I think the Americans are starting to realize that in the world right now a steady hand and an even temperament is a requirement. Trump has come across as a guy who is increasingly just winging it. In his public appearances he looks increasingly flustered, increasingly very unpresidential both in how he presents himself and the content and manner of what he says. This is interesting, not great news for Donald...https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/20/politics/poll-of-the-week-joe-biden-blowout-donald-trump-election/index.html

The trouble with that is, aside from being an amoral way to lead, it's a style of leadership that will lead to a country eating itself from within. A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Has there been any city or state he has refused to send security reinforces into?

Trump is running for re-election this year. Not Hilary. Nobody in their right mind, regardless of who they support should take these early polls as set in stone like the 10 Commandments.

That's an increase of 3.9% over 3 years or an average 1.3% per annum. Not sure if I'd call that exceptional by any stretch of the imagination. And up to August 2020 manufacturing has actually lost 200k jobs since his inauguration or nearly 700k jobs lost since February this year. By contrast under Obama manufacturing jobs increased by nearly 1 million.

Even when they do, he can’t tolerate honest feedback and ends up firing them pronto. Trump is a great salesman - he must have been to persuade banks to keep lending him money through all those bankruptcies - but he’s no good at running a country. In the end he has had to fall back on family members as he did at his company. However, despite every grotesque thing he has done, his support, especially among the poorly educated, remains firm. He’ll lose the popular vote but could still win the election.

Glad you agree that the other three things on that list are not bizarre to see as being good though and reasons to vote Trump in for another 4 years.
