Donald Trump yesterday claimed that the multiple opinion polls from the "disgusting" media, which have him way behind Hillary Clinton, were "phony".

"I believe we're actually winning," the Republican nominee told a crowd in Florida, showing no signs of softening his combative rhetoric. "It's a rigged system," he added.

"The media isn't just against me. They're against all of you," he later told supporters in St Augustine. "They're against what we represent."

He claimed that his campaign was "bigger than Brexit" and that his supporters' voices would be heard around the world.
