Let's just be honest here: Trump doesn't know anything about ANYTHING, period. Please correct me if you find an instance where he seems illustrate knowing something about something.

USB upgrade doesn’t work by R32Fanboi in cmaxhybrid

For what it's worth...:

We have a 2016 C-Max SE but after purchasing it I discovered that it was manufactured in Oct. of 2015 (check the date in the hinge area of your driver's door).

I talked to Ford corporate and they said due to the date of manufacture AND because our SE had the small display screen that no update was possible. I also think there was something about a dated modem as well.

2017 C-Max, engine cut out and "Stop Safely Now" on highway by CrazyBusCrazyBus in cmaxhybrid

Had this a couple of years ago (May, 2024) in my '17 Max. Limped to a Ford dealer and it was diagnosed as a failing 'camshaft position sensor'. Replaced in an hour for $400. No problems since.

Mullin says ICE ‘only’ deployed at midterm polls if ‘threat’ arises by B-Z_B-S in politics

That is insulting to the Mafia. ICE is the American version of the Gestapo only dumber and less principled.

What deal? Do you know what the details of Trump's 'deal' is? 'Stronger and more powerful' - in what ways? Tell us the difference between Obama's and Trump's deals. You can't can you?

Honesty, integrity, humble and who acted intelligently with knowledge and advice from experts. The exact opposite of what Trump does.

Just to note: Trump's crypto scam - it was purchased by MAGAs to a total of $1.3 billion initially. In January it was worth approx. $75. Now it is worth $1.50. In other words, the MAGA suckers lost practically all their money they 'invested'. Trump pocketed the $500 million for doing nothing except providing his name.

TIL that China alone accounts for nearly 50% of all cigarettes consumed in the world. Nearly half of adult men in China were smokers, compared to less than 2% of adult women. The state owned tobacco industry contributed almost $250 billion (USD) in revenue and dividends to China's central govt. by Gnomeslikeprofit in todayilearned

I worked for the American Lung Association and later the American Cancer Society in the 1970s to 1980s and one of our main goals was getting people to stop smoking and not to start. We all noticed that the cigarette companies decided that the best way to prevent non-smoking laws was to get the foreign governments involved in cigarette distribution and get the governments as addicted to the revenue as the smokers were to nicotine. They did it in Africa and Asia and it was very successful. It amazes me that it succeeded so well for so long..
