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!"
