19 months into the Trump administration, news of Kentucky's distressed coal counties: "No significant increase in coal jobs;" income is down; some of America's most desperately poor people are falling farther behind those in wealthy areas. https://t.co/l33aLQYrLZ

We should have expected something different from the chief-climate-denier? Next he’ll be proclaiming that there’s no need to worry about the supply of oil and that we should burn as much as we’d like, and as often as we can. (It was Obama’s lousy policies that turned America into the world’s largest oil producer.)
Speaking of lousy policies, Sec. of State Mike Pompeo’s foreign policy, like Pompeo himself, are losers.
Let’s take his policy on Iran for example. Recently Pompeo handed Iran a to-do list which included:
>stop building ballistic missiles,
>withdraw its forces from Syria,
>disarm the Shiite militias in Iraq,
>end support for Hezbollah.
>end support for the Houthi rebels in Yemen,
>never acquire a nuclear bomb,
>stop all uranium enrichment,
>allow unfettered access to all nuclear site including military sites,
or else.
In other words Iran must capitulate completely to Israel (who handed Pompeo this list of idiotic demands) and Saudi Arabia.
After reading this nonsense Trump should have told Pompeo that Iran would probably comply with Israel’s silly demands when pigs fly.
But, then, Trump doesn’t know how to read or even how to put his thoughts into a coherent sentence.
People gave him money after that spiel?
