Donald Trump claimed he knew nothing about Project 2025
Project 2025
resurfaced as the talking point after Donald Trump claimed victory in an election which was thought closer than a coin toss. Project 2025 was a 900-page policy wish list from which Donald Trump distanced himself as it was at the center of a major controversy for its conservation vision. Right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation drafted Project 2025 and it was unveiled in April 2023. The Kamala Harris campaign resisted Project 2025 while the Republicans disavowed it.
"Suddenly Trump will know all the details of Project 2025," a social media user posted.
"So can we tell them that Project 2025 is real now," another said.
"Can you believe we tricked the Libs into believing Project 2025 wasn't real??? Lmaoooo," another wrote.
"Remember when we told the liberals that 'Trump isn’t even connected to project 2025'? We lied. Prepare yourselves," one post read.
What is Project 2025?
Project 2025 is a collection of conservative ideas like placing the federal bureaucracy, and the Department of Justice under presidential control. It also proposed withdrawing the abortion pill mifepristone from the market. Increased funding for a wall on the US-Mexico border is proposed in the document. Project 225 proposed to ban pornography and tech and telecom companies that allow access to porn. Many of the ideas have been absorbed by the GOP.
What Donald Trump said on Project 2025?
Donald Trump said he had no idea who was behind Project 2025 but people whom he know very well were behind it. Six of his former Cabinet secretaries helped write or collaborated on the 900-page playbook for a second Trump term published by the Heritage Foundation. Four individuals Trump nominated as ambassadors were also involved, along with several enforcers of his controversial immigration crackdown. And about 20 pages are credited to his first deputy chief of staff, CNN reported. earlier. CNN claimed it found nearly 240 people with ties to both Project 2025 and Trump.
