For Trump, March has brought war, a fired Cabinet secretary, and more

The opening days of March have delivered some major news and political developments. “In like a lion, out like a lamb” refers to stormy weather at the beginning of March. For President Trump, the first week of March was like a lion politically. Over the past few days, he launched a war against Iran which led to a spike in oil prices, he fired controversial Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and he received a Labor Department report that saw the economy lose tens of thousands of jobs in February. The flurry of activity came as the president tries to convince voters to keep Republicans in the majority in Congress.
