Half a dozen Trump aides in the administration and his re-election effort told The Daily Beast that the Trump campaign is trying to “make Biden the new Hillary” by accusing him of shady foreign dealings, supporting a culture of “corruption,” and portraying him as an immigrant-loving elitist.
Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale failed miserably when he tried this pathetic attack on Twitter in April:
