If qua-objects were genuinely distinct real objects, Trump would have numerically many selves, violating the mereological principle that coincident objects of the same kind are identical.

Qua-objects(Fine (1982)): In Fine's theory, entities formed by a basic object taken under a specific description, where the basic object qualifies as the only proper part of each incarnation (e.g., John qua philosopher, John qua husband)
coincident objects(as used in metaphysics): Different objects that occupy the exact same physical space at the same time—like how a statue and the bronze it's made from are in the same location but might be considered different things.
identical(whether the concept of 'human' and the concept of 'animal' are the same): Exactly the same as something else, not just similar but truly one and the same thing.
mereological principle(as used in metaphysics): A rule about how parts and wholes fit together; 'mereology' is the study of parts and wholes, so a mereological principle is a logical rule governing what can be combined or separated.
