The president-elect distanced himself from Project 2025 during his campaign, calling parts of it "ridiculous and abysmal."

Summary

Donald Trump, once critical of Project 2025—a conservative policy agenda led by the Heritage Foundation—has softened his stance, calling parts of it “very conservative and very good.”

Despite distancing himself from the 900-page plan during his campaign, Trump has nominated key contributors to his second administration, including Russ Vought and Brendan Carr.

Critics claim this signals alignment with the project’s goals, which include expanding executive power and limiting civil service protections.

Trump denies full involvement, while Democrats and watchdog groups argue the initiative reflects his broader conservative agenda.

      Yeah I remember before he was saying the total equivalent of “Project2025 is just a coffee boy, nothing to do with me.”

      Now, which anyone absolutely could have predicted: “Oh, but how convenient it is to have a database of stooges who were vetted to suck up to me! Might as well use it!”

      Media sane-washed the fuck out of Project2025 which everyone with two braincells unwashed by propaganda to put together, knew this was the plan all along.

        We have a concept of a plan… anyone not thinking he was talking about project 2025 was a fucking idiot.
