Trump Mixes up 9/11 with 7/11

     Donald Trump discussed his experience in New York City after the 9/11 attacks but then accidentally referred to it on Monday as 7/11 -- the convenience store. On Monday evening Trump opened his speech with, "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." The worst part is, he didn't even correct himself. Even if you made a mistake like that, its logical to correct yourself. But then again, he probably didn't even notice his mistake. This article has to do with APUSH because since our 2016 election is coming up, we all need to be aware of what the candidates are saying. This should hint to you who you should NOT vote for.

  4. Trump makes his following on pandering and shock value. Without those things he really has no substance. People won't ridicule him too badly for this mistake, because they are blinded and want to believe that he is the right choice.

  5. People are now arguing that he was referring to a fire station with it's number being 711, but even if this were the case why would the firefighters be at their station instead of at the world trade center.
