Donald Trump is the President of the United States, and the movie Frozen II is at the top of the box office.

Boris Johnson is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. It's 2019, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Lil Nas X, Post Malone, Halsey, Billie Eilish and Ariana Grande. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Lexii Alijai, Derek Acorah, Kobe Bryant, and Caroline Flack would all still be alive.
