Just read an essay about a man who looks like President Obama very much, and at the end of the essay, there is a sentence, "but for all the similarities, it doesn't appear that he and Obama will be trading places any time soon". I want to ask what does trading places mean here? Thank you.

Question

Answer

"but for all the similarities, it doesn't appear that he and Obama will be trading places any time soon"

Trading places with someone simply means " you take my place ,I take yours" or exchange your place with someone's place . Eg I have traded my role as bread winner of the family with my wife
