US President Donald Trump appears to be running out of lifelines to save himself politically.
CNN reports Trump had hoped a range of pivotal events would turn the electoral tide in his direction, but they're vanishing as quickly as Halloween candy.
A coronavirus vaccine hasn't been created. Nor has a massive stimulus package materialized. And the investigation into the Clinton Foundation was a bust.
So the president has taken to dialing Fox hosts from the White House and ripping his senior-most Cabinet members for not delivering before election day.

He is in a completely different universe right now where nobody is left, really, to help him out of the jams he keeps getting himself into. Mary Trump Niece of Donald Trump Author, 'Too Much and Never Enough'
