We are living in a time when the United States is being led by its 45th president, Donald Trump. Obama served two terms as president of the US and was popular for his progressive views on healthcare, climate change, foreign policy, and social issues. Some might say he left America better than he found it. However, many disagreed with him or sought to undo his legacy during this administration. With Donald Trump now leading the country after winning the election 2016 over Hillary Clinton (who has said she accepts defeat), what will happen? What’s next? Does anyone know what they’re doing anymore? We’ll find out soon enough.
