Trumped up

Donald Trump made an unfortunate slip-of-the-tongue while campaigning in Buffalo, New York, on Monday evening at his final rally before Tuesday’s big-prize primary.

Trump was about to deliver prepared remarks lauding New York values when he mistakenly mentioned the name of a popular convenience store chain in place of 9/11.

“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 Center right after it came down, and I saw the greatest people I’ve ever seen in action,” Trump told the crowd.

Donald Trump's national field director Stuart Jolly resigned on Monday amid major changes to the campaign's top leadership. Jolly is a longtime friend of Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, and the two previously worked together at Americans for Prosperity, an advocacy group that gets much of its funding from David and Charles Koch. Jolly said that part of the reason he joined the campaign was to help Lewandowski.

Lewandowski has seen his role in the campaign lessened.

TRUMP CLAIMS HE HELPED CLEAR RUBBLE FROM THE TWIN TOWERS​

"Everyone who helped clear the rubble, and I was there, and I watched, and I helped a little bit, but I want to tell you, those people were amazing," Trump said. "Clearing the rubble. Trying to find additional lives. You didn't know what was going to come down on all of us, and they handled it."

Republican front-runner Donald Trump may be in hot water with the Federal Aviation Administration for reportedly flying to campaign stops on an expired airplane registration.

The 1997 Cessna 750 Citation X, which seats eight people, has been used on hundreds of flights since Trump announced he would seek the Republican nomination in June 2015, according to the FAA.

Dozens of those flights, however, were made after Jan. 31 – the day his $5 registration expired.

Trump’s Cessna flew as recently as Monday, when it was used to transport the candidate between La Guardia Airport in Queens and Buffalo, N.Y., for a campaign event.

Three days earlier, it was used to fly to Plattsburgh, N.Y., and to Hartford for political rallies, according to radio transmissions broadcast by the plane that were archived on a flight data website.

Records show the FAA warned Trump the Cessna’s registration was about to expire.

On Dec. 1, DJT Operations CX LLC, the limited liability company owned by Trump that operates the Cessna, was issued a “final notice” the registration was about to expire.

Three months later on March 1, DJT Operations CX was sent another notice that the registration had expired.
