Opportunity Zones - also likely contributed to increases to the deficit due to deferred capital gains taxes. Electorate wouldn't understand this at all.
Removing the tariffs would be a lose-lose situation. You get hammered being soft on China and prices likely don't come down because people are now used to paying more.
Regulatory rollbacks are something that obviously take time to have an impact.

You didn't answer my question and you especially ignored my comment on doubling the standard deduction, something that basically only affects the lower/middle class. Definitely not something that the "apathetic electorate" would glaze over.
And very disingenuous point about the ACA. The TCJA removed the individual mandate that penalized people for not having health insurance. So people "removed" from the ACA were people who chose not to enroll in the ACA.
