Washington sources have stated that after one year in office, President Donald Trump has not made America great again. Instead, he has presided over a country that is more deeply divided along partisan lines, proposed staggeringly racist reforms to the immigration system, supported a tax bill that will see economic inequality grow, and reminded the world just how dangerous nuclear weapons are.
Meanwhile it’s a good moment to step back and take stock of the impact Trump’s presidency has had in America, and how it is changing the international system. Further then there was the recent publication of Michael Wolff’s book Fire and Fury, and the sensation it caused.
Furthermore Immigration continues to be one of the nastiest and most
divisive issues which confirmed his racist attitudes about immigration and
race. Moreover Trump’s impact on global political and cultural norms may be
fleeting, or it may be the beginning of a substantively different role for
America in the world.
