in your wwl link, genius, "Wagner said she can’t be sure what the president was talking about but assumed he was thinking of bonuses of up to $50,000 paid to Richland Parish public school teachers as a result of the increased sales taxes collected there during the construction of Meta’s largest data center there, in the tiny community of Holly Ridge."
4) And this is the source.....
quote:
Two Holly Ridge residents who have spoken out against the massive Hyperion data center encroaching on their community, Tatiana Thompson and Diane Cobb, told WWL they have not received any direct payments from Meta or anyone else because of the project.
And so many in this thread are ate up with the TDS that they will believe anything.

Sources say full share payouts will be: $50,935 for 2026 Certified; $17,472 for 2026 Classified. The previous school year’s distribution of checks was $10,200 for 2025 Certified; $3,323 for 2025 Classified.
Previously the Northeast Federation of Teachers & School Employees president told KNOE that an increase of $40,000 was “not far-fetched” for some employees due to tax funds growing almost 2,000% due to the Meta facility’s impact.

More from the WWL link that no one read but only focused on the bullshite headline:

“The data centers, because of what I did … they make their own electricity,” he told Raj. “So, we don’t take from the electricity, we give it back. The excess capacity, they put it back into the grid.”
In Louisiana, Wagner said Meta and other data center companies, in order to get millions in tax incentives, have to agree to protect ratepayers from taking on the costs of new power projects. That’s been a point of contention with the Meta project as Entergy Louisiana seeks approval to build over 5 gigawatts of new power plants to supply the Hyperion site.
Entergy said its 20-year agreement with Meta could bring $4 billion in savings to other Louisiana electric customers, but it has kept most of the details of the deal secret and opponents are concerned about some of the $20 billion in costs for new infrastructure being passed on to ratepayers.

If he says it enough, it will become the truth even if no one got a check. If he says it enough, it becomes the thing.

Emma Wagner not being aware of something isn’t shocking.

He’s actually brutally honest. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t make a lot of mistakes.
I think this is spiritually true if not exactly true. He is the most honest President in terms of presentation. There is never any doubt where Trump stands on a political issue. Even when he flip flops on something, you can tell that it wasn’t focus grouped, he just changed his mind. It’s one of his most appealing traits. If Harris was president or for that matter DeSantis, Rubio, Vance, etc, you’d know that whatever they are saying is calculated and the result of endless hours of messaging discussions behind the scenes. Trump might listen to this discussions but when he comes out he is just Trump.
That said, on the specifics he lies all the time. He doesn’t just get details wrong, as well do, he makes up scenarios and contingencies and policies out of whole cloth. Some of it is just because he is clearly a vibes guy and not a wonk, some of it is because he does seem to believe that he can manifest his desired outcomes (and sort of has a track record of doing this), and sometimes it’s because he’s a bit of a bullshitter the way all salesmen are, and he wants to make his message more emotionally appealing.
I would take it in because he is the greatest single politician we are going to see in our lifetimes. Whomever wins in 2028, it will almost certainly be back to managerial speak, even if that managerial speak is trying desperately to feel Trumpy.

Inflation, tariffs, and affordability have always been the drivers of how people vote. You are simply not honest enough to realize what is true. Fiscal conservatism has always been the key to prosperity. The Iran conflict and resulting energy costs have cratered the popularity of this administration.
And you believe the Democrat party will lower prices? Do you think that impact of 20 million+ illegals in 4 years is isolated to just 2020 - 2024? Critically think. Do you think the damage that did, and the damage of Biden's anti-energy agenda for 4 years ended in 2025? It's still going on. This is the cycle. Democrats frick the country up beyond belief. Republicans come in and are left with amess to fix, but if it isnt' fixed in 2 years, you're going to vote for the Democrats again? What do you think they are going to do? Look at this al-sayed fool, who says that the economy is the reason people want to vote for him. Well, who has controlled all 3 branches of government in Michigan for 8 years now? Democrats. But it's the 1 Republican that was voted in that is the cause for Michigans economy, right?
There is no common sense with some of you.

I posted 2 links now of people that have gotten checks. I've even dissected the bullshite of the article that OP is referencing. I even posted where the article OP is referencing actually disagrees with the subject line from WWLTV. Why keep repeating things that are false?
