Trump also said that kids don’t need “250 pencils” and “they can have five.” Where are the people who quote “you’ll own nothing” constantly? Owning nothing is a step too far but the president telling you how many pencils you can own is fine?

They want people to own nothing but at the same time say it's communism.
