For what it’s worth, the Rose Garden campaign tactic is something that is in every presidential incumbent’s arsenal. It’s one of the reasons that it’s so hard to beat an incumbent - they don’t have to prove they’re presidential, because they are doing presidential things.

Similarly, in congressional and legislative elections, incumbents do something similar by running strong constituency services.

he will, and constantly does have to ‘prove he’s presidential’

and he’d (theoretically) be limited at official and rose garden type events with what he can say

plus there’d be no audience of significance, no red hats, t-shirts, etc
