That's the spirit. In part.

Particular lol.

My favorite part. I had to type it out it was so perfect.
"So we’re going to allow them to go on a very rapid basis to build their plant (Don means data center), build the electric generating plant, they can fuel it with anything they want and they may have coal as a backup. Good clean coal you know. If there were a problem with a pipe coming in, as an example you’re going with gas, oil and gas, and a pipe gets blown up or for some reason doesn’t work, there are some companies in the US that have coal sitting right by the plant. So that if there’s an emergency they can go to that short term basis and use our very clean coal. So that’s something else that a lot of people didn’t even know about. Nothing can destroy coal, not the weather, not a bomb, nothing, it might make it a little smaller, might make it a little different shape. But coal is very strong as a backup, it’s a great backup to have that facility and it wouldn’t cost much more money. And we have more coal than anybody, we also have more oil and gas than anybody. So we’re going to make it so that the plants (Don means data center) will have their own electric generating facilities attached right to their plant (Don means data center)."

Context in the bin, I love this guy. He loves coal. Good clean coal. And plants.

@ThinPicking I have my own take on the subject of Dieselgate and how Davos folks have conspired to make clean diesel appear to be a lie when it isn't. Remember VW is the maker of the people's car of Hitler, and it has always been on the crosshairs of those who want US forces to keep occupying defeated Germany 80 years after its defeat. Trump may say the US troops are there to protect Germany from Russia, but he knows the real reason and it is the same reason US troops are in Okinawa. An independent Germany and Japan is a a scary thought. No one makes ICE cars better than these two countries. Germany makes the best and the cleanest diesel, but no one believes that anymore, because everyone believes VW cheated. But it is only considered cheating when the rules on pollution, on what is and isn't clean, are not dictated by science but by an agenda. An agenda to deceive and to make money off that deception, as well as to weaken their perceived antagonists that are rich in fossil fuels. Those that enrich themselves by printing and dealing in Mickey mouse money have the gall to make black gold worthless and sell us electric cars that without subsidies would only be stillborn and be the stuff of scifi fantasy.

Well reasoned, well said.
I wouldn't burn anything to prop up dense compute facilities of questionable application personally. But it wouldn't be on sanitary grounds for lack of ingenuity, I'm not a "VIP" and I'm probably missing something anyway.
Donald's manner of speech is just a sound to behold for a sense of humour.
