Trump brags about new coal mine... that only created 70 jobs

Today Trump tweeted a report from Fox News about the opening of a new coal mine in Pennsylvania:



Well, apparently Trump didn't read the report, because the mine was nowhere near enough to employ all unemployed coal miners.

Here's what the report says:

...for the 70 positions available in the mine, 400 people applied.

Which means 330 coal miners did not get a job. And they probably won't get one because in the US coal is no longer being used to produce electricity. It's cheaper to use natural gas.
