    Folks, what even is property? People ask me this all the time, beautiful women - like you wouldn't believe - and huge, strong, handsome men come up to me all the time, and they say, "Mr. President, you're doing an incredible job" - their words, not mine - "at dismantling unjust hierarchy, the best we've ever seen. But we're scared, we don't understand. What is property, Mr. Trump, Mr. President?" they ask me.

    Good question. Goooooood question. Anybody out there know?

    [From the crowd: "THEFT!"]

    I'm sorry, what's that? I couldn't quite hear you.

    Ooh, that's right, it's theft, isn't it? Property is theft, folks, it's theft, it's terrible, terrible theft. Think of how much property there is! The whole of the world, privatized - folks, that means the whole world is stolen. Ouch! But don't worry, don't worry. I'll fix it, won't I? You know you can count on me to abolish the state, the church, the propertied classes.
