History
Donald Trump became the 45th president on January 20, 2017, promising an America First approach to government and foreign policy. The next day, large Women's March demonstrations filled Washington and cities worldwide. Early executive orders on immigration and travel produced airport protests and rapid court challenges, while the administration's decision to seek withdrawal from the Paris climate accord widened political divisions at home and abroad.
August brought three very different events in quick succession. White nationalists gathered in Charlottesville, Virginia, where a man drove into counter-protesters and killed Heather Heyer. Nine days later, a total solar eclipse crossed the contiguous United States from Oregon to South Carolina. Four days after that, Hurricane Harvey reached Texas as a Category 4 storm and stalled, producing catastrophic flooding around Houston. Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria followed, with Maria devastating Puerto Rico and exposing long-term weaknesses in infrastructure and disaster response.
On October 1, a gunman firing from the Mandalay Bay resort attacked a Las Vegas music festival, killing 58 people that night; two survivors later died of related complications. The #MeToo movement then spread rapidly as people disclosed sexual harassment and assault across entertainment, politics and workplaces. Congress ended the year by passing a large tax law, while investigations continued into Russian interference in the 2016 election and contacts involving the Trump campaign.
Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath of office at the US Capitol. President Trump used his inaugural address to present an America First agenda and describe political power as returning from Washington institutions to citizens.
Hundreds of thousands marched in Washington, with related demonstrations across the United States and abroad. Participants supported women's rights and other causes while registering opposition to the new administration one day after the inauguration.
Read the full storyPresident Trump signed an executive order suspending entry by nationals of seven countries and pausing refugee admissions. Travelers were detained or turned away, lawyers gathered at airports, and federal judges issued emergency orders limiting parts of the policy.
US destroyers launched 59 Tomahawk missiles at Shayrat Air Base after a chemical attack on Khan Shaykhun. The strike marked the first direct US military action against Syrian government forces during the civil war.
President Trump said the United States would leave the Paris climate accord, arguing that it disadvantaged the country. Because of the agreement's rules, the first withdrawal could not take effect until November 4, 2020.
After clashes around the Unite the Right rally, a white supremacist drove into counter-protesters, killing Heather Heyer and injuring dozens. Two Virginia State Police officers also died when their helicopter crashed while monitoring the event.
Read the full storyThe Moon's shadow traveled from Oregon to South Carolina, producing a narrow path of totality and a partial eclipse across the rest of the country. It was the first coast-to-coast total solar eclipse across the contiguous United States since 1918.
Read the full storyHarvey struck near Rockport as a Category 4 hurricane, then stalled and produced extraordinary rain across southeast Texas. Flooding inundated the Houston region, displaced tens of thousands and caused an estimated $125 billion in damage.
Read the full storyMaria crossed Puerto Rico as a high-end Category 4 hurricane, destroying the electric grid and disrupting water, communications and health care. A later government-commissioned study estimated 2,975 excess deaths in the months after the storm.
A gunman fired from the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay into the Route 91 Harvest festival. Fifty-eight people were killed that night, hundreds were wounded by gunfire, and two survivors later died from related complications.
Read the full storyActor Alyssa Milano encouraged people who had experienced sexual harassment or assault to post “me too,” amplifying activist Tarana Burke's years-old movement. Millions of responses helped expose misconduct across industries and institutions.
President Trump signed a major rewrite of federal tax law. It permanently reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and temporarily changed individual rates, deductions, exemptions and the child tax credit.
