Totally agree - normally, as the long-term underdog, Trump's best strategy would be to give Biden the rope to hang himself with, get off him off-guard by being nice and not interrupting, that kind of thing.
But it's pretty clear that Trump is not 100% recovered. A slurry, dazed and confused Trump would put a bad message out to the nation and weaken his vote further.
