Salma Hayek has ridiculed Donald Trump’s most recent blunder in an acerbic tweet also mocking his immigration policy.

Appearing at a rally in Buffalo, New York on Monday, the GOP frontrunner referred to the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre as 7/11 - a popular convenience store in the US.

“I wrote this out, and it’s very close to my heart because I was down there and I watched our police and our firemen down at 7/11, down at the World Trade Centre right after it came down. And I saw the greatest people I’ve ever seen in action,” he said.

While Trump may have continued his speech without correcting himself, various news outlets and people made sure he wasn’t going to forget this awkward mix-up in a hurry.

Cue Hayek, who responded with this tweet:

Her tweet follows a number of disparaging remarks the real-estate mogul has made about Mexico, his most infamous being the giant wall he pledged to erect at the border to Mexico should he get elected.
