Donald Trump mistakenly refers to 9/11 as 7/11 in speech gaffe during Buffalo rally
NY Daily News ^ | 4/19/16 | Alfred Ng

7/11, 9/11, it’s all the same to Donald Trump.

The billionaire — who never visited the Sept. 11 Memorial & Museum in lower Manhattan until months after his campaign kicked off —seemed to have briefly forgotten the date the terrorist attack happened.

“I wrote this out, and it’s very close to my heart,” he said at the First Niagara Center on Monday night during the rally. “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. And I saw the greatest people I’ve ever seen in action.”

Well, at least Trump voters have a mind. It’s more than can be said about Cruzbots.

Cruz types are the ones who act as if their guy is anointed by God and those that don't agree should suffer the inquisition. To me the Cruz types are the humorless ones while Trump supporters seem to be happy warriors.

Exactly.

Wait a second - this “7-11 gaffe” is sure to be the end of Trump’s campaign.

It gets worse...: 9/11 was WORSE than Pearl Harbor because ‘GREAT people’ were killed, Trump.

That was good, and I remember also Coulters book on how to talk to liberals if you must, but I threw all her books in the garbage. Did you see this

So much concern for Veterans, shocking there were no great people who died in Pearl, but we’ve been educated now.

Here's a little mnemonic that could help him avoid this Gaffe:

7/11 = Hindus

9/11 = Muslims

"paranoia"?

WTF is wrong with you? You obviously don't even know the meaning of the word, nor how to apply it.

As for whether it was the Daily News or any other publication that published this non-story, trying to make it a 'story', is irrelevant, what IS relevant is that your fellow Cruzer-Luzer damn near fell over themselves to post it.

Keep your local crisis line phone number handy tonight, you're gonna need it.

I’m no Trump fan, but who cares. Can anybody speak off the cuff like Trump and never make a mistake?

“down at 7/11”

He said “at”, not “on”. Maybe he said what he meant.

In other news every American that spoke more than two words today, use the wrong word, mis-pronounced a word, or otherwise said something they didn’t mean to say. The result of these actions? The world moved on.

"But, he said he actually had it “written down”. Teleprompter or notes"

Oh, Tedlim. He had notes. Here's what he said. You won't like it, so I know it's good...

"We are being ripped off worldwide by every single country that we do business with ... we’re bringing our jobs back here ... I watch our police and fireman ... I saw the bravest people ever ... that’s what NY values are about .. so I want to talk about NY values that we know so well ... we love this state, we know it’s going to come back ... NY a symbol of American strength to the world. ... NYPD and FDNY ... New York Transit workers ... families that go to our parks ... What are NY values? honesty and straight talk ... our work ethic ... our energy to get things done ... we’re builders , we make things, we have courage, we have community ..."

"Fr. Michael Judge who died providing comfort and prayer ... he really displayed NY values ... and he knew what was coming very, very soon ... the people in the Towers who helped each other, the restaurants and shops who stayed open to help first responders ... Everybody who helped clear the rubble - those people were amazing ... every small act of kindness, every great act of courage, those are NY values ..."

Good grief, that is along the same lines as spelling potato wrong. Who freaking cares. As many speeches as he and Cruz are making they are bound to misspeak many times.

He then went on to say 9/11 numerous times later in the same Speech.

As soon as I heard the Gaffe, I was wondering how quickly someone would be grilling a Nothingburger.

I think you and I are on board with the fact that this is a non story. In fact, I’ve made the same mistake once or twice of saying 7/11 verses 9/11
