Donald Trump said Monday in Japan that America has 'a lot of mental health problems,' responding to a mass-shooting massacre in Texas that claimed at least 26 lives.
And he asked: 'Who would ever think a thing like this could happen?'
A similar church massacre struck a Charleston, South Carolina church in 2015, just a day after Trump launched his White House bid. Nine people died in that attack.
'The tragedy in South Carolina is incomprehensible,' he tweeted at the time.
On Monday he parried a question about gun control during a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, saying that based on preliminary reports the Texas assailant, Devin Patrick Kelley, was a 'very deranged individual' who had 'a lot of problems over a long period of time.'
'We have a lot of mental health problems in our country, as do other countries. But this isn't a "guns" situation,' he said.
Just last week he tweeted that a jihadi's terror attack in New York City was carried out 'by a very sick and deranged person.' Sayfullo Saipov is charged with plowing into cyclists and pedestrians in a rented pickup truck, killing eight.
The president has called for him to be convicted and sentenced to death.
