President Trump has once again seized control of the national conversation, delivering a powerful declaration that America is not only winning the global AI race — it is dominating it. And according to Trump, every new AI plant being built on American soil will include its own energy-generating facility, ensuring the technology boom will never drive up electric prices for American families.
Trump’s announcement came as a direct rebuke to a new Wall Street Journal report claiming China is “dominating” the world in AI-related electricity production. The former president dismissed it outright, calling it yet another example of the media pushing fear instead of facts. “The Wall Street Journal has another ridiculous story today that China is dominating us, and the World, on the production of Electricity having to do with AI. They’re WRONG, as usual!” Trump said.
Then he revealed what the media conveniently ignored. According to Trump, every major AI facility being built in the United States is also constructing its own independent electric power plant. These approvals, he noted, are being processed carefully but extremely quickly — sometimes within weeks instead of the years-long bureaucratic delays that defined previous administrations. This means AI companies are producing their own energy, not draining America’s grid.
Even more remarkable, Trump said any excess electricity generated by these new AI-linked power facilities will be supplied directly into the national grid, which is being expanded and strengthened at the same time. This ensures two outcomes: AI growth does not harm American households, and the U.S. power grid receives a massive new influx of energy without additional cost to taxpayers. In Trump’s words, “AI has far more Electricity than they will ever need because they are building the facilities that produce it, themselves.”
This strategy completely eliminates the media’s favorite scare tactic that AI development will overwhelm the U.S. energy system. Instead, Trump is flipping the model on its head — forcing AI companies to become energy producers rather than energy consumers. Under this approach, AI infrastructure strengthens America’s power grid instead of weakening it. Electricity prices for American families stay stable. And U.S. companies become more competitive than their global rivals, especially China.
This is a direct contrast with Biden-era thinking, which has been defined by shortages, restrictions, foreign dependence, and warnings instead of solutions. Trump’s program empowers American development, accelerates innovation, and keeps economic advantages inside the United States.
Trump finished with a signature line that instantly lit up social media and sent shockwaves through the political world: “We are leading the World in AI, BY FAR, because of a gentleman named DONALD J. TRUMP!” It was a reminder that while the media complains, Trump produces results. While critics spread narratives of American decline, Trump outlines a blueprint for American dominance. And while Washington debates theoretical energy problems, Trump forces industry to solve them at the source.
This moment reveals the larger reality: Trump is not just positioning America to compete with China — he is rewriting the rules of modern industrial power. By binding AI expansion to private energy production, he has effectively launched a new technology-driven energy revolution inside the United States. AI companies expand. America’s grid grows stronger. Consumers are protected. Innovation accelerates. And every part of the system reinforces American strength.
Trump is transforming AI from something that allegedly strains America into something that powers America. And once again, he is proving that when it comes to technology, energy, and national leadership, no one matches the vision or effectiveness of Donald J. Trump.
