The video reports on Donald Trump receiving the "Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal" award from the Washington Coal Club (0:19). The host, Jordan Klepper, satirically points out that Trump often receives "inaugural awards" created specifically for him (1:05).
The video then details Trump's actions that align with this award:
He signed an executive order for the Pentagon to purchase electricity from US coal-powered plants (3:56).
He stripped the EPA of its authority to regulate air pollution and greenhouse gases (4:39), which is projected to have a devastating impact on human health and the environment (5:12).
The video highlights Interior Secretary Doug Bergam's controversial statement that CO2 was never a pollutant (6:04).
The segment concludes with a comedic interlude featuring a character named "The Coal Man Colerson" (7:04), who claims to be the "real undisputed champion of coal," contrasting his love for "all coal" (8:36) with Trump's preference for "beautiful, clean coal" (8:33). The Coal Man expresses concern about the lack of common-sense regulations despite his love for coal (9:48).
