Has anybody traced this back to an actual post by Trump?

As a rule, I try and verify the provenance of stuff like this to sidestep MAGA whingeing about fakery.

So far, I can't trace it back further than the delightful Instagram collage Rosie O'Donnel posted to PO Trumpelthinskin.

Sounds somewhat reminiscent of the Chowchilla school bus kidnapping in 1976.

In the summer of 1976, a school bus full of kids were kidnapped on the way back from a swim outing. They were moved from the bus and driven to a rock quarry, where they were buried alive in the two vans carrying them.
