Cynical!
Twisted!
Not in the best interest of Americans!
Coal Miners led to believe they will see a new coal industry boom! Being led by the noes to poverty when the industry dies!
Scott Pruitt looks into the TV camera and plays politics with COAL miners, spins a story about adding jobs in COAL and MINING industry. He claims his effort has added 50,000 jobs in COAL and includes MINING in general to try to trick the media into one of those fake (erroneous) news stories. Sadly the White House is into tricks to UNDERMINE the media.
""Pruitt’s claim [Spinning a lie!] that ‘almost 50,000 jobs’ have been gained in coal"
By Glenn Kessler June 6 at 3:00 AM
"On “Meet the Press,” Pruitt flatly stated that almost 50,000 jobs have been added in the coal sector. Many readers asked about this claim, noting that there are only about 50,000 jobs in coal. Here’s the Bureau of Labor Statistics data on coal jobs. As you can see, it has been in a tight range for months, with a slight gain. In the last four months of the Obama administration, September to January, there was a gain of 1,400 jobs. In the first four months of the Trump administration, there has been a gain of 1,000 jobs."
In TOTAL there might be 50,000 jobs in the coal mine especially, and the number added is likely about 1,300!
Well done Mr. Pruitt. You just betrayed your base by fooling them, luring them into a hopeless future. They could be retrained, the sooner the better for them. But you are "spinning" a story to delay their essential retraining until a time where it wll do them no good. Old and gas and alternative energy beats the hell out of coal.
Pruitt is so far off in the COAL mining jobs number, 1) he reveals either his lack of knowledge, or 2) he has a 100% total lack of integrity because he is boldly living and trying to trick America and the media. It is a very sad day in America.
We have a GOVERNMENT obviously trying to mislead and spin its way through the days and months this of chaos, mistakes, and ultimate FAILURE.
I apologize to my friends and other True Believers. I try to see why the WH does this kind of thing in a fair way, to understand the benefit to America. But THIS level of obvious cynical deceit is such an ugly maneuver I cannot accept it or rationalize it in any way.
Can we trust anyone in the White House? Are they trained to lie, or ordered to lie? Or is lying a job requirement in the Tweety White House?
