**Trump’s Coal Revival Efforts Hit a Snag: The Impact of His Trade War**
In a shocking twist that has left coal miners scratching their helmets, former President Donald Trump’s ambitious plan to revive the coal industry has hit a snag—thanks to his own trade war. Yes, folks, it turns out that tariffs on foreign coal are about as effective as a screen door on a submarine.
“Look, I thought I could just slap a tariff on everything and watch the coal flow like it’s 1985 again,” Trump reportedly said while trying to convince a group of bewildered miners that coal is the new avocado toast. “But now, I’m just stuck with a bunch of coal that nobody wants to buy. It’s like trying to sell ice to Eskimos, but the Eskimos are also mad at you for raising the price!”
Meanwhile, local coal enthusiast and self-proclaimed “Coal King” Billy Bob McCoalface expressed his frustration: “I was ready to invest in a coal-powered smartphone! But now, I can’t even afford a coal-powered toaster. Thanks, trade war!”
In a bizarre twist, Trump’s trade advisor, who goes by the name of “Tariff Tim,” suggested that the solution might be to start a new trend: “Coal Couture.” “Imagine it! Coal necklaces, coal hats, coal everything! We’ll make coal the new black!” he exclaimed, while wearing a coal-themed beret that he insisted was “totally in.”
As the coal revival efforts continue to sputter like a faulty coal furnace, one thing is clear: if you’re looking for a bright future in coal, you might want to invest in a good pair of sunglasses—because it’s looking pretty dim.
