Donald Trump said these miners would much rather dig for coal than live in a 5th Avenue apartment and the entire internet begged to differ

He’s not just an idiot—he’s a caricature of elitist ignorance wrapped in a trucker hat.
What does that quote mean? It means Governor Trump thinks poor people are too stupid to want better lives. That they’re happiest choking on coal dust instead of building clean, safe careers…

Meanwhile, a black lung epidemic is tearing through Appalachia, killing men as young as their 30s. And the Trump admin just defunded NIOSH, the worker health agency that’s been tracking it. https://t.co/YuhSyrKFMZ pic.twitter.com/xN0EbY2rGU

My grandfather who died of black lung even after having half of his tongue cut out of his mouth would disagree. So would his father, & father’s father, & his father’s father’s father…ALL of whom died in the coal mines of Pennsylvania https://t.co/xa3jU60PQc

Trump’s clueless about coal miners. They don’t dream of black lung or backbreaking labor, they want safe, sustainable jobs. His coal obsession ignores their real struggles and the planet’s future. Pure nostalgia, zero solutions.

Trump doesn’t give a shit about coal miners. His admin is destroying mine safety and ending black lung protections so that more young miners can slowly suffocate from this horrible disease.

Except given what’s going on in Trump’s America right now, they’re not going to have a choice anyway.
Trump’s golden age: Microsoft has canceled plans to build 3 new data centers worth $1 billion in Ohio.
The company did not give a reason for stopping the projects, only saying the decision was made “after careful consideration”pic.twitter.com/ISzpW0u0D7

Coal mine it is, then.
Don Junior and Eric should become coal miners

And separate but very, very much related was this, an excerpt from Fear: Trump in the White House by Bob Woodward, about the president’s first term in office, shared by @DeepDishEnjoyer who said: ‘I want to die.’
