Donald Trump, who says some pretty silly things from time to time, has given New Yorkers a verbal gaffe to remember as they head to polling stations—right, about, now. Watch the clip of it below, from the Republican presidential hopeful’s rally in Buffalo, NY, Tuesday night.

And if you care about Internet memes, this might give you a chuckle. Or, leave it to Salma Hayek to tell it like it is:

I am a dyslexic Mexican and English is my second language, however even I do not confuse 7/11 with 9/11. #DonaldTrump
