During an appearance on MSNBC, Wilson, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, a political action committee against Trump, expressed that Trump’s fears are rooted in a real understanding of the threats he faces. Wilson noted that while Trump may not be exceptionally intelligent, he possesses a level of cunning when it comes to situations that pose personal, legal, or political risks to him.
Wilson highlighted the severity of the Epstein matter, pointing to Senator Dick Durbin’s claim that approximately 1,000 FBI agents were instructed to flag Epstein-related records mentioning the president. He stated that Trump’s behavior, words, and overall demeanor reflect guilt in relation to the Epstein scandal.
Furthermore, Wilson remarked on Trump’s reaction to Ghislaine Maxwell’s arrest, where he offered his well-wishes to her, raising questions about his peculiar relationship with individuals connected to Epstein.
Wilson emphasized that Trump’s preoccupation with the Epstein case has greatly impacted his administration and his own composure, causing a significant disruption in his usual behavior and decision-making processes.
