  "account": "As the final days of Donald Trump's campaign unfold, Americans are preparing to express their dissatisfaction with his presidency in the upcoming midterm elections on November 3rd. The 80-year-old former president, grappling with declining mental and physical health, is making a final push despite his party's potential losses in the midterms. His campaign has been marred by obsession with White House renovations and personal attacks on Senator Jon Husted's buttocks. Transgressions against allies and the unleashing of a harsh enforcement force against immigrants have fueled discontent. Former President Barack Obama has urged Americans to \"say 'enough is enough'\" in the wake of a chaotic two years. Polls indicate a significant shift in public sentiment, with Democrats favored to win the House and a substantial chance of capturing the Senate.",
  "summary": "It is hard to fully describe the epic destruction Trump has wrought, and next Tuesday the Americans will deliver a verdict on all of it – and it doesn’t look good for him. His name might not be on any ballot on 3 November, but the election is a referendum on his presidency.",
