For Healey, it’s about Trump, not the economy, definitely not the economy

Thermo Fisher, Panera, Cape Cod Potato Chips, Zipcar. They’ve all recently announced job cuts and/or closing their headquarters in Massachusetts. And don’t forget all those people bolting the state for more affordable environs. So what does Gov. Maura Healey do? Hold a press conference about Trump’s immigration policies. The Globe’s Joan Vennochi has more. And so does, strangely, from a business-news standpoint, Howie Carr. 

Fyi: Re her ICE press conference last week, I should have made the obvious re-election connection, in addition to the obvious pandering-to-the-base connection. I didn’t. But Joan did.
