Donald Trump made a splash by rallying in New Jersey, a state where some polls show he doesn't have a shot, but social media users were more focused on the former president's slip-up on China.
One of the first things Trump said at his rally in the Garden State went viral online. He thanked someone in the crowd, a former football player and Trump "golfing friend," named O.J. While Trump was roundly mocked, some said Trump was referring to someone other than the late accused murderer O.J. Simpson.
The next thing that caught attention online was Trump's reference to China.

"Take a look at Xi, president Xi of China, talking about Beijing. Now they've got ships circling, they have planes, but they never were doing anything," Trump said at his Saturday rally. He was likely intending to say "Taiwan."
A Biden-Harris campaign account said a "confused Trump" was claiming that "Chinese president Xi Jinping has 'ships circling' Beijing." The account noted that "Beijing is the landlocked capital of China."
Republican Voters Against Trump, @AccountableGOP, echoed those sentiments.
"Beijing is landlocked," the group of conservatives said in response on Saturday. "And also part of China."
@Acyn also added, "Whoops, Trump warns that President Xi has been talking about Beijing."
A conservative going by the name @jso_patriot had this to say after seeing the rally footage:
"Trump mistakes Beijing for Taiwan and you want me to vote for him," he said.
