Stay informed on the latest Truth Social posts from Donald Trump (@realDonaldTrump) without the doomscrolling. Consider it a public service for your mental health. (Why?)
- The President declared an energy emergency.
- The Department of the Interior is responding to the energy emergency.
- The Department of the Interior approved a permit for Hurricane Creek Mining to mine coal in Tennessee.
- This project will strengthen American energy independence.
- The project is expected to produce up to 1.8 million tons of coal over the next decade.
The approval of a specific coal mining permit, even a substantial one over a decade, is unlikely to significantly impact the broad S&P 500 index. While it supports domestic energy production rhetoric, the scale of this single project is not a major market-moving event for the overall index.
The post is entirely focused on domestic energy policy and does not contain any threats, ultimatums, or references to international conflict or military actions.
