Speaking at a rally in Florida Thursday night, Donald Trump repeatedly said it was Friday. As both the attendant crowd and multiple reporters at the scene noted, it was not.



Trump: "Is there any place to be that’s better than a Friday night in Florida at a Trump rally?"



Fact check: it is Thursday. — Marina Fang (@marinafang) August 11, 2016

Trump just said it's Friday night for the second time this rally. Is it Friday? It's been a long week and I'm asking seriously. — Sopan Deb (@SopanDeb) August 11, 2016

Trump says Friday night again. (It's Thursday.) Crowd yells to correct him. Trump does not hear. — Sam Sanders (@samsanders) August 11, 2016

Trump: "It’s Friday night were having fun."



Crowd shouts: "Its Thursday!"



Trump seems to think they’re just cheering. Gives thumbs up — Nick Corasaniti (@NYTnickc) August 11, 2016

In the past, Trump has treated reality as a minor inconvenience that can be negated by sheer force of will. This time, at least, we wish him the best of luck.
