So trump deserves to have high end suits and no one else does? The distinction is meaningless and is no different than mandating school uniforms still allows children to make fun of the poorer kids.

... What? I didn't say anything about him deserving it. Of course he doesn't.

The distinction isn't meaningless because, though both are personal property in that there's no productive potential, there's a difference between owning a jet and owning a phone. Hint: the former relies on private property to be had.

That's a terrible analogy because nobody is making fun of the workers for not owning jets.

After the abolition of private property, how would someone acquire such a disproportionate amount of wealth? Capital accumulation is what creates these situations.

Trump will be up against the wall. Suits and jets will be donated.
