TO DEMONSTRATE THE DIFFERENCE

To demonstrate the difference in vision and foresight between Obama and Trump, we need only look at the situation between China and the U.S. through the eyes of future historians.  Obama came to office and looked at a situation where the U.S. was becoming more and more dependent on China for manufactured goods and financing and immediately began negotiating a new trade pact with a group that could become a rival and competitor to China.  That group, the TPP, could have changed the whole dynamics of our negotiations with China, but Trump killed the TPP before it could be born and thereby left the U.S. in what may turn out to be an untenable position.
