History, as it happened. A reminder of what happened in Donald Trump's first year in office. It’s the reality that millions of Americans struggled to accept. Following a tumultuous campaign filled with chants, sledges and accusations, Donald Trump came out on top and officially became the 45th President of the United states. His campaign was a strong indicator for what was to follow with Trump in the White House as Donald Trump wasted no time in taking action on his many promises. In this documentary, we relive the first year of the Trump administration, through the 7NEWS team's coverage of all key moments, with additional new commentary from 7 News anchor Mike Amor, who was the US Bureau Chief reporter during the first year of 45's reign.

I love this factual content... Bring the rest of the series. I am from America, and the American news media needs to air things like this every day

This is a well-done documentary! The Lord Almighty help you neighbors, from a Canadian.

[karengeiger]

Yes this needs to be broadcasted all across American to remind people the mess we had for 4 years. We absolutely cannot go back to this type of government. Keep America Great.

The guy at the end who said he's going to have more money in his paycheck must have been surprised and disappointed when he didn't. They didn't realize that the tax breaks were only for multimillionaires. And what's worse is that not only did it hurt the average person then, because of that change trump made, next year, average people will pay even more taxes.

[conradcappwell]

Thank you for showing what a freaking fiasco Trump's first year was. Unfortunately, for us Americans, the worst was yet to come !
