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.
Maybe not, putting lots of silicone in your brain won't make you smarter
Did she criticize 0bammy for saying “57 states”?
Yes, acting out other peoples words and thoughts, from a script.
Yes, she's looker, but I rember when she started "aging", in Hollywood years - approaching 40, she complained about the lack of roles.
Now there is a third reason to like her.
Props to both Cruz & Trump for no teleprompters.
Who cares what she says her, she is not guilty
If this is the worst “blunder” Trump makes, I’ll be thrilled.
She is so intelligent.
I have to vote my conscience: “not guilty.”
Thanks for posting the compilation. Here’s another item:
Obama Mistakenly Refers to Hawaii as ‘Asia’ During Summit

Yeah, it's really hard to keep terror attack dates straight when pretty much every day of the year has a red letter date terror attack tied to it.
In her world hostile fire equals publicity.
Me too. She can mock anyone she wants, as long as she shows some skin while she does it.
For someone who has been living in the US for 30 years, she sure seems to be a study in failed assimilation.
“Didnt she marry some a -rab gazillionaire?”
She married some rich guy with a French name and had a kid with him, so her future is secure. Maybe not so dumb after all.
Did Salma notice Hillary Clinton’s “flub” when she told the bald faced lie that Chelsea was down by the World Trade Center on 9/11/01?
That’s OK your boobs are totally awesome, Salma. Primo!
I knew I saw it somewhere! ;^)
Sorry to tell you, but yes she did. I won’t post the link, but google “Salma Hayek porn” and watch the search engine fill up. She was a freak.
