So Trump is alone on this one, and I have a theory as to why: It never happened. Like 99 percent of the crap that comes out of Donald Trump&rsquo;s mouth (and Donald Trump&rsquo;s garbage Twitter feed!), it&rsquo;s just something he made up as he went along. Trump knows his followers love red meat almost as much as they love&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/video\/2015\/nov\/23\/black-lives-matter-protester-donald-trump-alabama-video\">attacking black<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rawstory.com\/2015\/10\/watch-trump-supporter-assaults-latino-protester-while-others-chant-usa-usa\/\">Latino people<\/a>&nbsp;(though not quite that much), so he throws it to them with regularity.

Muslim no-go zones, Benghazi, gun confiscations, FEMA concentration camps, yadda, yadda, yadda, the list goes on and on.
