By the winter of 2017, Trump was in the White House and the federal minimum wage stood at $7.25/hr — the country was also navigating widespread debate over intelligence findings that bipartisan congressional voices were affirming Russian interference in the 2016 election. On screen and on the airwaves, Hidden Figures was drawing major crowds at the box office while Migos featuring Lil Uzi Vert held the number-one spot on the charts with "Bad and Boujee." The Houston Astros had claimed their first-ever World Series title that October, and that winter the International Olympic Committee made history by banning Russia entirely from the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang following a formal investigation into state-sponsored doping.
