ANALYSIS — Donald Trump has a tell, and it has been on full display lately.
The Republican nominee and former president often accuses his opponents of doing things he does or has been accused of doing. For instance, as he was racking up, at one point, 91 felony charges, he cooked up the “Crooked Joe” moniker for his then-expected general election foe, President Joe Biden.
Trump was an extremely active campaigner during the 2016 election cycle, regularly holding multiple rallies in multiple states. The COVID-19 pandemic limited his rally schedule in 2020, but there are no such restrictions now. Yet, he has held but two rallies in recent weeks — and one was in deep-red Montana, not a presidential battleground, as he worked to help an effort to oust Democratic Sen. Jon Tester.
