I actually think its possible that Obama and Trump could be viewed together in a similar way TR and Wilson are . Just like that era was called the Progressive Era, I think their era could be called the age of populism or the age of outsiders but the difference is while the progressive era is considered a success this era will be considered a failure.
Keep in mind that while Obama and Trump are viewed as very different today and both despise what each other stand for so did Teddy and Wilson. Teddy absolutely hated Wilson and attacked him a lot during his presidency and in extremely harsh terms too. Their approaches were extremely different too, almost as stark as Obama's and Trump's:
Teddy: His foreign policy was based more or less on nationalism and his desire in a way to create an American empire and basically tried to get his agenda passed through the use of the bully pulpit.
Wilson: His foreign policy was more based on a vision of more global cooperation, and governed in a very intellectual and professorial manner.
