First we were forced to wonder whether or not self-proclaimed movie lover Tom Cruise had ever actually seena movie, now the American people are asking, "Has Donald Trump ever been to a grocery store?"

He explained his belief that people need a physical form of identification for just about everything in the country, including grocery shopping. (Reminder: That is simply not true.)
