The juxtaposition of Annie Linskey’s front-page Sunday Globe article on Donald Trump’s difficulty in finding legal help (“Top defense attorneys took a pass on Trump”) and Renée Graham’s column in the same edition on the boost UN Ambassador Nikki Haley received politically from publicly contradicting her boss (“A long game, no matter the cost,” Ideas), along with the apparent success of James Comey’s book release, suggests yet another new twist on this already surreal chapter of American history: It seems that many are concluding it is now far more damaging to one’s business or career to be hired by this president of the United States than to be fired by him.
