Note well that Trump himself is New Money.  Which is why Old Money hates him so much.

I'm white trash and I have far more taste than Donnie Moscow has ever had in his life.

If you have more than 10 original teeth and/or don't live in a trailer park you ain't white trash son.  

I know me some white trash.  I know me some poor white trash, and I even know sorry white trash as well.

Yes, there are three categories of white trash, and they all of 'em can't stand that this <N> is their superior in every way.

And given that I come from a Scandinavian Lutheran tradition that is in many ways analogous to New England Puritanism, that is probably why I find Trump's lack of taste and lack of propriety so disgusting.

Personally I find his tastes extreme.  But it isn't my house or my money. Let the man do what he wants to do. 

You'd probably think my customized 1978 Lincoln Continental is tacky too. What with the chrome and the plush carpets.  Had it painted purple too. I sold my Eldorado though...I'm down sizing.  There's a recession on so I can only afford one car.

House is one of those ticky tacky numbers in the inner burbs though.  Thing about guys like me, either our house is nice or our car is.  I picked car.

1.  I know white trash.  I work with some.  They're young and have had only something like 4 teeth go bad. They live with the 'rents, not trailers.
2. If I hit the lotto or something, I'd just pick a house in Leadville, CO.  I'd take Truckee CA. as well  as a consolation prize.  High altitude and lots of snow make for a long life.
3. Here, your Pimpmobile needs help.  Here's Rags to assist.

1.  Are you sure they are white trash and not just trashy whites.  There is a difference, not a huge difference but it is still there.

2.  If I hit the lotto I'd be amazed since I don't play the lotto.  I've actually called it before "a tax on people who can't do math".  But now if I won big at the poker table or black jack table I'd probably do exactly what I said I was going to do.

3.  Nah I like classic cars.  Ones from the 70s are sexy for some reason...that long hood reminds me of ah well never mind.   Also pimpmobiles have to be American made.  Its like a law or something.  I'll have too consult my Pimp Handbook.

1.  I'm guessing it's in the definition of "white trash".  When I use that term, it's a slur [yes, us whitey's / or "mishmashes" (tainted white, flunks 1 drop rule) just toss it about, at least here. White trash:  unkempt,lower economic status whites who are unworldly.  Syns.  poor white trash, Okies,Arkies, hicks,redneck,yahoos.

Hicks/Rednecks. Stereotype farm male/female.  Wears cowboy boots, uses smokeless tobaccy, involved in agriculture.

Poor white trash/trailer trash. ~ White Trash.

Okies.  Born in Oklahoma / resident of Oklahoma.
Arkies. Same as for Oklahoma
yahoos. A group of testosterone addled males attempting to win a Darwin Award.

2. "Hit the lotto".  Clarification.  I just use that as lingo in a way of "coming into a windfall". Yeah, I don't do lottos either.  Yes, Hold'em/blackjack are far better at providing odds.

3. Bling?  At least I tried.
