This White House is about Main Street, not Wall Street.

Ronald Klain tweeted:
This White House is about Main Street, not Wall Street.


But I wonder what the "former guy" would say about a week where employee compensation rose, unemployment filings fell, AND stock market indexes hit new records? Hmmm...

Does "This White House is about the nation, not Wall Street" mean "This White House is about Main Street, not Wall Street"?

No. "Main Street" is a frequently-used metaphor for "average Americans". Most American cities have a major street called "Main Street". Until they moved to strip developments on the edge of town in the sixties and seventies, everyday businesses like supermarkets, hardware stores, barber shops and drug stores were often found on or near Main Street, so it became associated with common people.

Wall Street = the elite.
Main Street = everyone else.
