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.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
