The 'Donald Trump 7-Eleven Gaffe' refers to a famous verbal slip-up made by Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Buffalo, New York, on April 18, 2016. While attempting to pay tribute to the bravery of first responders during the September 11th attacks, Trump mistakenly referred to the date as '7-Eleven,' the name of the international convenience store chain. The moment quickly went viral across social media, with users poking fun at the awkward juxtaposition of a national tragedy and a place to buy a Slurpee. Today, the meme is frequently used to highlight political misspeaking or any situation where someone accidentally replaces a serious topic with a mundane, commercial one.
