I guess it depends heavily on how quickly he folds. He would either pay lip service to social policy (and be vilified) or abandon it entirely and lose popular support even as the media praises him for "reaching across the aisle"
Yeah, in case such like this i remember Roosevelt New Deal that was aimed at saving capitalism, but the capitalist hated him so much they tried to coup him. So obligatory reminder that ruling class is not monolithic and not entirely rational even in case of their class interests (as the election of Trump also clearly shows!).
