The “beautiful, clean coal” industry that Donald Trump referenced in his State of the Union speech a year ago is apparently struggling. One of Trump’s campaign promises was to create more coal jobs. But since Trump became president CNN writes that more and more jobs are being eliminated. CNN’s Bill Weir reports:

Thanks largely to free-market forces, more coal-fired power plants have been deactivated in Trump’s first two years in office then in Obama’s entire first term. When asked about the President’s claim to be the savior of coal, veteran miner and industry consultant Art Sullivan bristles.

“He’s trying to get their votes,” he says, standing by the fenced-off entrance to a mine not far from Mitchell where he once served as Face Boss, a coal industry term for managers. “He’s lying to them.”
