As the transition of Donald Trump starts to roll along, the current President is preparing for life after the White House and wrapping up his legacy over the last 8 years. Barack Obama made history in 2008 when he became the first African-American President of the United States. Over the last two terms, he has made significant changes and contributions to the American lifestyle, all producing varying degrees of success.
The 2016 presidential campaign season has arguably been one of the most divisive times in American political history. The major political party candidates, Donald Trump(R) and Hillary Clinton(D), are considered the most unlikable presidential candidates that America has ever seen.
It is reasonable to say that a decent portion of 2016 has been very political for many of us, thanks to this year’s election. The impacts of this historic election are just beginning to become clear as the inauguration of Donald Trump edges closer and closer. Trump, with his transition team, is constructing his cabinet and getting ready for his powerful job in this rapidly shortening time period.

We do not see those things here.”
Now, it is just a matter of time until we know who the next President of the United States will be. The two major party candidates, Trump and Hillary, have been involved in a multitude of controversies. They are widely seen, according to numerous polls, as the most unfavorable candidates in U.S history. The three presidential debates have also been, for lack of a better word, vicious and very heated.
This undeclared "Free Press Revolution" has taken the world by storm in the most unlikely of countries. Movies banned, cartoonists gunned down and journalists imprisoned–it sounds like the premise of a bad dystopian book. But, it, in fact, is a reality in countries such as the US, France and Australia. Treatment of journalists and artists has manifested in hackings, marches and protests. Free press and expression is a natural right with which nearly every country provides its citizens; though it now seems to be nullified by extremist groups with their own agendas.
