Other than increased military presence near Russia as a show of force to European allies, I really can't think of anything that makes Trump's job any more difficult. Let it be noted Obama was left with two armed conflicts to figure out and an economy in shambles.

Yes and Trump was left with Obama's entire middle eastern policy that has failed. We are still in Iraq, Afganastan, now in Syria. Iran is beating their drums. China, Russia are militarily more active globally and threatening us. We will probably end up in Ukraine. N. Korea is a mess and that doesn't even take into account the increase and spread of ISIS thru the ME, N. Africa and into Asia. All on Obama's watch.
Oh and the Economy? It ain't that great either, hence the election results.
When Obama took office historians praised the Bush administration on it's transition of power, stating it was the model for all. Bush brought in Obama's people when he crafted the auto bailout, at Obama's request. All an easy Google if your memory is gone. Trump has had no such cooperation, in fact Obama was still drafting executive orders in direct opposition to Trump, right up till the end. The Media and Obama? They were all stumbling over the tingles in their legs to get close and praise their anointed one, compared to today's daily attacks on Trump.
If you believe the transitions facing the Obama and Trump administrations were similar, your delusional..... Oh wait, you're a liberal, delusional, it's synonymous.

Congressional GOP perceived white guilt was VERY real when the first African American took office as POTUS. To say the 2009 GOP 'racist-obstructionist' fears are excuses, when comparing early accomplishments, is just hooey. Not to mention the entrenched elites in the GOP that a Trump admin is having to 'bargain with' over immigration and Obamacare let alone the democrats. I'm frustrated too but he's necessarily bucking both sides of the entire system. I'm with you though in keeping his feet to the fire. We don't need Florida pep rallies and campaign stumping now, we need wheeling, dealing and liberal crushing action.
oh the irony...
Quicker to do what?
Is it a sprint or a marathon??
You need to calm down man. You're not assessing the situation accurately.
Obama had full support from Congress and the Senate. Trump has zero support from Democrats and establishment Republicans.
It's an uphill battle man. Always was. Sit tight. Give the man 8 months to clean house.
Because the stock market crashed. Always easier to get things done when the S+P is at 666.
