Wow I had no idea it only takes 1 month to plan and build a a brand new datacenter!

In all seriousness, no. There's no way in hell Amazon would rush something like this just because of the election results. The risk is too high compared to the (probably very little) reward.

Oops I didn't mean to imply they built it from scratch in the last month. I wasn't clear. I meant they may have rushed the final steps a few months. Not possible?
