Two photos that perfectly sum up 2017

It’s been a rough year.

And though there are many, many contenders for the photos that sum up 2017, there’s two in particular that really ram things home.

Ivanka Trump sitting in her father’s chair is the first one.

The US President’s daughter was snapped taking a seat on his chair in the name of equal opportunity.

Though the sentiment was nice, most people online saw it as the perfect demonstration of the family’s nepotism.

Nigel Farage laughing is the other.

This one is a bit of a no-brainer, isn’t it? Farage’s years-long campaign for Britain to leave the EU has come to fruition, and then some.

And if that wasn't enough, he successfully campaigned for the government redesign project to make British passports blue again.

Farage did swallow a bitter pill though - he claims he was overlooked for a Knighthood because of his Brexit campaigning. Still, as he told The Telegraph, in his mind:

I have got a Brexmas present far more important than the honour. A campaign to get back British blue passports has been successful. I held that passport up every day [during the referendum campaign] so I couldn’t be happier.

What a time to be alive.
