Salma Hayek Mocks Donald Trump's 9/11 Flub

Donald Trump was giving it his all during a final rally in New York Monday, but in the midst of his speech he made a flub.

In a video obtained by CNN, the GOP candidate accidentally refers to 9/11 as the convenience store 7-Eleven, probably best known for its Slurpees.

"I wrote this out, and it's very close to my heart because I was down there and I watched our police and our firemen down at 7/11, down at the World Trade Center

right after it came down," he said. "And I saw the greatest people I've ever seen in action."

The Republican frontrunner either didn't realize his snafu or decided to keep powering through, but he kept on going with his speech without hesitating for a second. Actress Salma Hayek, however, decided to let him know Tuesday that she didn't miss his faux pas.

"I am a dyslexic Mexican and English is my second language, however even I do not confuse 7/11 with 9/11. #DonaldTrump," she tweeted.

His blunder came one day before the New York primary, but Trump is still projected to do well because it's his home state.

Last summer the Mexican actress opened up to E! News' Marc Malkin about the presidential hopeful, telling him that she wouldn't "say his name" because she didn't want to give him "extra publicity."

She also addressed his now-famous comments about Mexican immigrants. "I'm aware that he would say anything to attract attention and create the publicity around him," the Fools Rush In star said. "If something generates publicity, I would never be surprised about anything he does."

While Hayek was quick to criticize Trump, she did thank him for raising awareness around immigration. "At least he brought a light to a real problem," she said.

Watch the video above to hear Trump mistake 9/11 for 7-Eleven.

I am sure she jumped all over Obama for his ‘57 states’ flub.

Man, this forum is slipping. I was hoping for a ‘not guilty’ picture.

Selma didn’t have much to say about Obama’s “my muslim faith” statement.

It’s a cute game, and I remember Cruz made the same type of flub once last fall. People chuckle, and is forgotten by anybody who isn’t just looking for a gotcha.

That should rent free space in Donald’s head. He’ll probably spend the rest of the month tweeting and raging at her.

Salma just earned herself a month’s worth of hostile fire.

>>>refers to 9/11 as the convenience store 7-Eleven<<<

Funny, I thought 7/11 was a date on the Calendar, just like 9/Eleven. LOL

Did it involve “siete once”?

Trump just found out that the Saudis funded the 7/11 attack on London, so the slip was a natural conflation of the dates of the TWO Saudi attacks on Anglo-Saxon civilization.

Baloney! Anyone and EVERYONE who has done any public speaking has had a flub. EVEN actors and actresses who have no other thing to do often don’t get their lines right. This is a completely WORTHLESS thread!
