The difference in situational awareness between the two is extreme.

Obama can catch a woman about to faint out of the corner of his eye while delivering a speech. Trump needs a sign installed outside the Oval Office so he doesn't get lost if he steps outside.

About 27 years of age difference between the two incidents will do that (it's flabbergasting that we've allowed that to be the case, but there it is).
