In case you didn’t think the small-handed bigot could get any worse, well…you’d be very wrong.

He decided he wanted to “just talk for a second” about the events of 9/11 and the “greatest people [he] had ever seen in action.”

But he got a little mixed up it would seem.

The full quote reads:

“What I wanna do, is just talk for a second… I wrote this out and it’s very close to my heart and I was down there and I watch 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.”

Yep.

You read that right. 7/11.

The Twin Towers were attacked on September 11th 2001, which resulted in 3,000 people losing their lives. This is exactly what Trump should have said, but did he correct himself?

Nah.

Did he keep going?

Yeah.

For goodness sake.

Cue the gif.

  • Food Food Review: Las Iguanas, Newcastle
    4/5 If you love a good theme, Las Iguanas is a restaurant you might like to try. The Latin American-style chain has restaurants all over the country, but I recently popped into the one on Grey Street just down from the Theatre Royal. As always, the restaurant itself is pristine and the atmosphere is super […]

  • Books Book Review: 1984 by George Orwell
    1/5 1984 is always cited as one of the best books ever written. It’s supposed to be intelligent, sharp and profound. Instead, I found it to be dull, rambling and unremarkable. Oh, and rampantly sexist. George Orwell was clever – I’ve read his essays and I like them. But 1984? It was hard to believe […]
