Trump Is Strangely Silent After His Brutal Takedown On TV Last Night

If you missed it, there was quite the late hour buzz on Twitter Thursday night after a clip from a news show mocking Donald Trump’s absurd make up job began to go viral. Lawrence O’Donnell hit Trump where it hurts him the most, straight in his vanity, and all social media braced for the return punch. Crickets. Not last night, not this morning and it’s already afternoon on the east coast.

I never understood how its worshipers could see strength in a thing who has to smear 💩 make-up all over its face before it goes anywhere. pic.twitter.com/FpHGIiQlQp

You heard it. A “horror movie face” is “not a face you want to present to a criminal jury.” And then O’Donnell doubled down on the “profoundly strange looking man sitting at the defense table.” O’Donnell is right about one thing, Trump is lying to you the minute you set eyes on him because he presents this brown visage, which I guess equates to athleticism and health to him, and not his true face. In truth, Trump’s clumsy bronzing job is just one step removed from Rudy Giuliani’s hair dye rolling down his cheeks. That’s the only thing that hasn’t happened yet, is Trump’s makeup melting and falling off — although it used to rub off on COVID masks, which is why he hated wearing them. They smeared his makeup.

As well you know, Trump is nothing if not consistent. So if he’s not lashing out at O’Donnell and *MS-DNC* as he loves to call that network, then there is a reason.

1. His handlers have told him, let it go.
2. He hasn’t seen the clip yet (which is what I think.)
3. He’s still planning his explosion he’s just got to take care of all his other worries du jour first, before he can get to this one.
4. He’s having somebody research something particularly vicious to say about O’Donnell.

I have never seen instance number one of somebody high profile, or even low profile for that matter, taking a shot at Trump and him not responding in kind. This would be the first time. So let’s just wait for the other shoe to drop.

And there is a fifth possibility here and if this is the case then you know Trump is on the ropes: maybe Trump can’t think about anything other than Monday. That would certainly be the case for any normal person and maybe Trump has finally realized that the jig is up and he can’t weasel out of this one. He could simply be too busy bouncing off the walls to even care what some news show host thinks. It could well be.

Finally, don’t forget what was said yesterday about Dan Scavino being “the most powerful man in politics” and that being a set up for Trump to find something debilitating to happen to him Sunday night so he doesn’t have to go to court on Monday morning. Trump’s lawyers, obviously, know things that we do not. So Trump may simply be weighing his odds and wondering what kind of obfuscation and delay he can manufacture at this point without being held in contempt of court.

Remember, this is a man who tried to delay this trial TEN times, three of those times being three days in a row. He got no, no, and NO for answers, but I don’t think he’s going to take no for an answer. I think he may try to find some way to stay out of court on Monday.

Let’s watch and see. If Trump does show up to court on Monday it will only be because his lawyers managed to convince him that he absolutely has no other recourse. If he can find any way to stay away, I predict that he will.
