... yep, Trump could act as loud and angry as he wanted and that was seen by his supporters as a great quality of a leader. It would have been a huge negative for Obama who would have been label "the angry black man" which would have turned off many white voters.

You really need to get off the race card, it's not working anymore. The area I live in was critical for Trump's win here in PA. They overwhelmingly voted for Obama in '08 and '12. That got completely flipped this last election.

The U.S. added 400 coal mining jobs during May, according to Friday's payroll report.

The U.S. now has about 51,000 coal mining jobs, a far cry from the 89,400 positions counted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics at the end of 2011.

Stephen Moore, an economic adviser to Trump during the campaign and now a CNN contributor, has repeatedly claimed that more than 43,000 mining jobs have been added since Trump's November 8 election.

Government statistics say otherwise. Just 1,700 coal mining jobs have been created since the end of October, according to the latest BLS stats.

Still, Trump is cheering signs of improvement on the coal front. In his Paris speech, Trump hailed the opening of a brand-new mine, correctly noting that's a rare occurrence these days.

He was likely referring to the June 8 opening of the Acosta Coal Mine in western Pennsylvania. The facility will produce the type of coal used for steelmaking and it's expected to create 70 to 100 full-time jobs. WOW

400 coal mining jobs created in May - Jun. 2, 2017

Why? Real issues like jobs, outsourcing, wars of choice, etc.

You should focus on this instead responding with ad hominem nonsense.
So the carnival barker came to town. You bought his snake oil, and low and behold, so many others bought into the sociopath that he was elected. Really does seem to be the highlight of your life.

Job's - what Carrier? Outsourcing? You should view the documentary "trump, what's the deal". Wars of choice? The good news is that trump is so disinterested and senile that he isn't able to deal with the concept of war.

Ahh, but he won, you won, waldo wins the day.

"If you like your healthcare plan, you will be able to keep your healthcare plan.â€

“If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor.â€

“We’re going to lower your premiums by up to $2500 per family per year.â€

“No family making less than $250,000 a year will see their taxes increase.â€

“I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits, now or in the future.â€

“I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman."

"The Keystone pipeline is for oil that bypasses the United Statesâ€

“We have fired a whole bunch of people who are in charge of these [VA] facilitiesâ€

And I could go on-and-on but you get point is given.

All that stuff...

Even Donald Trump can keep up with counting to 0. As for the video, I saw it this morning and was going to post the exact thread. You beat me to it, OP. Great minds. . .Bill Maher cracks me up every time.

Excellent. And Hillary LOST because of the foolish thing that she said (as well as because of her ideology).

Hillary once also said, "We're going to take some things away from you." Let that sink in! What if Donald Trump had said that? He didn't. He said (basically) "I'm going to give some things back to you." Like, jobs, a decent family income, the possibility of home ownership. Trump's message? "We're going to restore the American Dream." Hillary's message? "Forget that dream about an America that doesn't exist anymore." (That's because she helped to destroy it, along with Obama)

Oh, please! I wonder what kind of crude talk you have participated in in your life when you were together with the "boys?" I'll bet you wouldn't have wanted it recorded. If your going to tell me you've never engaged in such "locker room braggadocio," I call you a liar.

In fact, in response, one of my female FB friends said, "I've heard worse ...from women!"

Trump NEVER said he had sexual relationships with women outside his marriage. And yet, when Bill Clinton was President, your (the Left's) attitude was, "So what?" "It's just sex!"

I think Trump's REAL message to us involves making an obscene digit gesture while he goes to play golf again for another 17 days. Actions really do speak louder than words. Or inaction, as the case may be.

I would expect the illegal immigration trend to continue and that is the only thing that can be attributed to Trump's policies. We will just have to wait and see, these things do not happen overnight.
The question was "How many jobs has Trump created in the coal industry?", not how much coal is being dug or anything about any immigrants legal or illegal.

I don't care what he's going to do, I want to know what he has done and what he is doing right now. He may not be in there long enough to initiate any new policies.
