Obama and Trump have striking similarities. Both outsiders. Both treated like the golden idol who would magically fix the country all on his own. Both woefully inexperienced and naive on healthcare and foreign policy. Voters haven't learned a thing.
That said, Trump's idea to work with Russia in an anti hacking unit was particularly, and dangerously, inept. And you don't have to be an experienced politican to recognize this. Thank God the Republicans seem to have set him straight on that one. Checks and balances are working, even if Trump has no respect for them. He is far too easily flattered to be an effective leader. I stand by my earlier comment, the government just needs to pretend Trump doesn't exist at this point. A figure head, if necessary, nothing more.
