A man who jumped over the White House fence told police he was on a mission from God to slap Donald Trump and make him ‘make him cry like a b***h’.
Alexander Thomas Miner, 29, was filmed standing on a concrete barrier with a sign on it reading ‘Restricted Area, Do Not Enter’ after making it over an initial security fence.
The area separates E Street from the Ellipse on the south side of the White House complex and in video Miner of Danville, California can be seen with his hands out wide.
According to charging documents, Miner walked toward the south fence of the White House with his hands in the air shouting, ‘Shoot me, shoot me!’, NBC4 reported.
Miner, whose father said he was an ex-Marine, told police before he jumped the fence, someone told him they didn’t believe in God and were doing fine.
He responded by saying, ‘Do you want to see if God is real?’ according to charges.
Miner told police God was furious and the President is the Antichrist who was harassing him with campaign emails, while Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were child molesters.
Miner waived his right to silence and told police he was on a mission from God and received communication from the birds and the sky.
Had he not been stopped, he planned to make it to the Oval Office where he wanted to slap or punch the president and ‘make him cry like a b***h’

Secret Service agents moved in to detain Miner, a former Marine said by his father to have mental health problems
He said he did not want to be shot by officers and told investigators he while did not want to kill Trump said the president ‘needs to die’.
Miner was apprehended by Secret Service officers who yelled ‘stop’ and ‘get on the ground’ and took him into custody. D.C. police found no weapons or contraband in the backpack he was carrying.
The incident was captured on video witness Jim Tripp, a tourist from Washington state.
‘We were just here taking pictures in front of the White House with tons of other people, and some guy came at me kind of from my blind spot and just very calmly walked up and looked and me and said, ‘Hey, do you want to see if God’s real?’ and he threw a backpack down at my feet in front of me,’ he said.
The Secret Service reached Miner’s father in California, who said he filed a missing person report for Miner about three weeks ago.
His father told investigators his son might be paranoid schizophrenic and described his son as heavily trained, tech savvy and dangerous, according to NBC4.
Miner is charged with a federal offense of entering and remaining on restricted grounds and a D.C. offense of attempted burglary.
He is scheduled to appear in U.S. District court for the District of Columbia on Wednesday afternoon.
