MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell suggested that Donald Trump’s recent silence on the Jeffrey Epstein files controversy may be speaking volumes.
The president “has more than one way of expressing how, say, terrified he is,” O’Donnell said Monday. “He might fly into obsessive, relentless social media postings about the thing he’s terrified about, sometimes he’ll do it about the thing he’s terrified about, and sometimes not, sometimes about anything else, which is kind of what he’s been doing.”
But there’s a different pattern too, suggested O’Donnell.
“The other way Donald Trump communicates his fear is silence, which is also what he’s been doing,” he said.
“That’s how Donald Trump treats the things he’s most afraid of, in my observation. And so, judging by his silence, Donald Trump is living in abject terror tonight of the Epstein files,” he added.
Calls for the release of federal records relating to late convicted sex offender Epstein have grown in recent weeks, especially from some of Trump’s most devoted acolytes.
