“I know nothing about Project 2025,” Trump posted on his social media website. “I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.”


Trump has outlined his own plans to remake the government if he wins a second term, including staging the largest deportation operation in U.S. history and imposing tariffs on potentially all imports. His campaign has previously warned outside allies not to presume to speak for the former president and suggested their transition-in-waiting efforts were unhelpful.

You can also plainly see that the Project 2025 is not from the Trump Campaign nor is it from the Republican National Convention. Nor is Project 2025 endorsed by Trump nor the Republican Party.

It is the result of a think tank and not even all it's members agree with it.


Project 2025, organized by The Heritage Foundation, is a movement-wide effort guided by the conservative cause to address and reform the failings of big government and an undemocratic administrative state. The opinions of Project 2025 and The Heritage Foundation do not necessarily represent the opinions of every one of its advisory board partners.

Please - let's be intellectually honest .

Wink, wink.

Trump is distancing himself from Project 2025 because he knows the majority of Americans object to it. Should he win in November, the plan will be in full force on January 21st....

I disagree with your conclusions that the Trump administration will use, or endorse, all of Project 2025.

Maybe not *all*...but any portion thereof would be deeply unpopular with the American public.

I believe that only the liberals would find portions of that project to be unpopular with them. I believe that the American public is NOT nearly as liberal as the Democratic Party wants them to be.

From their website:

The 2025 Presidential Transition Project is being organized by The Heritage Foundation and builds off Heritage’s longstanding “Mandate for Leadership,” which has been highly influential for presidential administrations since the Reagan era. Most recently, the Trump administration relied heavily on Heritage’s “Mandate” for policy guidance, embracing nearly two-thirds of Heritage’s proposals within just one year in office.

Paul Dans, former chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) during the Trump administration, serves as the director of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. Spencer Chretien, former special assistant to the president and associate director of Presidential Personnel, serves as associate director of the project.

[...but Trump "has no idea who is behind it" ].

The 2025 Presidential Transition Project paves the way for an effective conservative Administration based on four pillars: a policy agenda, Presidential Personnel Database, Presidential Administration Academy, and playbook for the first 180 days of the next Administration.

As if Trump’s word was worth anything. We’re better off not taking any chances.

Are you aware that all politicians lie?
If Lying were an Olympic sport Trump would win the quadruple platinum award while the rest of the politicians bragged on the bronzes they got.

If that’s true why is the Trump administration trying to distance itself from Project 2025?

And you’re wrong because the GOP as a whole has had to move leftward towards the center to attract more voters and maintain relevance with a far less conservative electorate than they used to. The most popular candidate they’ve ever had isn’t even very conservative himself. Trump has been more liberal on nearly every social issue the right has championed for the past several decades.

LoL. I believe that, if lying was an Olympic sport, Joe Biden would have earned far more gold medals over the last 12 years than all of the rest of the politicians combined. :)

But when Republicans meet in Milwaukee next week and vote to officially confirm the first new Republican Party platform since 2016 -- which Trump and Republicans across the country will run on -- that platform will have been crafted and influenced by individuals with deep ties to Project 2025.​
In May, the Trump campaign and the RNC announced their Platform Committee leadership team, the senior officials tasked with drafting the Republican platform, and named Russ Vought as the platform committee's policy director and Ed Martin as deputy policy director. Both have ties to Project 2025.....​
Democratic National Committee press secretary Emilia Rowland, commenting on the RNC platform, said in a statement, "The reality is that Trump literally put architects of Project 2025 in charge of the Republican platform, and the result is not only the most extreme platform in GOP history but one containing lie after lie after lie."​

Project 2025 partners employ over 200 former Trump administration officials.[88] The Washington Post reported on regular communication between Project 2025 and Trump campaign advisers.[89] In April 2024, according to Media Matters, Project 2025 senior advisor John McEntee stated that they and the Trump campaign planned to "integrate a lot of our work".[90] Russell Vought was named policy director of the Republican National Committee platform committee in May 2024.[91] Many contributors to Project 2025 are expected to have positions in a second Trump administration.[92]
Yep, Trump is involved in it.

All you both need now is some type of actual proof beyond innuendo. Please cite Trump and/or RNC endorsing the project.

If you do not have it, then the best you have is a conspiracy theory.

....former Trump White House officials are Directors based on the their website (or is their website part of the "conspiracy" as well?).

Paul Dans, former chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) during the Trump administration, serves as the director of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. Spencer Chretien, former special assistant to the president and associate director of Presidential Personnel, serves as associate director of the project.

...and the article you linked also notes:

The project’s director is Paul Dans, who served as chief of staff at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management under Trump. Russ Vought, who was director of the Office of Management and Budget under Trump, wrote one of the chapters. John McEntee, a former director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office in the Trump administration, is a senior adviser.

Oh, the direct ties to from those who crafted Project 2025 is plain for all to see, and not conspiracy theory.


The truth is Project 2025 was enabled by a raft of former Trump administration officials, including Paul Dans, former chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management; John McEntee, former director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office; Rick Dearborn, former White House deputy chief of staff for legislative, intergovernmental affairs and implementation; Ben Carson, former Housing and Urban Development secretary; Ken Cuccinelli, former deputy secretary of homeland security; Peter Navarro, former director of the White House National Trade Council and director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy; Christopher Miller, former acting secretary of defense; Stephen Moore, an adviser to Trump’s 2016 campaign; Russell Vought, former director of the Office of Management and Budget; William Pendley, former acting director of the Bureau of Land Management; Paul Winfree, former director of budget policy; Brooks Tucker, former chief of staff for the Department of Veterans Affairs; Roger Severino, former director of the Office of Civil Rights at the Department of Health and Human Services; Kiron Skinner, former director of policy planning at the State Department; and Bernard McNamee, former commissioner of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.​
In fact, Project 2025 is staffed by more than 200 former officials of the Trump administration. Is it really possible that Trump is unfamiliar with the massive conservative project worked on by hundreds of his own former officials? Or is the toxicity of this agenda just that evident?​
Common sense and Occam’s razor would suggest it’s the latter. And it does make a lot of sense that Trump would want to try to distance himself from the project, because it is legitimately extreme.​

WOWSERS Batman they are all conservative and know each other!

You are still lacking an endorsement from Trump or the RNC -

Most people are smart enough to know if the Candidate and the Candidates party does not endorse the plan - then





wait for it





It isn't the candidates, nor the parties plan


Kinda simple really

In the real world hearsay evidence is not fact. You need more, like facts would be good - people are waking up to this.
