Trump could lose reelection in 100 days - and the US is on edge

WASHINGTON - Donald Trump has 100 days from Sunday to save his presidency, while America tries to avoid a collective nervous breakdown ahead of one of the most divisive, tension-filled elections in US history.

At the centre is real estate magnate and surprise 2016 presidential victor Trump, a man who boasts he never tires of "winning" yet faces possibile humiliation on 3 November. One is a billionaire born into extreme privilege, while the other, with three decades in the Senate and two terms as vice president under Barack Obama, is the epitome of the professional politician.Trump's pitch boils down to claiming Biden will have Americans "cowering to radical left-wing mobs."On Thursday, Trump canceled the traditional, big Republican convention planned in Florida next month due to coronavirus concerns. The Democrats scrapped their version weeks ago.

To boot, Trump, with overall approval ratings permanently stuck in the low 40 percent range, is the first president to seek reelection after impeachment.Belittled as a clown in 2016, he handily defeated all the top Republican establishment names for the nomination. He then came from behind to defeat the Democrats' polished candidate Hillary Clinton."I'm not losing, because those are fake polls," he insisted on Fox News last weekend.
