President-elect Donald Trump's victory on Election Day has put some of President Barack Obama's hallmark achievements in jeopardy.
Trump has come out strongly against almost all of the top initiatives Obama spent eight years working on — the Asia pivot, the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact, Obamacare, and the Iran nuclear deal — and they're fragile enough that Trump could reverse course fairly easily.
"You have an outsider president being replaced by the most outsider candidate ever elected," Ian Bremmer, a geopolitical analyst and president of the Eurasia Group, told Business Insider via email.
"There's nothing like one upsmanship, big league, to destroy your legacy."

Reminds me of Governor Ray Blanton. They whacked his ass a bit early.
Trump needs to completely dismantle this corrupt poser’s handiwork.
Don’t celebrate. As long as the collectivists run the education system, they’ll be back ready to kill. Literally kill.
Well...perhaps Obama was able to improve his golf game over the last 8 years.
I would prefer the American People remember all the screwups, missteps, and errors.
And, that our soon-to-be former pResident is a commie dirtbag.
Hold the Bleachbit, please.
Yes.
I wouldn’t be surprised if 0bama operatives start fires all over.
Executive orders gone!
We need a higher ed reform plan. We are in billions in debt because of SJW millenials
Let’s not be too hasty here, everybody - there’s still a recount going on in New Hampshire or Vermont or . . . someplace /s
absolutely, as long as he gets obamacare repealed post haste.
Oh he is really having fun now!
“Donald Trump could erase Obama’s legacy almost as soon as he takes office”
That’s kind of the point.
He damn well better!
Deeeeelicious!
It's not one-upsmanship, honey, it's common sense.
The naked emperor, has shown himself uncovered.
Thus, putting a very large ((((smile)))) on the face of true American patriots.
Thank You President Donald J. Trump! The M.T. Suit is now set for a fine tailor. It is hoped a better job is done next time.
With the 10 alarm fire in Boston. The one in Oakland and the ones in Tenn.....his people might just be doing that. /s?
Very few would look to their morning constitutional and consider it worthy to keep around.
but since its about the only thing 0bama has actually ever produced... he thinks it amazing.
sorry, 0failure, the dookie you and your ilk produced over the last 8 years is gonna get flushed ASAP
Which is great, but still eight years too late.
