It's called politics.

Unfortunately, Hillary turned to pandering to coal miners after having told them the truth; That their product is a heavy polluting, non-renewable commodity in a permanent and inevitable state of decline. This is something Trump has yet the integrity or the honesty to do. He'd rather keep the gullible hillbillies strung along and voting for Republicans as long as he can, while trying to kill the social safety net they've become addicted to because that's what a manipulative scumbag does.

Correct...except it's not pandering. Hillary promoted a $30 billion plan to help coal communities transition to a clean energy economy. I think the offer was sincere, and even productive. But she never backed off of her climate agenda which included active focus on the reduction of coal use in this country.
