Watch: Donald Trump’s MAJOR 9/11 blunder is making headlines

Unless you've been living under a rock in recent months, you'll know American businessman, Donald Trump, is currently hoping to become the next President of the United States.

And how better to communicate your love for America and its people than to pay tribute to the countless individuals who helped during one of the country's darkest days?

Addressing crowds in Buffalo, the New York-native reflected on 9/11, but unfortunately referred to the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Centre as 7- Eleven – the country's world-famous chain of convenience stores.

"I wrote this out, and it's very close to my heart," he said. "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."
