Donald Trump thinks so highly of himself that he’s decided, or at least decided to claim, that Hillary Clinton is copying his style, tweeting this morning,
Do people notice Hillary is copying my airplane rallies – she puts the plane behind her like I have been doing from the beginning.

However, CBS News’ Sopan Deb has picked up on the fact that like so many other Trump claims, this one isn’t true:
Hillary Clinton, per @nancycordes, has not done an airplane rally. https://t.co/jbesa8E1ec

What Trump has not done is held any press conferences for almost two months. Accusing Hillary Clinton of copying him is a distraction, yet another attempt by Trump to control the flow of events by pointing fingers in all directions and hoping the media jumps. All too often they do, but Trump is surrounded by numerous fact-checkers now, and he is not finding it so easy anymore.
