President Donald Trump is visiting Louisiana and Texas to inspect damage from Hurricane Laura.
Travelling on Air Force One, the president took to Twitter to rage about the numerous books published by former officials and his niece, Mary Trump, that cast him in an unflattering light.
He also railed against claims the Democratic National Convention got higher TV ratings then the Republican equivalent.
Mr Trump's outbursts came amid the continuing coronavirus crisis in the US, which has now seen more than six million confirmed cases - far more than any other country worldwide.
