There are so many pictures that show stark differences between Donald Trump and Obama. These are some selections that I’ve come across or known.
Their reaction to killing a terrorist leader.
You can tell in Obama’s expression that he had that sense of fear in him as lives of American soldiers were at stake during the mission. Trump, on the other hand, looks like he’s watching a film.
When they were announcing the death of their targets, Obama gave his speech in a very formal manner, giving all the due credits to the brave men and women who made the mission a success. Trump claimed all the credits and saw himself as the one who caught Al-Baghdadi.
Hand Gestures
Obama always had that inward hand gesture, as though he is reserved and trying to put himself in whatever he is saying. Trump’s more outward gestures, together with his tendency to sound as though he’s boasting, makes him look like he’s boasting. It would feel as though he’s lecturing you over something that you should’ve known from the start.
The way children see them and how they treat children.
Look at how that child openly hugs Obama and Obama returns the hug with a hug. Meanwhile, the child is obviously terrified of Trump but, Trump doesn’t know that!
Even babies can perceive the differences between both of their aura. Trump looks like he kidnapped two babies and he couldn’t pacify them!
Inauguration Turnout
This needs no explanation. When we saw this image back in 2017, we already knew what Trump’s presidency had in store.
People Interaction
When Trump first went to the White House, he is the first president to not wait for his wife! He went straight to shake the Obamas’ hands while his wife, Melania, got off from the other side and had to walk just that little bit more.
Obama respected the cultures of other countries and he bowed before Emperor Akihito of Japan as a sign of respect. Trump brushed that off and towered over the Emperor.
The Obamas always had that friendly, jolly atmosphere around them. The Trumps looked as though they are strict and almost soldier-like reserved.
The difference between Obama and Trump can be seen by how they interact with the greater public. Obama marches with people while Trump forms a chain of riot police to keep people away from him.
Obama cared about others and will often walk under the rain while Michelle often had the umbrella. Trump, on the other hand, will let others walk under the rain but him, a true leader!
Even with world leaders, Obama was someone that they could talk with, laugh with, work with. Trump made it hard on other world leaders instead.
And let’s not forget that time when Trump shoved the Prime Minister of Montenegro to get to the front of the pack.
Lastly, Obama was the type to hug people, even non-Americans. This just shows his compassion to others, regardless of their nationality.
Although, I can never discredit that one time when Trump hugged the American flag on stage. Whether that was true patriotism or blind patriotism, I’ll let you be the judge. What’s important is he did it before the cameras and it is, what it is.
There are so many more images out there. However, these few images are enough to show those tiny things which differentiate Obama from Trump.
Of course, these images are not representative of their entire character. However, it is the small things which differentiate both leaders.
