It is far easier to fool people, than it is to convince them they been fooled.

Telling coal miners that coal is coming back delayed those folks from learning a new trade. Lying just hurts people.

[ik]

Clean coal, see-through steel and snake oil.

I can't believe Trump lied to the coal miners.... Oh wait, yes I can.

2:27 "I'm an expert. He's NOT!" <<<< That will be the epitaph to Trump's presidency.

[suzvalentino]

Those poor people that voted for him. Campaign promises just to get elected.

I'm from Pennsylvania, and I can tell you for decades the coal industry has been dying.. In fact many people don't want to work in the coal mining industry anymore... it's unhealthy and it kills you

"Make America Great Again" A word that many people can connect to that brings solutions happier times and hope to their problems. Unfortunately a president, especially TRUMP can't change a thing. Kennedy once said " ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country " Making things Great again starts with you, You can also make things great again by voting on 2020 for a better candidate, not an ilusionist.

It doesn't need to be revived. The miners need to be retrained in other energy sectors. Enough with the idiocy!

Trump doesnt know what the word promise means😂

[GO-GO_SO-SO]

More green and renewable resources are the future. Liberals and intelligent individuals already knew this.

[carlton]

[maxbrown]

OK Obama try to tell you in a nice way but you All close your eyes & for someone that will tell you lie's ok

[PNE]

[maxcovfefe]

Wait... weren't we gonna have CLEAN COAL? Didn't Trump say we'd wash the coal and make it clean, beautiful coal?

[stellabar]

Excellent insight to what is happening with coal production.

[OMGitsTerasu]

It's good that coal mines are closing.
It's bad that people are losing their jobs.
