ANALYSIS: Is Trump laying the groundwork for an election loss and move to TV?
Donald Trump's poll numbers have dived; America's coronavirus death toll has soared to the highest in the world under his watch; and his actions after the death of George Floyd fanned division rather than heal a nation.Donald Trump is very popular among Republicans; the rate of coronavirus deaths is going down in the US; and it was violent rioters in states with Democrat governors that caused chaos after George Floyd's death.
Trump has made a virtue of this, attacking those he disagrees with as "fake news" while lauding those who paint him in a positive light. Is the President preparing for an election loss in November, and a move towards a long-held dream of a Trump TV network?It's called the One America News Network and was set up in 2013 by wealthy businessman Robert Herring.What started as a makeshift news network rapidly evolved in its first few years to become seen as one of the most ardently pro-Trump voices in the media.

'If Trump said it, the mainstream media reject it' | Sky News AustraliaWhile Fox News is “generally full of the faithful” supporters of Donald Trump, it is difficult for the President to cut through the noise and hate spewed out by mainstream media, according to Sky News contributor Daisy Cousens.\n\nWhen President Trump tweeted Antifa was responsible for some of the violence at Black Lives Matter protests, his words met with outright denial from the media and the Democrats who instead held white supremacists culpable for the escalating conflict, she told Sky News host Gary Hardgrave.\n\nMeanwhile, Ms Cousens said “Antifa was not only tagging themselves at the scenes of these riots and admitting it all over Twitter, but there were videos coming out of people running in Antifa uniforms running around … and punching people”.\n\n“Because Trump had said it, the media had to suddenly go against it”.\n\n“It was so exposing,” she said. \n\nImage: AP
