Just heard a good one today, from a (now former) Trump supporter, no less!

[Archae]

After reading what Trump said about Dingell, she told me "Trump is like trailer-park trash after winning the lottery, he has money, but he still has no class at all."

Amen.

[Wellstone ruled]

1. True!

[TruckFump]

2. Oh, Trump has class!

All of it's low -- very low -- but gawd knows he has a lot of it.

[Xipe Totec]

17. He's a class on to himself - He's Sewer Generis nt

[33taw]

3. I understand her point, but I dislike references to trailer trash.

It implies being poor makes you trash.

[rusty fender]

4. I know!

[Archae]

5. I've met people who live or lived in trailer parks who were poor, who are not trash.

One of them a sister of mine.

The trailer-park trash label comes from how they live or what they do.

Having a yard full of broken cars and other junk.
Being the local drunk who screams at clouds.
Getting busted repeatedly for selling and/or using dope.

And implying a congressman is now "in hell"
"Jay-zus told me!"

8. Trump is the foul example of money does not give anyone class, compassion or intelligence.

Being poor takes none of those qualities away.

[Hortensis]

16. Me too. We actually just sold a trailer in a nicely maintained

park full of decent people. Many retirees live in trailers to stretch their means and continue to be self reliant, or just to have extra to play and travel with. We knew a divorced single mother who rented inexpensively to keep her daughter in her previous school and a man who gave his assortment of homes away to his children after his wife died and went to live in a trailer park on a river where a fishing buddy lived; pretty sure from his fancy truck, travels, etc., that he could still live wherever he wanted.

I'm keyboarding from a trailer now, though not in a park, and suggest a better version of that saying:

"_______ is like a Trump in the White House." No need for elaboration.

[whathehell]

18. I don't like the cruel snobbery of the term "trailer trash," either

Like you, I get the point, but dislike the implication as well.
Are people "trash'' because of where they live?

It doesn't seem like a Democratic value.

6. I remember a quote from Tom Arnold:

"We're your worst nightmare: white trash with money."

For the record, my family lived in a trailer until I was six years old. My husband lived in a trailer until we were married and bought a house. My aunt and uncle lived in a trailer for several years. It became too small for their family. They designed and built a home on their property only then.

[BuffaloJackalope]

7. And everyone who voted for him knew that going in.

Not only no class, but a corrupt criminal asshole as well. And they STILL supported him.

No sympathy for Johnny-come-latelys

[OMGWTF]

9. I'll bet everyone here is richer than Traitor Tot

because no one here owes anyone billions of dollars.

[CaptYossarian]

13. Isn't that how you file bankruptcy? When your debts far surpass your assets?

Mr. Rich Guy has done it 4 times.

The other thing about it is that it protects what assets you have from your creditors.

If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

[OneGrassRoot]

10. As someone who grew up in a trailer park

I always resent being called trash.

[Scarsdale]

14. I have known several people

who lived in trailer parks. Every last one of them could teach tRump some manners. Money can not buy CLASS. He will never have any. I have never seen a trailer with gold paint on every surface, like that whorehouse tRump lives in in NY.

[Perseus]

11. What a great quote, with very little she has explained the idiot

Reason why he was never accepted within the circles of the New York elite.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. It has not been established definitively that he has a positive net wealth. . . . nt

[CaptYossarian]

15. Not everybody living in a trailer is trash. However,

the guy who lived across from me (during my unfortunate 6 month lease) was watching his NASCAR one Sunday and whenever his "boy" took the lead, he would run outside and squeeze off a shotgun blast into the air.

He could become a Foxworthy joke at any moment, but I didn't know him enough to call him trash.
