Trump term 1 was just straight up lying. It was natgas killing coal in his first term, and natgas was part of his constituency so he did nothing. Trump term 2 is more like populism. This term, it's solar that's killing coal. And solar is woke, so Trump is actually doing something for coal this term. It's the diffuse vote effect. Trump might save a couple thousand coal jobs, which is a really big deal for those couple thousand people and swings their vote. Meanwhile, it increases the cost of energy for 350 million Americans but that's a very marginal effect. And it increases climate change for 8.2 billion people, but those 7.9 billion of those don't vote in American elections.
