Realising his mistake, Trump shared another tweet moments later, where he referred to Diwali as "the Hindu festival of light".

Trump was also pictured lighting a 'diya' at the Roosevelt Room in the White House. In his Diwali speech, Trump also shared his condolences for the victims of the California wildfire, which claimed the lives of 42 civilians, making it the deadliest wildfire in the state's history.
