Donald Trump has continued his attack on the media, specifically recent poll numbers showing the president down in six key battleground states. A poll released on Thursday found former Vice President Joe Biden leading the president in states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
Blaming the media on his slip in the polls comes as an additional 1.5m Americans file for unemployment benefits amid the coronavirus pandemic, bringing the official count to about 47.2m. Mr Trump has attempted ot curb worries about the surge in coronavirus cases by saying it's due to increased testing, but that doesn't explain an increase in hospitalisations in states like Texas.
On Twitter, the president also slammed peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters, labelling them “roving gangs of wise guys, anarchists & looters” as statue-toppling continues across the nation and the country reckons with its dark history in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis a month ago today.

The president also disparaged the anti-racism activists as he met with Polish president Andrzej Duda in the White House Rose Garden on Wednesday, accusing them of tearing down America’s cultural heritage and history and insisting he would not allow it to happen on his watch.
Trump appears to be fixating on the actions of the demonstrators against divisive monuments - and in Seattle’s occupied zone - to shore up Republican support as he finds himself lagging in the polls behind Joe Biden (by as much as 14 percentage points, according to The New York Times this week).
The same tactic appears to explain his sudden pivot towards accusing his predecessor, Barack Obama, of ruining Maine’s fishing industry, seemingly out of nowhere.
