As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Obama made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa.

I don't know, seems pretty qualified to me.



Trump is a businessman - which has nothing to do with government or politics. The difference is staggering. When Trump walks into the boardroom and makes a decision, that's the end of it. When the President walks into the Oval Office and makes a decision, it's two years trying to make it happen while forty-six different groups try to fight him (while one third of those groups file lawsuits to stop him) and then two more years defending that decision.

Trump has no experience in government - at all. He doesn't "deal with China" but instead deals with a business in China (mostly the ones that make his ties), and chances are he doesn't deal with them at all but has staff that handles all of that for him.

At the same time, who knows - this might be exactly what is needed. When someone tells the President "This is how we've always done it" maybe we need the President to say "No, that's ridiculous".
