"the problem for Trump is that he’s full of all of these contradictions. He’s kind of a tabula rasa on policy."

The Heritage Foundation has been uniquely successful in writing on that blank slate.

Trump at yesterday's Florida rally

And I didn’t want to be obnoxious because I felt it was the first time I’d ever done this. And what? I didn’t even know what the [heck] NATO was too much before, but it didn’t take me long to figure it out. Like about two minutes.

Can we stay to the topic of the thread please. I know you like quoting your own posts - but it doesn't add to the veracity of the post - nor does it prove Trump and the RNC are connected with 2025

Wow! there a whole lot of juxtaposing animosity, hearsay and innuendo's here - just no proof.

  7. DEFEND OUR CONSTITUTION, OUR BILL OF RIGHTS, AND OUR FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS, INCLUDING FREEDOM OF SPEECH, FREEDOM OF RELIGION, AND THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS
  8. PREVENT WORLD WAR THREE, RESTORE PEACE IN EUROPE AND IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AND BUILD A GREAT IRON DOME MISSILE DEFENSE SHIELD OVER OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY -- ALL MADE IN AMERICA
  9. END THE WEAPONIZATION OF GOVERNMENT AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
  10. STOP THE MIGRANT CRIME EPIDEMIC, DEMOLISH THE FOREIGN DRUG CARTELS, CRUSH GANG VIOLENCE, AND LOCK UP VIOLENT OFFENDERS
  11. REBUILD OUR CITIES, INCLUDING WASHINGTON DC, MAKING THEM SAFE, CLEAN, AND BEAUTIFUL AGAIN.
  12. STRENGTHEN AND MODERNIZE OUR MILITARY, MAKING IT, WITHOUT QUESTION, THE STRONGEST AND MOST POWERFUL IN THE WORLD

  19. SECURE OUR ELECTIONS, INCLUDING SAME DAY VOTING, VOTER IDENTIFICATION, PAPER BALLOTS, AND PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP
  20. UNITE OUR COUNTRY BY BRINGING IT TO NEW AND RECORD LEVELS OF SUCCESS
This looks like a child wrote this.
This is not a plan. It is campaign promise list. There are no details. Keep men out of women's sports. There's a winner....

“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 .
I’m not falling for it. He didn’t fool me in 2016, he didn’t fool me in 2020, and he certainly won’t fool me in 2024 or 2025 into voting for him.

Ooh. They gave a donation.
The official sponsorship demonstrates the mainstream acceptability within the GOP of the Heritage Foundation and its ideas (such as those embodied in its Project 2025).

I'm almost 100% sure that a neo-Nazi group with a neo-Nazi manifesto for 2025 would have its sponsorship of the convention rejected.

It's a list of stated goals. When JFK said he wanted a moon landing within the decade, he didn't follow that up with the details of how it would be accomplished. The goal was set and then the legwork on achieving it began.
Keep men out of women's sports. There's a winner....
Indeed, along with keeping them out of women's private spaces, women's public restrooms, and out of women's penitentiaries.

They are not points. It is a list of grievances.
I see here just another post of liberal dismissal instead of an interesting answer.

Acceptability does not mean endorsement - we can review this 100 times - and you can post your reasoning 150 times - I'm looking for actual facts - and there are none but the Candidates and organization open statements they are not part of 2025 - nor do they accept them as policy.

It is that plain and simple. I could be wrong, but didn't you actually link to the 16 page roll out from Donald Trumps own website just a couple days ago?

So, which is it? The one you linked from Donald Trumps website that has his endorsement or the one from Project 2025 that he doesn't endorse or support - in fact the Project 2025 website states not all over their members agree.

Do you have anything of more substance to offer than generalized carping wisecracks?
FIGHT FOR AND PROTECT SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE WITH NO CUTS, INCLUDING NO CHANGES TO THE RETIREMENT AGE

Given the projections that the SS Trust Fund will run out of money in a decade or so, resulting in a shortfall where incoming funds will only cover 83% of obligations, how will the Trump Administration achieve 100% funding for these programs without any benefit cuts?

I notice there is no mention of the federal debt. Will Social Security be funded in the future on additional debt left to our descendants?

Trump wants to distance himself from far-right Project 2025 plan while his PAC pushes ads promoting it


Meanwhile, the chief political action committee supporting Trump has been running online ads promoting Project 2025, explicitly calling it “Trump’s Project 2025.”


The judicial system ruled that Trump committed fraud and lied. He lied to the courts. He has no credibility and for all we know that he is lying about this too.
Oh that was just project lawfare 2024, LOL. That is hopefully winding down

How far have you looked for details? As for funding what I'm supposed to be getting in 5 years after paying into it for 50 years, there's trillions of dollars spent on other stuff like Biden's $1.4 Trillion student loan scheme. Or the mega billions that gets shelled out as welfare money to other countries. And however much money is being shelled out to illegal invaders claiming to be refugees etc etc. There's probably enough trillions being flushed to be able to pay retired 67 year olds at least $5000 a month for the rest of their life.

Good point. We should be discussing how these are the ideas of a non-government private foundation, and not ideas being posted by Trump or the RNC.
