President Trump’s second year in office was filled with plenty of dramatic moments. There were the public embraces of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin; clashes with reporters and lawmakers at the White House, and the responses to mass shootings, hurricanes and wildfires that affected millions of Americans in 2018.
