I believe Irans leadership told Trump he can go pound sand and that our military will end up at the bottom of their waters.

North Korea has been a nuclear weapons power for quite a while now.

Not too long after Trump was calling him rocket man.

Trump had nothing to do with NK and nuclear weapons….they got it built under clintons 2 terms and tested it underground during Bush’s term…..

All stocks are making huge gains as they recover from Trump’s “Liberation Day” abortion of a tariff program and start of Operation Epstein’s Fury. 
 

Insurance is up because the costs that they pay to repair or replace products has risen tremendously.  Utility cost increases also fall squarely on the Trump administration for disrupting global supply chains with the Operation in Iran. Property taxes are decreased for homeowners in Texas, not increased.  That part is just not true. 

I won’t get into the Trump partisan issues. I’ll leave those to the two sides. But, stocks rise and fall due to many more reasons than tariffs. Insurance costs are also affected by multiple things. If you wanted to find a common denominator, the common denominator would be labor costs. That would cover all forms of insurance—medical included.

Property taxes did not decrease in Texas. Voters approved a larger exemption amount for some. Big difference. If property taxes were actually decreased, people could possibly negotiate a lower rate for home/flood insurance due to a decreased value, and save more money—or, at least, minimize increases. That isn’t the case.

Facts matter.
