Trump's habit of projecting. I hope in some debate in front of a national audience

Hillary will calmly explain that when the Don calls her a "liar" and "crooked," he is merely projecting those unwanted qualities of his onto her instead.

There are so many examples of his being a liar and crooked and a sham that the only problem would be figuring out which key examples to use.

Wikipedia

Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.

She will be clear and concise and piss Trump off so much that he may walk off the stage.
