Donald Trump has done a great job easing the regulatory stranglehold that Obama's agencies had on the coal industry during Obama's War on Coal and the business climate is 100 percent better for coal than when Obama left office, but that 104,000 number is totally bogus. The number of coal miners in this country is around half that number, so there is no way that Trump has created anywhere near that number of new coal mining jobs.

I drove down the Big Sandy this morning on my way back home and the first three coal docks that I saw each had a "For Lease" sign out front and I did not see a single coal truck on U.S. 23. Obama did long term damage to the coal industry in eastern Kentucky and, IMO, it will never recover. The future of the coal industry lies mostly in the western states. There will always be some demand for the high quality coal of central Appalachia, but coal's best days are behind it and Obama made sure of that.
