Regarding comments on the reports on the incompetence and irrationality behaviour of Trump administration, which are not surprising by now.
Removing Trump by impeachment or due to evidence of incompetence would take time, not instantaneously. While this was being argued, what would Trump do? We have already seen him inciting violence against his political opponents. We see a large percentage of the population still supports him.
And many of us are downright scared of Trump. Several people recently have wondered why nobody has tried to assassinate him. These are peaceful people who would never do such a thing themselves. As I pointed out to them, the kind of people who do assassinations usually assassinate progressives. What I think most like is that if Trump does not win re-election, he will encourage violence against the winner, and that one or more of his supporters would try to assassinate the winner. He has already encouraged violence against his political opponents.

Some two million Ford F-150 pickup trucks are being recalled by the company after more than 20 reports of smoke or fire coming from the seat belts.
The recall, which was announced Thursday, applies to certain Regular Cab and SuperCrew Cab vehicles from model years 2015-18.
The problem, according to the company, is with a part of the driver and front passenger seat belts called a pretensioner. The pretensioner is a component attached to the base of a seatbelt clip. During a crash, it automatically forces the clip down, which is meant to protect the occupant by pulling them into the seat. Sometimes, this piece involves explosives.
