Coal Magnate Tells Trump to Lower His Expectations.

[elleng]

'Although optimistic about the future of the coal industry under the Trump administration, Robert Murray, CEO of Murray Energy Corp., the largest underground coal mining company in the U.S., does not expect the president-elect to bring back coal mining jobs or spur new coal-fired power plant construction.

“I’ve asked President-elect Trump to temper his comments about bringing coal miners back and bringing coal back. It will not happen,” Murray told POWER during an exclusive interview. “The destruction that has happened is permanent.”'>>>

1. The lamp lighters' union could not be reached for comment

after they issued a statement questioning the safety history of that dang, new-fangled electricity.

7. Whalers demand that Trump issue executive order allowing whaling again.

In order for there to be an adequate supply of whale oil to fill the lamps.

3. Too bad he couldn't bring himself to tell this truth prior to the election.

Contemptible SOB was too thrilled with the prospect of an anti-regulation, anti-environment, pro-corporate fat cat Trump regime to level with the rank and file workers in his industry or the people of the regions it has exploited for generations. "Temper his comments" my Appalachian ass. Trump lied, and to whatever extent Murray supported him in any way, he helped to propagate the lie and is fully culpable. No room to wiggle out of it now with your weasel words, Murray.

4. This SOB donated $100,000 to Trump's PAC the day before laying off 4,400 workers.

5. This is step 1 in shifting the blame for Trump's failures onto

Obama, Clinton, and Democrats in general. I.e., "We tried hard, and Trump is a great president, but 'the destruction that has happened' (because of Democrats) is permanent."

6. The war on the war on coal

Murray is also the guy who required his coal workers stand behind Romney at a campaign stop in Ohio to give the impression that they showed up voluntarily in support of Romney.
