Trump is not giving money to anyone. I support his policies but he often thinks out loud with all sorts of ideas that never come to fruition. Some of which are terrible. I think it's entirely possible, however, that AI will create such efficiency and wealth that few may have to work in the near term future. Not sure what the implications are from that but government policies that promote such efficiencies could result in rewarding citizens with such payments and services. Maybe providing incentives to be good citizens including reducing crime and promoting art and education. We are not forever limited to the capitalist vs socialist choices. The opposition to data centers is futile. There are legitimate concerns, but it is still coming for good or ill. China and others are not going to hold back. The US has no real choice. Trump knows that. It would not surprise me if the anti-data center campaign is even being funded by the Chinese.
You are vastly overrating the effect of AI especially in the near term. AI will change the job skills in demand and will assist those in many walks of life but there will always be work that humans must do that AI can't. The AI revolution will vastly increase the demand for people with electrical skills for example. The day that machines will be doing most of the work is a long way off. It won't happen in our lifetimes.
