Another person, this one named Vem Miller of Las Vegas, has tried to kill President Trump. The incident happened the other day at a rally in Coachella, Calif.
Miller, 49, is the third wannabe Trump assassin this year to try to off the former president before he has the chance to win a second White House term. However, according to Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, Miller is different than the others in that he is “all in” for Trump.
When he was arrested at a checkpoint outside the rally venue, Miller was carrying an illegally owned shotgun, a loaded handgun and a high-capacity magazine. This led the local sheriff’s office to speculate that officers had “probably stopped another assassination attempt” on Trump.
After being charged with illegal firearms possession and released on $5,000 bail with a court hearing pending in January, Miller participated in an interview with Fox News in which he contradicted the claims made by Sheriff Bianco.
“I always travel around with my firearms in the back of my truck,” Miller said, adding that all of his weapons are owned legally and he does not have any fake IDs in his possession like state officials are claiming.

Miller’s explanation as to why he owns firearms is that he claims he received death threats in connection with his media work, though he never actually learned how to use a gun.
“I’ve literally never even shot a gun in my life,” Miller said. “I don’t know anything about guns. I am beyond a novice.”
Miller, who is Armenian, admitted that there was some confusion with law enforcement concerning his papers because he goes by different names on different documents. The reason for this, he says, is that being Armenian can cause a person to get killed in some parts of the world.
Miller also denied that he is a “sovereign citizen,” a term used to describe people who essentially “opt out” of the government jurisdiction over their lives. Miller called the idea of a sovereign citizen “nonsensical” during his Fox interview.
While at one time a supporter of Barack Obama, Miller has since switched from being a Democrat and now identifies as a Republican who is “100 percent a Trump supporter.” Miller claims he has been “all in” for Trump since 2018.
The Trump campaign is skeptical that Miller ever intended to shoot Trump or harm him in any way, which makes the situation even stranger.
Trump political consultant Roger Stone says that Miller is being falsely accused of planning to assassinate the former president and that he never actually made any threats against Trump.
“The firearms in his possession were legally owned and were locked in the trunk of his car,” a commenter wrote, citing Stone. “His license plates were neither fake nor expired. He had no fake passports and his pass to the Trump rally was legitimate. He was in fact an invitee.”
“He faces no federal charges and was not even questioned by the Secret Service or the FBI. His license plates were valid, and he is not a member of the sovereign citizens movement. He’s a strong Trump supporter. The Riverside County Sheriff making accusations against him will face a multi million dollar lawsuit.”
Another commenter accused the Trump campaign of staging another “hijink” with the Vem Miller story.
“If an assassination attempt were real, it wouldn’t be advertised,” this person expressed.
