When Salma Hayek speaks, does anyone listen?

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.
She started off in hard core porn. Now she is a serious voice. lol
Perhaps, but now she’s just another worn out, ridden hard and hung up wet former starlet. Who give’s a rat’s rear-end about what she says, thinks or does? Not me.
Other than that, she's a lefty with a fairly average face. At any college in America you'll encounter dozens of better looking girls every day.
ROFL that’s what I was thinking.

When Salma Hayek speaks, does anyone listen?
Maybe she confused Mexico with the United States when she first came to this country!
Salma Hayek was an undocumented immigrant, but for most Mexicans there is no Hollywood ending.
“Corpse men” - Obama. Trump’s was misspeaking. Obama’s is ignorance.
YAWN
Wow! She has brown eyes! I had never noticed that.
Didn’t Salma marry a billionaire from Europe? Maybe she’s just jealous that Trump was taken.
July 7, 2005.
Didn’t she marry some a -rab gazillionaire?
Salma was an illegal alien with a great ass.
This is one of the ways Trump constantly controls the narrative in the campaign. Instead of saying let’s make this vote about 9/11, he calls it 7/11 and the press makes the vote about 9/11 by bringing it up over and over.
Claiming that thousands of muslims were dancing in the streets reminded everybody who was responsible for 9/11.
No she didn't.
She’s from Mexico and was on a daily Soap Opera.
No, she did not start off in hard core porn. but I can see why you imagined that! :)
Potato, potatoe, 57 states, blah, blah, blah, enough of this crap. Its been over worked, only the cretin voters would be upset over it at this point. Forgive me but, when you have a lot on your mind, stuff like this pops up every now and then, everyone does it. The dudes on DU are probably having orgasms over it.
Obama’s Top Ten Gaffes:
1. How many states? Vice President Dan Quayle was virtually laughed out of Washington for misspelling potato back in 1992, yet Barack Obama made a more elementary flub when, during the 2008 campaign, he said: “I’ve now been in 57 states-I think one left to go.”
2. Hero soldier mix-up: While commending troops at Fort Drum, N.Y., for their completed deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, President Obama said, “A comrade of yours, Jared Monti, was the first person who I was able to award the Medal of Honor to who actually came back and wasn’t receiving it posthumously.” Wrong hero. Sgt. 1st Class Jared Monti was killed in action, another soldier, Staff Sgt. Sal Giunta, was the first living recipient of the Medal of Honor that fought in Afghanistan.
3. What year is it? During a trip to London’s Westminster Abbey, President Obama signed the guest book and dated it 24 May 2008. Oops. It was 2011. (Maybe he was wistfully dreaming about his 2008 election campaign at the time.)
4. Look at the map: Not only does Obama not know how many states there are, he also doesn’t know where they are. During the 2008 primary campaign, he explained why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky: “Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.” Obama’s home state of Illinois, and not Arkansas, shares a border with Kentucky.
5. What language is that? In April 2009, on one of his many foreign trips, President Obama mused, “I don’t know what the term is in Austrian” for “wheeling and dealing.” Oops, Mr. President. There is no Austrian language.
6. Twister casualties: After a devastating tornado hit Kansas, Obama discussed the tragedy without help from a teleprompter, saying, ”In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died-an entire town destroyed.” He was only off by 9,988 as the twister killed 12 people.
7. How old is Malia? The President last month thought he was so clever, unfavorably comparing Republican procrastination on the debt limit to his daughters finishing their homework early. In his remarks, Obama made a reference to daughter Malia, saying she was 13 years old, when at the time she was 12. Imagine the press reaction if Michele Bachmann made a misstatement about any of her five children or 23 foster kids.
8. Special Olympics insensitivity: The President called and apologized to the head of the Special Olympics, after making this insensitive comment following a game of bowling: “No, no. I have been practicing. … I bowled a 129. It’s like-it was like Special Olympics, or something.” Maybe he should have also apologized to bowlers for his feeble effort.
9. Faith confusion: No wonder so many Americans are unsure of the President’s faith, as he seems to be confused himself. During the 2008 campaign, during an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Obama said, “What I was suggesting-you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith,” before Stephanopoulos jumped in to help, saying ”your Christian faith.”
10. Health care inefficiencies: During the health care debate, President Obama explained all the benefits of ObamaCare, saying, “The reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice, savings and inefficiencies to our health care system.” Mr. President, we already have enough inefficiency in health care and, yes, your “reforms” will only make it worse.
