Trump seems to be against the ropes, and some are starting worry about how he might react if his poll numbers keep dropping.  Some critics thing Trump is preemptively blaming foreign countries for his 2020 loss. He’s also going nuts about voting by mail, because he says it will lead to fraud, but really he know it means he …
