  "account": "Donald Trump, in a relaxed posture, rested his hands on the podium as he addressed a campaign event in Kansas. The President, dressed in a grave demeanor, turned to the audience and warned: \"If you see burning church spires and roaring flames in France, just remember that radical Democrats are plotting the same against America.\"\n\nTrump's supporters, clad in red caps emblazoned with \"USA,\" nodded in agreement, shaking their heads to emphasize their confidence in their idol's words. France, Trump claimed, was being \"invaded, plundered, and burned by jihadists and communists.\"\n\nSince early October, the U.S. President has been touring various states, aiming to salvage what can still be salvaged ahead of the midterm elections on November 3rd. Polls have consistently shown the Republican candidates performing poorly, as they seek to retain their Senate or House of Representatives seats or to win new ones. The fact that Trump deems it necessary to campaign in Kansas is just one indicator of the party's decline. Kansas has not elected a Democratic senator since 1930 and is generally considered a solidly Republican state. Now, the President is employing fear, anxiety, and intimidation as his strategy.",
