One Year Since Trump's Election

It's been an eventful year.

On Nov. 8, 2016, billionaire Donald Trump shocked the world by overcoming the polls - and some would say the odds - to win the U.S. presidential election. Trump did this despite obtaining millions of votes less than his rival, Hillary Clinton.
