The Best Moments of 2017
There were some great moments in 2017. For example, The Tower Block in West London was the most tragic news image of the year. The cholera outbreak in Yemen became the largest in modern history. The national anthem became more hyped than the games. And the tax overhaul plan was widely criticized by Democrats. But, the most powerful moment of the year might be the Women’s March in January. And, there was a political battle in the United States over the tax reform bill. Despite all this, the year was still worth remembering.
The Tower Block in West London provided the most searing and tragic news image of 2017

The tax overhaul plan was criticized by Democrats
The Republicans’ tax overhaul bill is making its way through Congress. The Senate version is a lump of coal for the middle class and gives Democrats ammunition in their messaging war. The passage of the tax bill shows that Trump has betrayed his working-class base, which he promised to improve. However, the plan still provides a significant boost for the economy. Even Democrats have been critical of the plan, calling it an unfair attack on middle class workers.
Xi Jinping won the French presidency
Chinese President Xi Jinping has congratulated President Emmanuel Macron on his reelection. Macron, who won the French presidency last year, will now have to try to unite a deeply divided nation. He won by defeating far-right leader Marine Le Pen. Xi said he hoped to maintain good diplomatic relations with Macron. Despite Macron’s defeat, China’s relationship with France has steadily grown in recent years.
The inauguration of Donald Trump as US president
Following Trump’s inauguration speech, the new President took the oath of office with two Bibles in his hands. The Bibles were given to him by his mother when he was nine years old. Both Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama used Bibles during their inauguration ceremonies. Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner served as his unpaid senior adviser. Trump’s speech matched the tone of his presidential campaign, casting himself as a populist insurgency. However, Trump’s choice of cabinet members and top staff has largely favored Wall Street and Washington elites, including an ExxonMobil CEO, a retired General, and a number of sitting GOP legislators.
The election of Emmanuel Macron as France’s president
Emmanuel Macron has never held a public office before, and was virtually unknown until three years ago. As president, he will be tasked with turning around a country in crisis – a country that is suffering from a crippling terrorism threat and a stagnant economy. And, unlike his predecessor, Le Pen, who had a five-year term, Macron is a relatively new face. In addition to his youthful look, he also has furrowed brows and crow’s feet. Despite his age, however, Macron has demonstrated his ability to exercise power in turbulent times.
