thing has been very clear, president trump loved coal. we re going to stop the regulations that threaten the future and livelihood of our great coal miners. my administration is putting an end to the war on coal. 27,000 new mining jobs. who are the miners here? the miners finally, we re taking care of our miners. quick fact check on that 27,000 mining jobs claim. it s actually 21,000 mining jobs have been added so far under president trump. not 27,000. as he said. any job added is a good job but we re going to get into the future of these jobs, because one of the president s most senior economic aides is questioning whether the future of coal really is the future of america. and so are some big coal company executives. joining us now is steven moore our senior economics analyst and former senior economic adviser to the trump campaign. thank you for being here, especially on a holiday.
