They never even had a chance to come for the swans.
And if they had, it would have only ended badly for them:

I tend to agree with the “Dominance” theory. She is willing to go into his territory and stand strong, he is afraid to leave his safe space. Won’t matter to his true belivers, but might at the margins, and certainly ups her stock with those who already support her.

I’ve thought about this, and I think you are right. She knows Trump appeals to people who want a “Strongman” leader, so any opportunity to show that he is weak and cowardly is one to be taken.
The strategy isn’t necessarily to convert any TFG supporter, but to discourage them from voting: “he’s not the guy this time.”
I’ve found her campaign interesting. It is subtly different than the usual campaign, and I think it’s because she’s a prosecutor. Her job was literally trying to convince people to “vote” for conviction, whether on the evidence (policy) or discrediting the defense and their witnesses (“weird,” bravely giving the lion a proctological exam in its own den, etc., baiting him into making a fool of himself in the debate), or appealing to the message the conviction will send (“we’re not going back”). I know none of this is new to campaigning per se, but how it is being deployed just feels different than a typical career politician’s election campaign or MAGAt negative attack campaign.
Add to that she and Walz are taking on Biden’s happy warrior mantle, it is quite refreshing and energizing.
