“I know that rich white people call poor white people trash. And the only reason I know that is because I made so much money last year, the rich whites told me; they say it at a cocktail party.

“And I stood with them in line, like all of us Americans are required to do in a democracy — nobody skips the line to vote — and I listened to them. I listened to them say naive poor white people things: ‘Man, Donald Trump’s gonna go to Washington, and he’s gonna fight for us.’

I’m standing there thinking in my mind: ‘You are poor. He’s fighting for me.’ ”
