"When coal miners came to Washington in April, they posed behind President Trump at the White House, wearing their hard hats and thanking him for trying to reinvigorate their struggling industry," the New York Times reports. "But on Tuesday dozens of miners and their families will be in a more unusual position: protesting the Trump administration outside the Labor Department building, arguing it has failed to protect them from black lung disease, an incurable illness caused by inhaling coal and silica dust."
Yep when Trump says he loves coal miners he means the guys who own mines -- as always the little guy was good for conning out of a vote and after that the mass grave. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/13/c ...
