    Coal was put out of business by leftist environmentalist politicians that coal country folks voted for their whole existence till Trump. There's plenty of value left in industrial coal as America's most plentiful and reliable energy source and it has a tremendous value as an American export. Clean coal technology exist. When properly installed it's as clean an energy as Oil and even more available.



    What's your definition of "healthy?" A 2% GDP? Millions on food stamps? Coal country out of business, impoverished and addicted to pain killers?



    Trump has created a 3+% average GDP, the lowest unemployment in decades and the lowest unemployment for minority races in history. Trump has shamed the cheap NATO bastards into ponying up their fair share of NATO dues. Trump has been tougher on Russia, Syria and Iran than any President in our history. Trump seriously is striving to secure our southern border and shame our swamp rat Congress into legislating sane immigration policy. Trump has put American's tax dollars back into their pockets. Trump's policies have brought back and continue to bring back jobs to America. Trump has trashed Obama's overreaching idiotic regulations written by unelected bureaucrats and thereby stimulated a powerful roaring economy. If all of that is breaking your heart friend, your heart is in the wrong place.

    You simply can't post anything without posting childish insults and making unfounded accusations and omitting the sins of your beloved socialist, progressive Democrat party, can you Nordi?

    If you're trying to insult me into defending the Republican party, good luck with that. I resent the Republicans almost as much as I resent the Democrats. The facts are Nordi the largest federal expenditures and debt creators are the Military Industrial Complex and Unconstitutional Socialist vote purchasing entitlement programs. The Republicans and most Democrats are responsible for the former and the Democrats and most Republicans are responsible for the latter. We, Nordi are governed by a R&D DUOPOLY dictatorship. All of this trash-mouthed hatred between the duopoly dupes on both sides is simply artificial bullshit and juvenile garbage. Washington is a first class shit hole, a swamp a cesspool. It's a disorganized crime family, corrupt to the core. It's ideologically authoritarian and fundamentally incompetent and savage. I hate the fucking place and most everybody in it. It's trashed our Constitution, burdened us with ungodly debt and turned us against each other.

    No new coal plants are being built. Trump had the nerve to talk about, clean, clean coal. It does not exist. Trump relaxed the environmental rules, yet no takers. https://thehill.com/policy/energy-en...e-relaxed-rule

I have little to no faith he'll clean the swamp rats out of the DOJ and FBI and indict and prosecute the bastards.
    The swamp belongs to Trump.

    So you think saying the truth is insulting you? How weird. However you post on the Repub side over and over, one of the right wing regulars. There is no doubt about that.

    Those unemployment figures have nothing to do with Trump, they're just the continuation of trends that were established before the election. We haven't seen the figures for the last quarter yet and Trump's government shutdown is likely damaging the economy. It's also threatening both national and border security. Trump put tax dollars back in the hands of the already rich. Most others are going to get no benefit and may even see their taxes go up. Trump hasn't been the least bit "rough" on Russia, Syria or Iran. Trump is the swamp, which is deeper and more putrid than ever. The economy isn't doing any better than it was under Obama.
