#3: They insist on not talking about the present in order to strangle his agenda to change the status quo.

BTW, he has said 'his legacy' never enters into what he does. He says his focus and joy with being POTUS lies within the changes for the better. It's not about him. It's whether life for others get better that is his pleasure.

#2: They are insinuating that he is a phony and as shallow as they are. They are privileged, most of them in their places through nepotism (check the marriages, family lineage and their shared associations) and living in that position seldom leads to original thought. They live in the past.

#1: They've been dreaming about him being out of office before he was in office. They can't bear to think for one second of 'that man' in the White House.

The more ominous part comes from the fact that a person's legacy is not usually discussed until they are dead. Which really puts the icing on the cake of #1. It's a Death Wish.

JMNSHO.
