Initially, there may have been some support for the move, but as time passed, it became clear to many that it was a costly mistake. The fallout from Comey's dismissal expanded into a significant controversy that overshadowed the administration's agenda.

The Trump campaign had, perhaps less than inadvertently, replicated the scheme from Mel Brooks's The Producers. In that classic, Brooks's larcenous and dopey heroes, Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, set out to sell more than 100 percent of the ownership stakes in the Broadway show they are producing. Since they will be found out only if the show is a hit, everything about the show is premised on its being a flop. Accordingly, they create a show so outlandish that it actually succeeds, thus dooming our heroes. — Michael Wolff Fire and Fury:...

She treated her father with some lightness, even irony, and in at least one television interview she made fun of his comb-over. She often described the mechanics behind it to friends: an absolutely clean pate-a contained island after scalp reduction surgery-surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the center and then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray. The color, she would point out to comical effect, was from a product called Just for Men-the longer it was left on, the darker it got. Impatience resulted in Trump's orange-blond hair color. — Michael Wolff Fire and Fury:...

Bannon had announced himself as Trump's brain, a boast that vastly irritated the president. — Michael Wolff Fire and Fury:...

Shortly after Lewandowski, with whom Hicks had an on-and-off romantic relationship, was fired in June 2016 for clashing with Trump family members, Hicks sat in Trump Tower with Trump and his sons, worrying about Lewandowski's treatment in the press and wondering aloud how she might help him. Trump, who otherwise seemed to treat Hicks in a protective and even paternal way, looked up and said, "Why? You've already done enough for him. You're the best piece of tail he'll ever have," sending Hicks running from the room. — Michael Wolff Fire and Fury:...

My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops? — David Mitchell Cloud Atlas
