Oops, did he really just say that? Trump has made a mistake, and it’s costing him. When people speak of 9/11 it comes with great sorrow, patriotism, anger, or solemnity. When people speak about 7/11 – you think Slurpee. When you mix up one for the other? Outrage.
From The Political Insider:
Wow!! LOL!! I’ve never heard ANYONE make that kind of mistake!
When people on social media caught on to the gaffe they mocked him mercilessly – here are some of the best ones I saw
Oh my gosh. Watching Trump's Buffalo rally. He just praised the NYC firefighters and police who lost their lives on "7/11". ?
