4:49 am: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is promising another live chat with tech billionaire Elon Musk. “I think we will do another one,” Trump said at an event in the US capital, Washington, igniting the audience during the first conversation in mid-August. Trump had only words of praise for Musk – he was brilliant and a great genius, the 78-year-old said. “I’m a big fan of Elon.”

3:48 am: A man was defeated by security forces at a campaign event for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in the state of Pennsylvania in the United States. Videos showed the man entering the closed-off press area of ​​the event hall in John’s Town and climbing onto a platform where cameras had been installed. Finally the security forces pulled the man down again and led him out of the hall. The background to the incident and the man’s motivation were unclear.

It was unclear if the man was a Trump supporter or an opponent. Previously Trump – as usual in his speeches – had violently attacked the US media. He described the New York Times as “the enemy of the people” and spoke of the “fake news” media.

Since the assassination attempt on Trump a few weeks ago, there have been more security measures at his events. On July 13, a gunman shot Trump from a nearby roof at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Trump was wounded in the right ear by a bullet, and the perpetrator was shot dead by security forces shortly afterwards. One visitor died and two others were injured.
