I don't think Trump really has "a strategy". Not least because he's burning up his most combustible powder. It's well-known in politics that you do the antipopulist heavy lifting at the start of your term, then sugar the turd with various splurges towards the end of your term. Electoral feeling for any action, no matter how popular or unpopular, is always returning to a baseline of "meh". If Trump had such a strategy, he'd have held this stuff over until before the mid-terms or the 2020 campaign.
