coalminers in south-westernPennsylvania
<https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/pennsylvania>, where a wave of
support for Donald Trump based upon his flamboyant promises of a
resurgence in coal helped propel the Republican to the US presidency.

Sullivan’s friends may disagree with this assessment but the coal
comeback promised by Trump in the 2016 election campaign has failed to
materialize, with his first term studded with bankruptcies and closures
of mines and coal-fired power plants.
