Here’s something better: A video of Trump speaking at a Heritage Foundation event in 2022 where he references Project 2025:

> “Our country is going to hell. The critical job of institutions such as Heridges [sic] is to lay the groundwork. And Heridges does such an incredible job at that.”

> “They’re going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do and what your movement will do, when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America, and that’s coming.”

Trump already tried and failed once to implement a core aspect of Project 2025. He literally already did it.

One of Trump's final acts in office was issuing an executive order implementing the Schedule F jobs classification that would allow for the mass purging of career civil service employees, a core component of Project 2025.

This isn't some conspiracy. It's public record and freely available for anyone to confirm: https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-creating-schedule-f-excepted-service/

Biden axed that order right after taking office.

Every single conservative voter claiming that Trump has nothing to do with P2025 or that he doesn't like it are themselves either gullible, low-information suckers or intentionally parroting disinformation.

If any conservative lurkers out there want to chime in as to whether they're a gullible rube or just purposefully spreading disinfo, please feel free.

He says he’s not heard of it but:

He literally just said roughly one week prior how he has read through it and pretended to disagree with some points (with no mention of which) and then wished them luck in their endeavor for their fascist agenda. So, this is a plain and simple lie

It already strongly aligns with Trump and other Republicans’ explicitly stated policy goals

He’s already worked extensively with the Heritage Foundation on building policy, having reached out to them to advise and recommend policy during his presidency, then implemented the majority of it

It’s crafted and being pushed by a group that specifically joined them straight from his staff to them

Project 2025 explicitly details that’s it’s all planned around a Trump presidency. Massive resources have already gone into it to prepare to swiftly implement many pieces of it ready for day 1 of his presidency, this seems odd to do with someone you’ve extensively worked with recently without ANY confirmation. So this isn’t just some guy writing an opinion piece on what he hopes Trump will do, there’s been genuine cooperation, planning, and a massive amount of resources applied to this

This has been out there for a while. It’s hard to believe this popular document detailing how it intends to use your presidency as a fascist takeover was just circulating for someone running for president, and him and his team were entirely unbothered by it, not even casually denying it, that is, all until polling showed people weren’t liking it, then suddenly he says he read through it and doesn’t like it all but wishes them luck, then says he’s never heard of it a few days later getting caught lying.
