Donald Trump Accidentally Invokes '7-11' When Talking About '9-11'

On the eve of the New York primary, presidential candidate Donald Trump found it prudent to talk a little bit about the state he loves so much.

There is "nothing nicer than [the] U.S.A. I think what I want to do is I want to talk just for a second. I wrote this out and it’s very close to my heart,” the Republican front-runner said at an event here in Buffalo.

He began to invoke the attacks on the World Trade Center, describing the courage he saw there. There was just one small problem -- he mixed up the date.

"Because I was down there, and I watched our police and our firemen down on 7/11, down at the World Trade Center, right after it came down and I saw the greatest people I have ever seen in action," Trump said.

Or Ted Cruz for that matter. Or John Kasich. Or Paul Ryan. You get the idea.
