Rather, the 49-year-old dual US-Canadian citizen, who was arrested Saturday with a loaded handgun, shotgun, and a high-capacity magazine in the parking area of a Trump rally in Coachella, California, is “but an artist,” he told The Independent.

Miller, a onetime journalist who has worked as a music video director and now runs a website called the America Happens Network — which features conspiracy-minded videos about 9/11 being “an inside job” and the “so-called” Covid-19 pandemic — said he “was certainly not there to cause any harm to anybody.”

At a news conference on Sunday, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco called Miller a “lunatic” with “fringe” views, and claimed his arrest may have headed off a third assassination attempt.

‘Would anyone else like to faint? Please raise your hand’

An extended musical break and some patter from Trump as the medics handle the situation.

”Sir, she’s on her feet and walking out,” Kristi Noem tells the former president, referring to the second person who fainted. “Let’s encourage her,” Trump tells the crowd. “Let her know well be praying for her.”

He says both people are in “good shape”, before joking: “Would anybody else prefer to faint? Please elevate your hand.”

Then he asks the city corridor workers to placed on Pavarotti’s model of Ave Maria, lamenting that the earlier model performed had no vocals.

At one level, a bar chart exhibiting border crossings on the US-Mexico frontier seems on the projector. It’s a well-known prop: Trump has claimed that turning his head to have a look at the chart throughout the assassination try again in July “probably saved my life”, and that he loves it “more than I even love the police”.

“There it’s! That’s my favorite piece of paper anyplace on the planet. I sleep with it each night time. I kiss it, I kiss it.”

Then the town hall resumes. But within a minute or two, people start pointing over to the other side of the venue, shouting “Medic! Medic!” Looks like someone else needs help. Ave Maria begins again.
