President Trump has claimed to save the coal industry, despite 51 coal plants shutting down since he took office. Coal miners are slamming Trump saying 'coal is not back,’ adding ‘nobody saved the coal industry.’

Fact Check: The Trump Administration Is Failing The Coal Industry | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
I am utterly terrified of this man and what I know he is capable of doing.

‘murika’s got a ton of them
@hodaka1000 Frank is the sort of guy that fartsinacup and then smells it
@dan mac Frank is about as funny as a stopped up commode
@Longhaired Granpa actually it’s a conch shell not a cup
No need to be afraid of coward bone spurs!
I’m not afraid of this weak,insecure,pathetic excuse for a human being! #Vote 20/20 #Orange is the New Black#Prison
FUCKTRUMP2020
Just like the WALL, all talks and Mexico is not paying for it.

U folks tired of winning yet? The man dosn’t own one redeeming quality.
Dave Schultz you’re coming off as dumb. He’s winning for himself.
Dave Schultz Trying to protect himself!
@Dave Schultz Why would you call that winning? What do you think you’ve won with those appointments?
I have friends in the coal industry. They said they can’t compete with natural gas. The jobs AIN’T coming back.
dan mac in cape breton as well, canadian coal,american owned,ships to china
@coptic777 – No such thing, when you have natural gas.
@Steve Logue
” canadian coal, american owned, ships”
.
now theres irony for ya
@Steve Logue
i forgot to ask, fared well through dorian?
seeing some of the footage from Halifax, trees down power outages, etc
@Ro G It’s called ‘Corruption ‘. -look it up.
Coal miners fell for the con. Hopefully they learned a lesson.
I bet many if not most of them still support this clown.
Everyone knew he couldn’t save the coal industry, well everyone except his cult who will probably fill the comments with cries of “fake news”. He’s leading them to bankruptcy, the only thing he’s actually good at besides spewing continuous lies and misinformation to keep his base paranoid, angry, confused and easily manipulated.
Trying to keep up with Trump’s lies is virtually impossible. It’s like trying to count rain drops during a monsoon downpour.
It is even impossible to keep track of all scandals. One is discussed and at least 2 new scandals appear halfweg the discussion.
TRUMP a moron get hlm out
David J : If you’re interested, The Washington Post has been keeping a running tally, and Politico does a period piece on his current totals. You can Google “running count of Trump’s lies” to find them both (plus a few others).
Clean coal. So clean you can eat off of it. Clean coal. Black Lung.
Donald has actually cut funding for the miner’s medical cost who suffer from black lung. Please die in quiet.
That’s a lie
@snoop alert
trolling some more are ya?
heres another link you wont bother opening
instead you’ll amaze the world with your stupidity
Coal Miners’ Fund Set For Deep Cuts As Black Lung Epidemic …

2018-06-04 · Coal Miners’ Fund Set For Deep Cuts As Black Lung Epidemic Grows A federal trust fund for coal miners who have the deadly disease black lung could run up a $15 billion deficit if a planned funding …
Other reality is raising suicide rate on farmers in the USA.
Don’t feel bad for them. They voted for this stupidity.
Don’t worry coal miners the Chinese tariffs will pay for your bills.
When those retired coal miners rode 10 hours in a bus to get to DC, Moscow Mitch spent a whole 60 seconds with them.
Many of them will be dead soon and won’t be able to vote so why waste his time ? In fact, he’s trying to speed that up by taking away their health care. And, bonus !, if he succeeds, Republicans won’t have to go on record turning down their pension bailout. They won’t be around to file claims.
@Rudy Penza And these dudes mostly have black lung disease.
Fun fact if you calculate the left and right leaning geezers who die each day and the left and right leaning teens who turn 18 each day, the Dems are picking up a potential 2000 new votes each day. Normally young folk don’t vote much, but Gen Z is the most politically active generation in 50 years when the voting age was 21. Exciting times.
@ruth depew
Power to the people!
Congratulations, coal miners. You played yourselves.
We’re surprise that the bankrupt king failed?
The only ones surprised by this is the coal industry’s djt voters! Maybe they’ll vote smarter this time around. SMH😒
Trump failed America the first 2 months in office should have been removed and imprisoned.
I’d say the closure stats are are a success story.
At least as far as the planet is concerned.
Nobody knew that saving the coal industry could be so complicated…
I kinda feel bad for those Americans that really believe trump , I grew up watching trump on the Howard Stern show and he was always a joke
