Remember one of Trump's first moves was to subsidize coal mines in west Virginia? Instead of paying for miners to retrain for a new skill with that money he kept an industry everyone knew was dying running. And everyone says "he's a business man" no "business man" would keep an unprofitable industry in business.

Pretty sure Trump's companies aren't profitable either. So kinda makes sense.
