The heyday of coal mining is over. And in its heyday, conditions were such that many miners died in the mines and from black lung, due to poor regulation and lousy safety laws. That industry will not return in any way that will employ all the miners it used to. It simply won't.

Trump's not going to get jobs back for coal miners. He's not going to safeguard the future healthcare for coal miners. He doesn't give a good goddamn about coal mines or coal miners.

The party that has tried to help is the Democratic Party. If you voted against those who have been trying to help, you made a mistake, people in coal mining areas. I'm sorry you did that. I don't understand why you did that.

We did a terrible job of explaining that in coal country. We ignored those people because we don't like the idea of burning coal. So, we let them be influenced by the Republicans, despite that party's lack of concern for them.
