One example came earlier this month, when Trump's campaign released an advertisement comparing Biden and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, which closed with the line: "At least Bernie remembers his positions." "His sharpness, or lack thereof is on display every day, every time he talks," Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh told CNN in response to questions about the strategy. Biden often looks down at his notes, which Trump's allies have mischaracterized as Biden falling asleep. Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign manager, said Trump "always projects his greatest weakness on his opponent in an attempt to deflect criticism from himself." The attacks are similar to how Trump's campaign went after Clinton in 2016, Mook noted.
