- jjgreen 3y agoYou're quite right, it should "Ex Trump-fixer" or just "Ex Trump fixer" since the meaning is unambiguous (since an Ex-Trump fixer is silly).
- add-sub-mul-div 3y agoIt's more or less correct the way the headline has it, but technially an "en dash" is supposed to be used in this situation rather than a hyphen. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash#Attributive_compounds https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash#Attributive_compounds
