May 24: ... there is a lot outside a president’s control when it comes to coal. These include: sinking prices for natural gas and renewable energy that have made coal far less competitive; other markets’, like China’s, demand for coal; and coal production moving from Appalachia to Wyoming, now the top U.S. coal producer, where it’s cheaper to mine.
In other words, Trump can do his worst — like scrap the Environmental Protection Agency — and it won’t bring about an economic revolution for these states. Murray [Bob Murray, CEO of Murray Energy] all but admits that when he says he’s skeptical of Trump’s abilities to reverse all these trends.

April 21: [Trump] promised to ask every government department to provide a list of wasteful projects for him to eliminate in his first 100 days. [Trump has not been exactly successful in this endeavor]

May 12: ... the president ... suggested that his administration could do away with briefings for the press and instead give out written statements.
@realDonaldTrump
...Maybe the best thing to do would be to cancel all future "press briefings" and hand out written responses for the sake of accuracy???
" ... with respect to the President's suggestion that as a very busy person, he doesn't have time to ensure that his spokespeople are accurately portraying his actions — it is difficult to know how to respond — except to say, being truthful with the American people is a core responsibility of the job," [House Intelligence Committee ranking member Adam] Schiff said. "If he did not want to willingly undertake even the minimal requirements of the Presidency, it would have been far better for him to have considered that before he chose to run for the highest office in the land."
