President Trump did us all proud on his Asia trip – at least those of us who are still prouder to be Americans rather than citizens of the world. He scored points by simply behaving like the leader of our nation and the free world.
President Obama was never comfortable in either role. He often acted like he was ashamed of the United States and gave speeches that blurred the distinction between friend and foe.
Not President Trump. He was open and forthright about his aims: he was in Asia to address North Korea’s development of nuclear weapons and long-range missiles, help right America's trade imbalance with China, and reassure our allies about American staying power.
Just in case anyone in Pyongyang or Beijing – or Hanoi or Manila for that matter – missed this message, there were three U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups operating off the Korean peninsula to reinforce its importance.
The world was never comfortable with President Obama's bowing and scraping. Other nations couldn't understand why the head of the world's only superpower would deliberately project weakness rather than strength.

The contrast could not be more stark.
Just look at what can be done by President Trump when the people he is working actually want to get things accomplished.
Looking at you GOP Congress.
Does everyone remember this?
When I think of Obama’s trip to China, the image immediately comes to mind of his being forced to deplane using the aircraft steps instead of the usual stairs being brought out to the aircraft and red carpet rolled out.
Trump is controversial because anti American sentiment has become the primary focus of much of Wasington, the media and government at all levels. Trump sounds no different than all of the early presidents, those who served before the influence of communism. Anyone before Wilson spoke with the same voice used by Trump. He literally harkens us back to the deepest sources of genuine Americanism.
It is said, “A picture is worth a THOUSAND words.”
What YOU posted changes it to “TWO pictures are worth a BILLION words.”
I sat here stunned. Thank you fellow AMERICAN.
I know “I” don’t count ... but I am very proud of this President and what he is doing. He really is keeping his promise of Make America Great Again.
0bama never represented the US. He represented leftists, Moslems, and all who shared his hatred of Whitey.
The Chinese proved my perception of Obama 100% spot on.
Those two pictures on the forum showing the greetings of Obama vs Trump arriving in China, made it crystal clear who was respected more.
Trump has now handled himself quite well on several trips to foreign nations.
We are lucky to have him following on to Obama.
You are right. He is accomplishing a lot on his trips, because his team is a well oiled machine (seemingly).
I suspect there was a massive amount of pre-trip planning and accomplishments before the trips took place.
