President Donald Trump named the wrong Ohio city in a Monday speech about two mass shootings over the weekend — and the Democratic mayor of Dayton, which lost at least nine people to gunfire in one of the massacres, called him out. Trump’s remarks came in response to the two deadly mass shootings that occurred over the weekend in Dayton and in El Paso, Texas. But the president incorrectly identified Dayton as another Ohio city: Toledo, which is about 150 miles away. “I’ve heard that he’s coming Wednesday, but I have not gotten a call,” Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley told reporters in response to reports that Trump may visit the communities affected by the shootings. “And you know, he might be going to Toledo. I don’t know,” Whaley added.

Trump’s incorrect reference came at the very end of his official remarks. The president appeared to be reading from a teleprompter during the rest of the address, but a tweet from a Reuters reporter appears to show Trump going off-script at the time of the mistake. “May God bless the memory of those who perished in Toledo. May God protect them,” he said. “May God protect all of those from Texas to Ohio. May God bless the victims and their families.” Immediately after the president made the incorrect reference, presidential candidate Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) responded with a tweet that said, “Toledo. Fck me.” He later told CNN that Trump showed “diminished mental capacity to be able to lead.” The White House’s official transcript of the speech shows a strike through the words “in Toledo.”
