I’ve never known anyone Trump-wealthy, but I have known some well-off people. My aunt and uncle owned shopping centers and a huge amount of commercial property. They drove frumpy family cars, lived in an upper middle-class neighborhood and dressed from Kmart. The people I most often see with designer clothes and Gucci handbags are definitely lower class.

A friend who drove the 1956 Studebaker I now own said he’d park next to his boss’ super car, and it annoyed the boss that people would come over to look at the Studebaker and ignore his $200k car. Me? I can’t tell a designer thingy from a knockoff. And, even if I could, I don’t care. The average person with expensive stuff is into hock up to his eyeballs.

Bingo. Trying to show off fake "wealth" to boost one's ego is the ultimate trashiness.
