Findings
When history comes to review the 2010s in North America, the issue of leadership will undoubtedly figure significantly. It will surely seem a mystery how the first black American president, and a Democrat, served for two terms to be followed by at least one term of one of the most hard right Republican presidents ever to sit in the Oval Office. Putting aside their diverse political tendencies, it is also remarkable how two such different personalities served the American people in the same decade. Truly, the awkward meeting on the White House steps as Obama handed over to Trump will become a seminal moment in history, although little will ever be known about what was really going on inside the head of both leaders.
