It was a programmatic expression of the central assertion of President Trump’s inaugural address: I am a populist independent, allied not with the two major parties but with the working men and women of America. That it came like a barrage — Boom, pipeline! Boom, trade! Boom, abortion! — made it more unmistakable.

It is fiery Andrew Jackson, tormentor of elites, champion of the 19th century’s deplorables.
