Well, not "utterly" disprovable.  Trump called for a "shutdown" of Muslims entering the country.

And that supports B-zona's insight into the emotional, non-logical appeal of Trump's argumentation.

Were you set to prove he said "shutdown" that one time and that's why "the ban" claim is "patently untrue"?

That Trump was mobilizing Islamophobic sentiment in his speeches is the point here. 

The re-writings that eventually removed constitutional objections to the letter of the ban as executive order fool few on either side of the aisle regarding its spirit/intent. This is a "pet issue" of millions of Americans who don't want politics and policies founded on scapegoating of minorities.
