"Trump's Plan Won't Reverse Coal's Decline"
FiveThirtyEight

This article leads with the dynamic of Trump vs. Obama, and the first paragraph ends with a Trump quote saying, "My administration is putting an end to the war on coal." The article then goes on to state all the ways in which Trump has incorrectly advertised his plan. The article not only outlines the inaccuracies, but it also provides information regarding how the plan would effect the climate and the economy. The article goes on to say that Trump's plan would, as it turns out, not stimulate the coal industry. The article blames the decline of the coal industry on the 1990's natural gas boom that spread across the country. The frame of this entire article is one in which Trump is wrong and in portraying his confidence, makes a slight mockery of him.
