1. No. His silences have happened before, but his big, fat, narcissistic ego won't let him be quiet.

He might go 24 hours. Maybe 48. But there will definitely be a tweet storm.

But clearly the Papadopolous stuff rattled him enough to shut him up momentarily.

A lot of trumps insanity is actually planned. He thinks ahead a little ways on what peoples reaction, or thoughts will be. Hes decent at it, but its obvious mueller knows this. Im guessing hes thinking what lies to make next and what conclusion he wants to lead people to.

but he's still throwing the tantrums:

Watching the developments unfold on the large television screens installed in his private residence, Trump was "seething," according to a Republican close to the White House.

http://edition.cnn.com/2017/10/30/politics/donald-trump-mueller-reaction/index.html

Separated from most of his West Wing staff — who fretted over why he was late getting to the Oval Office — Trump clicked on the television and spent the morning playing fuming media critic, legal analyst and crisis communications strategist, according to several people close to him.

The president digested the news of the first indictments in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s probe with exasperation and disgust, these people said. He called his lawyers repeatedly. He listened intently to cable news commentary. And, with rising irritation, he watched live footage of his onetime campaign adviser and confidant, Paul Manafort, turning himself in to the FBI.
...
But Trump’s anger Monday was visible to those who interacted with him, and the mood in the corridors of the White House was one of weariness and fear of the unknown. As the president groused upstairs, many staffers — some of whom have hired lawyers to help them navigate Mueller’s investigation — privately speculated about where the special counsel might turn next.

“The walls are closing in,” said one senior Republican in close contact with top staffers who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly. “Everyone is freaking out.”
