They're not doing it so much to peel Biden voters or undecideds away. What they're trying to do is to fire up their base and get them energized to vote. For some reason, the Trump campaign seems to think a percentage of their base isn't going to bother to vote, and they're trying to come up with ways for the non-voting base to become angry so that they vote. Again, for some reason, the Trump campaign appears to be going with the strategy that if they can get enough of their base to vote, that that's all they'll need for Trump to get re-elected.
