For a guy whose presidential legacy lies in tatters, Barack Obama seems surprisingly nonplussed.

Between expanding his deal with Netflix and batting away rumors of a Hollywood affair, Obama found time to make a splash in the headlines this January, when at Jimmy Carter’s funeral the world watched him chuckling and chatting amiably with president-elect Donald Trump. The scene raised some eyebrows, and not just because Obama had, just half a year earlier, called him too “dangerous” to be president.

It is Trump, after all, who has done more than anyone to dismantle almost every one of Obama’s signature accomplishments, from his landmark climate agreement and successful rapprochement with state adversaries to his Wall Street reform and raft of environmental protections. Maybe worse, despite the association of Obama with the idea of a more civil, tolerant, optimistic, and unified United States, the country hasn’t felt much like any of these things in the decade since he left office, thanks in no small part to Trump’s trickle-down effect on the national culture. To the extent that anyone still mentions Obama’s “hope and change,” it’s muttered in grim sarcasm.
