- President Donald Trump tweeted that the "Fake News Media" is only focusing on COVID-19 one day after he was discharged from the hospital where he was treated for complications from the deadly virus, which he still has.
- "The Fake News Media refuses to discuss how good the Economy and Stock Market, including JOBS under the Trump Administration, are doing," Trump tweeted. "We will soon be in RECORD TERRITORY. All they want to discuss is COVID 19, where they won’t say it, but we beat the Dems all day long, also!!!"
- Trump's desire to focus on the economy — specifically how good it was before the pandemic — has been undermined by his COVID-19 diagnosis and the outbreak among his staff in the White House.
President Donald Trump offered another edition of media criticism Tuesday, tweeting his dismay over the amount of COVID-19 coverage following his discharge from the hospital where he was treated for complications from the deadly disease.
"The Fake News Media refuses to discuss how good the Economy and Stock Market, including JOBS under the Trump Administration, are doing," the president tweeted. "We will soon be in RECORD TERRITORY. All they want to discuss is COVID 19, where they won't say it, but we beat the Dems all day long, also!!!"
Trump's tweet is part of a larger pattern that has become a fixture with his reelection campaign.
Consistently receiving low marks on his handling of the virus, Trump has tried to refocus the race on the economy or the Supreme Court.
Yet his hospitalization with COVID-19 severely undermines those efforts, with questions still looming over the severity of his case and his ability to execute his duties.
Trump's doctor released a statement Tuesday that the president "reports no symptoms," marking another example of bizarre wording from White House medical professionals indicating Trump's desire to control the narrative of his illness instead of being transparent with the American public.
Data site FiveThirtyEight's polling average on approval of Trump's pandemic response has more than 56% disapproving.
As for the economy, Trump is facing one of the highest unemployment rates heading into reelection in modern American presidential history.
On that front, Trump actually is in what could be considered "record territory."
