    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.

      German CDU did similar bullshit.

      They cut funding in renewables, costing those sectors >100k jobs to protect around 20k jobs.

      One might think it wasn’t about jobs at all, but that sweet sweet lobby money

      The same businessman who is such an utter business failure that he has resorted to declaring bankruptcy SIX times. Checks out.
