The Collapse of Donald Trump
President, who had run on a campaign to "Make America Great Again," would remember 2017 as one of the worst years of his life. He entered office with record low approval ratings, endured multiple scandals, and was under constant attack by both parties. In December, his presidency was seen as an utter failure when Alabama, one of the most Republican states in the entire country, elected Democrat as its U.S. Senator. Overseas, the United States' public standing had been reduced as the nation drifted closer to a war with, while Secretary of State began publicly pushing back the president's foreign agenda.

By January of 2018, Secretary Tillerson was fired by President Trump, and former United Nations Ambassador was confirmed by the  51–50. The president's approval ratings had plunged even further, with many calling for his removal from office.
