Trump Botches Address to Nation, Says 'Toledo' Instead of 'Dayton'
President Trump addressed the nation Monday morning about the shooting in El Paso and Dayton that left 29 dead over the weekend. Squinting at a teleprompter, Trump spoke in monotone about the need to “condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy,” while blaming video games and the internet for the mass shooting epidemic in the United States. His speech was mechanical and ineffectual. Mistaking Dayton for Toledo didn’t help, either.
“May God bless the memory of those who perished in Toledo,” the president said amid a series vigorous nasal inhalations. “May God protect them.”

Rolling Stone reached out to the White House seeking clarification on the error, but did not receive an immediate response.
Trump’s address also include several vague calls for action regarding mental health, which, along with video games and the internet, was one of the factors Trump blamed for the shootings. In doing so, he made a point to note explicitly that he does not believe guns are to blame. “Mental illness and hatred pulls the trigger, not the gun,” he said.

Sounds like he's snorting Adderall again.

aren't all those cities the same? 
although I shouldn't need to put this here.
Honestly, I know they are not, even though I've never lived or even visited any of them. But to a New Yorker, especially one as parochial (not to mention ignorant) as Trump, everything that is not New York City is an undifferentiated, meaningless blur.
