One thing I bet on with President Trump is that he's a populist, not necessarily a conservative purist. His populism offers hope as the Congressional impasse over federally enhanced unemployment benefits hasn't been bridged while I type this post. Millions face drastically reduced resources when they can least afford it. I'm old school-socially conservative-but am a populist on economic issues. I promote putting money in the pockets of working class Americans with the same zeal crony capitalist Congressmen reserve for corporate welfare- as witnessed by big companies getting most of the first round of PPP (Paycheck Protection Plan) dollars. At least until January, 2021.

From his heart and head going into the final leg of election year, I can't imagine President Trump not convincing reluctant Republican Senators to continue a populist, working class bailout like $600 extra in weekly unemployment benefits. Doing otherwise gives America needless suffering and his opposition an unbeatable boost for its GOTV (Get Out the Vote) program. This is why I bet on President Trump being a populist because this economic emergency is tailor-made for a populist chief executive who wants to come through for the people instead of letting them eat cake as evictions and insolvency overwhelm the pandemic unemployed. #capblacksafetycreator is Nadra Enzi aka Cap Black, Grassroots Security Consultant in the real life Gotham City of New Orleans.
