There's a difference between Trump says populist things and Trump does populist things. Much like "saying things I want to hear" and "saying things I need to hear."

For your factory worker example, at exactly a year into his presidency, we've yet to hear populist points on:

- a comprehensive overhaul to address medical costs for workers

- point-by-point implementation of tariff revenue in reshoring and subsidizing of industry

- how AI is going to support manufacturing gains to the degree we can become competitive with China
