Donald Trump Has Fairfax County on the Brain
At a recent event in Fredericksburg, he mistakenly thought he was in Fairfax.
Fredericksburg is a solid hour south of Fairfax County, but Donald Trump was apparently a little confused when he took to the stage during a rally this weekend and called out the wrong town name.
"Thank you, everybody," Trump said. "So Fairfax, on Nov. 8, you've got to get out and vote."
The crowd continued to cheer, but the gaffe certainly didn't go unnoticed on Twitter:

Why did Trump say hello to Fairfax? He is in Fredericksburg.
Drs. believe it's either a stroke or a siezure.
