Fact-checking Trump's claim in Pa. that he's 'putting our great coal miners back to work'

[634-5789]

NYET, Komrade: The revival Trump promised never materialized. There are 6,400 fewer miners today than when he took office. Donald Trump returned to Pennsylvania on Tuesday for the first time since his COVID-19 hospitalization and told supporters at a rally in Johnstown that he’d revived the nation’s struggling coal mining industry.
"We’re putting our great coal miners back to work," Trump said. We wondered whether the president fulfilled a campaign promise he made four years ago to bring back coal. He may have stopped the bleeding, but he hasn’t revived the industry.
