Donald Trump tweeted his condolences to a different mass shooting on Tuesday after a gunman killed at least four people in California. Instead, his thoughts lay again with the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas.

“May God be with the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas. The FBI and Law Enforcement has arrived,” he tweeted, after returning from a 12-day trip in Asia.

People were confused as to why Trump's tweet came nine days after the shooting in Texas, but as it turns out, the President already addressed Sutherland Springs.

The horrific Texas shooting, which left 26 people dead, happened inside the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, on November 5. Trump cited mental illness as the reason for the fatal attack, not the issue of gun ownership.

“I think that mental health is a problem here. Based on preliminary reports, this was a very deranged individual with a lot of problems over a very long period of time,” he said at a press conference while he was in Japan.

“May God be w/ the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas. The FBI & law enforcement are on the scene. I am monitoring the situation from Japan,” Trump tweeted then.

Trump meant to address the violent assault that took place in California, but it seems a copy and paste error resulted in the confusion. Tuesday's tweet has since been removed from Trump's Twitter account approximately eight hours after initial posting.

The California tragedy on Tuesday happened in the town of Rancho Tehama Reserve, where 44-year-old Kevin Janson Neal went on a shooting rampage injuring at least ten people after killing his wife and concealing her body underneath their home the previous night. Tehama County Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston said, "We believe that's probably what started this whole event."

The discovery of the wife's body brought the death toll to six, including Neal, himself.

Trump's gaffe mixing up the two mass shootings was seen as inexcusable on the Internet.

As of Wednesday, Trump has not yet commented on California's tragic incident. A White House spokesperson has not responded to emails asking for an explanation as to why the president confused the two mass sthootings.

After President Donald Trump lashed out at late-night host Seth Meyers on Truth Social over the weekend and called him a "truly deranged lunatic," Meyers responded to Trump’s “ranting and raving” about him with a damning supercut on his program.

Trump apparently tuned in to Thursday night’s episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, where Meyers poked fun at the president’s complaints about Navy aircraft carriers using electromagnetic catapults instead of traditional steam-powered ones. Meyers joked that Trump "spends more time thinking about catapults than Wile E. Coyote."

Girl's Hilarious Reaction To Getting Divisive Candy For Halloween Caught On Doorbell Cam

In the '80s and '90s, kids were raised with the understanding that they got what they got, and they should say, "Thank you," for what they received. This was true for birthdays, holidays, and trick-or-treating on Halloween, even if they got candy they wanted to throw away the instant they turned the corner.

But kids today are much more communicative about what they like and don't like, and they can be brutal in their bluntness.

Speaking on The View, Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke about sparring with House Speaker Mike Johnson over healthcare—and revealed that the GOP does not have any replacement for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) despite what Johnson and her fellow congressional conservatives tell the public.

Democrats have continued to reject Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to keep the government open without considering an extension of the premium tax credit that helps subsidize health insurance for people earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.
