that all the commentators, pundits, etc. should include Stephen Miller directing Trump to do all this. Trump doesn't like to have credit given to anyone else so it should be something like "is Stephen Miller behind Trump doing xyz. Is Stephen Miller giving orders to Trump." It would drive Trump even crazier than he already is...

Of course it's possible that these were military airplanes, and even that Fatso ordered them. But that would be stupidly obvious even for him, since the disruption was of such short duration as to be pointless.

Commercial jets don't fly directly over the Capitol. Military jets can though, although they ususally don't, unless they're specifically ordered to:

Military flyover scheduled over White House Wednesday

* Military flyover set for 11 a.m. over White House.
* Aircraft details not yet released.
* Last flyover featured Air Force jets on July 4.

WASHINGTON - A U.S. military flyover is expected above the White House on Wednesday morning, according to D.C. officials. The event is scheduled for 11 a.m., though details about which aircraft will be involved have not been released.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/military-flyover-scheduled-over-white-house-wednesday/ar-AA1LNtN1

That was the noise interrupting the press conference.

The victims were not given priority, or respect by doing that flyover at the exact time that they were answering questions from the press.

This was a planned and timed disruption. It was disrespectful and dismissive of the victims.
