JAMES COMEY/MEDIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “James Comey has shifted hundreds of thousands of copies of a “A Higher Loyalty” and has a bumper bestseller on his hands. But whether his book tour has advanced his goal of alerting Americans to the danger of what he sees as a presidency that threatens ‘much of what is good in this nation’ is far less clear. The former FBI director will have a new chance to make his case to the country in a CNN town hall meeting Wednesday [4-25-18] night at his alma mater, The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, hosted by Anderson Cooper. It was probably inevitable that Comey’s warnings would be overshadowed, given that he’s now one of the most polarizing figures in American life following his role in the 2016 election, which left him despised by supporters of both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. In the storm whipped up by the book, his calls for ethical leadership and fears that Trump is damaging the institutions that underpin the republic have been drowned out by reaction to his more mundane observations — for instance, about Trump’s skin tone and hand size, which some critics saw as vindictive.”
