I remember an Econmist article about Obama before he took the reins that said that, whilst his outlook was different and his tactics might sometimes differ, the fact remained that he would continue to serve American interests and that would disappoint a lot of external observers. However far apart they were (and they were pretty far apart), Bush and Obama mostly agreed about what the challenges facing the nation were. There's plenty of evidence that Trump doesn't share that common ground.
