Legalize recreational marijuana, change labor rules to be friendly to labor, whatever. It would endear him to the blue side of the country and his base would not leave him. He could even get the Republicans on-board for whatever reason he got them flattering him like Kim-Jong Un's sycophants. I firmly believe his base don't care what he does as long as they can see themselves on the winning side. It's like supporting a sports team with them.

Of course, it won't happen because he's not.
