Trump set the coal industry up for a loss also. The trade war he started will hurt the state’s struggling coal industry that provides half of all U.S. coal exports to China. A lot kids are going to go hungry in W.Va.. And through out Appalachia. Very sad.
Your post made me think of Harlan County, USA and of how Trump & Vance would be on the side of the people trying to break the coal miners' union in that documentary.
They overwhelmingly vote against their self interests by voting MAGA or GOP their entire lives. Now Trump ensures they will die young from black lung and they whine? FAFO.
...and they'll still vote for the GOP because nothing means more to these people than their feeble sense of white supremacy...even their health and well-being
