Rick Perry is visiting a West Virginia coal plant today, site of all those jobs Trump is going to bring back. According to news reports, it's "a general tour for Perry to familiarize himself with a modern coal facility." At the coal plant, Perry just said, "Here’s a little economics lesson: supply and demand. You put the supply out there and the demand will follow."
Reminder: this person is in charge of our nuclear arsenal.
Meanwhile Perry has been tweeting pictures of himself looking real tough:

The rest of Twitter is doing this:

it's actually kind of amazing that Rick Perry was governor for 15 years and somehow didn't trade Texas for some magic beans
