Biden campaign strategists are reportedly focusing on developing tactics to provoke Trump during the upcoming presidential debate.

President Biden and former President Trump have taken vastly different approaches to preparing for Thursday's presidential debate, with the former hoping to "trigger" the latter in the heat of the moment, while the latter relies heavily on his campaign experience, according to multiple reports.

Biden and his aides have been meeting at Camp David for five days, while Trump has been discussing policy with allies in preparation for the upcoming debate on CNN's Atlanta studios.

The Times reported that an old movie theater and airplane hangar have been transformed into a mock debate stage for Biden to prepare for his upcoming offensive against Trump on issues such as immigration, abortion, and claims that he is confused and frail, which appear to be supported by various videos.

Biden's mock debates have included his personal attorney, Bob Bauer, playing the role of Trump, while the team helping prepare him is being led by former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, and includes National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, current White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, White House counselor Steve Richetti, as well as campaign officials Anita Dunn, Mike Donilon, Ben LaBolt, Jen O'Malley Dillon, Cedric Richmond, Julie Chavez Rodriquez, Quentin Fulks, Michael Tyler, and Rob Flaherty.

According to the report, Brian Deese, a former White House official, is expected to assist.

According to three sources close to the debate prep, Biden advisors are analyzing Trump's recent remarks to identify potential triggers and disrupt his recent disciplined demeanor during the upcoming debate.

According to a source, the objective is to provoke a reaction from "rally Trump" by making him feel like a "loser" through an attack on his 2020 election loss and subsequent actions that led to the Jan. 6 protest. Another source added that this could be achieved by Biden specifically targeting these events.

According to sources, attacking Trump's post-2020 election actions could help boost Biden with independent voters who might be turned off by continued claims he actually won the election.

A Biden campaign official stated that the president must tread carefully because he needs to be perceived as the "grown-up" among the two leaders. The official added that it's unnecessary for Biden to provoke Trump, as their differing views on the country will become evident without any goading.

On Saturday, Trump attended a rally at Temple University in Philadelphia and the Faith and Freedom Coalition's Road to Majority conference in Washington, D.C. During his Philadelphia stop, he told Fox that the "best strategy" was to be around people who shout questions at him.

During his rally, Trump humorously inquired the crowd about his strategy for the debate stage.

Should I confront him with harshness or approach him with kindness and allow him to express himself?

Trump expressed confidence in his own debate abilities, stating that he was not concerned about Biden's preparation.

Trump stated, "If he prepares, he'll be fine. However, he'll likely forget it shortly after preparing. We'll observe the outcome."

On Thursday, June 27, at 9:00 p.m. ET, the CNN Presidential Debate Simulcast will be broadcast on The Planet Chronicle Channel.
