Where does the “Donald Trump's 7-Eleven Gaffe” meme come from?
The incident occurred on Monday, April 18, 2016, at the First Niagara Center in Buffalo, New York. Donald Trump was holding a campaign speech before the local primary. While discussing New York values, he stated he saw first responders “at 7/11,” confusing the attack date with the brand name. The rally footage was picked up by CNN and Reuters, then widely distributed on YouTube. The next day, Vic Berger IV created a parody for Super Deluxe on Vine titled “Trump honors the memory of 7-Eleven.” This video surpassed 335,000 loops, cementing the gaffe in internet culture as a symbol of verbal mishap.
