According to the Riverside County Sheriff's Office, the man was carrying a rifle, a loaded pistol and a large magazine. The suspect was arrested on charges of illegal possession of a firearm and was later released on bail.
"This incident had no impact on the safety of former President Trump or the attendees of the event," a sheriff's statement said.
On July 13, Trump was assassinated during a campaign appearance in the small town of Butler in the US state of Pennsylvania. The gunman, who was later shot dead by the Secret Service, narrowly missed the 78-year-old Republican. Trump was injured in the ear.
Another incident occurred in mid-September when a man with a rifle hid in the bushes on the edge of Trump's golf course. The 58-year-old was arrested and charged with the attempted murder of a presidential candidate.
