Yeah, but if the campaign was based on the belief that "Trump is the best candidate regardless of who he's running against" there would never be a need to pivot based on the opponent changing.

Which to me indicates Trump was viewing his 2024 campaign as a grudge match between himself and Biden as opposed to viewing it as a campaign to be elected president of the United States of America.

Like, where's the strength of conviction? The guy is flailing and it's embarrassing.

His campaign is a desperate attempt to get back that sweet sweet presidential immunity, plus all the perks he'll get selling out the country for pennies on the dollar.

That's exactly what it feels like to me as well. Just an attempt to grab power to use for himself.
