It could also be that they thought the Iranian Delcy Rodriguez would come from there so they spared it for some time.

Someone on Twitter pointed out Trump started out the year talking about affordability, then with the Iraq war, made one of the few policy decisions Trump could that would simultaneously raise gas prices and mortgage rates.

Good question. Not sure if anyone knows at this point.

All news TV is about an 80 year old stuck in a quagmire.
