Is it: “Americans Are Officially Freaking Out Almost two-thirds say this is the lowest point in U.S. history—and it’s keeping a lot of them up at night,” claims Bloomberg headline this week.
Or is it: As an article by the Agence France-Presse wire service earlier this week notes, “For many in Trump’s America, a year to crow about.”
I don't think any of the polls being produced by the MSM can be relied on. They are all now obviously partisan, and some of them no longer even make bones about it.
I think you have to look at less obvious indices to see where America's head really is:
Unemployment down to 4.6%, lower than anything since 2000.
Consumer confidence is way up.
Investment is way up.
260,000 new jobs this month.
Dow closes at record high in wild session after release of tax reform bill, Powell nomination.

The wage gap is at an all-time high.
Well, we're stuck in the tyranny of the present, so my answer will be informed by that. My answer is "The Trump Presidency: America's Democratic values and institutions are tesYted."
Yes, with so many of the opposition neo-fascistically screaming "Out Damn Spot! Out!"
BWAHAHAHAHA! The irony is soooo delicious.
Changing the quote to make it look silly. How dishonest.
The wage gap is at an all-time high.
If by that you mean that more young women than men have college degrees and are therefore more likely to have higher paying jobs, I agree.
Did you change my post on purpose?

Perhaps no fringe character of Milwaukee’s history is as well known or as misunderstood as Katherine B. “Kittie” Williams, the so-called “grand Madame” of the city’s old red light district. Williams garners mention in most city histories and a representation of her brothel... By 1882, Williams had purchased a pair of unassuming three-story buildings on the present-day site of Red Arrow Park. There, she established herself as the proprietor of Milwaukee’s finest “sporting house.” In 1889, The Sporting and Club House Guide to Milwaukee gushed about her establishment—“the finest of the kind in the city”—writing that her side-by-side homes were “two splendid instruments, and with very talented professors, one can always enjoy the music.”
As for her celebrated “professors,” she usually had between eight and 12 women working in her house. Young women wrote to her from across the country, hoping to secure work. But in these women, a sad angle to the life emerges. Williams spoke of her girls in a motherly tone...Kittie Williams died in 1943. The notices of her death proclaimed her the “Queen” of the old vice district and a nightlife “legend.”

Obviously, “For many in Trump’s America, a year to crow about.”
Trump got elected. Seems a lot of Putin's people were also excited and rightly so:
The ebullient reaction among high-ranking Russian officials — including some who U.S. officials believe had knowledge of the country’s cyber campaign to interfere in the U.S. election — contributed to the U.S. intelligence community’s assessment that Moscow’s efforts were aimed at least in part at helping Trump win the White House.

I think there are multiple "truths" about America. Trump's fans will say everything is better than it was a year ago, and people who really hate Trump are likely to call this one of the worst years in history. Everyone else is living in an America that is economically trending the same as it has been for years now, are hopeful that the slow growth we are experiencing will get around to supplying decent jobs, and they're hoping that they can have affordable health care for their family.
