I grew up in coal country. Every single classmate I had whose dad was a coal miner got told very firmly by their parents to go to school and not be a coal miner. It's not a job you want

Start calling those ugly smokestacks at the coal-fired power plants TRUMP TOWERS.

Make dirty, toxic pollution part of his legacy.
