This piece certainly doesn't pull any punches. The comparison you draw between the two presidencies is definately stark. I think there's some truth to the idea that Obama's legacy has been more vulnerable than people expected becuase a lot of it was built on executive actions rather than lasting legislative change. The point about the Abraham Accords being dismissed as impossible by the foreign policy establishment is legitimately interesting. Whether you agree with Trump's approach or not, those peace agreements were substancial. I do think it's worth noting that every president inherits different circumstances, but the economic growth numbers you cite are hard to argue with. This is definitely a conversation people are still going to be having for decades.
