Donald Trump has lately made clear he wants little to do with Project 2025, the conservative blueprint for the next Republican president that has attracted considerable blowback in his race for the White House.
“I have no idea who is behind it,” the former president recently claimed on social media.
Many people Trump knows quite well are 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.
In fact, at least 140 people who worked in the Trump administration had a hand in Project 2025, a CNN review found, including more than half of the people listed as authors, editors and contributors to “Mandate for Leadership,” the project’s extensive manifesto for overhauling the executive branch.
When asked who ate all the donuts Trump, mouth visibly covered in powdered sugar, said he wasn’t sure, but he wished them well.
And he sure hopes
he’sthey’re wearing a diaper when it starts to become an issue.He’d probably blame illegal immigrants
in typical mob boss fashion the guy doesnt know anything unless he needs to.
When asked about his involvement with project 2025, convicted felon Donald Project 2025 Trump denied any links to it.
Donald Trump has lately made clear he wants little to do with Project 2025
I don’t think that’s clear at all. He clearly doesn’t want anyone to think he’s directly responsible for it, and honestly that much is probably true (seriously, does anyone think he’s forward-thinking enough to come up with any of it?). But I don’t think he’s said at all that he wouldn’t go along with it if elected.
Sounds like he should take one of those IQ tests he keeps talking about.
This guy is like a deranged one legged gerbil crawling toward your lunch from a mile away. You see him with binoculars and he has several busy streets and predators along the way. You chuckle - the poor bastard won’t make it 50 feet. With no sense of cunning, agility, or wit he flops along in your general direction somehow avoiding what seemed like self-evident destruction, and all the sudden you look up in panic and the mother fucker is about to eat your lunch. I hate this fucking gerbil.
Nobody serious is entertaining this bullshit from the man that will 100% say, “I’ve never met my own son” once one of those goofy fuckers gets their’s in court.
BuT it’s oK BecAUse wE Know hE Lies
Wow he can’t remember that? He’s too old, the dementia is getting the best of him. He needs to drop out.
He doesn’t support it because it wasn’t “his idea”. He’ll do the exact same shit (or nearly exact. Probably some extra stupid bullshit in there and maybe a pinch less Christian nationalism if we’re lucky since he doesn’t give a shit about religion beyond using it to get him votes), but call it something different and say he came up with it. Either way, it’s the same outcome.
To play Devil’s advocate for a moment, I don’t know everything that everyone I used to work with is up to at all times. Just because they all worked for him doesn’t mean he was aware that they were the ones behind it.
To stop playing Devil’s advocate for a moment, Trump is incapable of telling the truth, so…
It also wouldn’t be okey if he wasn’t aware of what his top people were doing. Any respectable leader would at least be aware of their tasks.
In any case, yes, he is lying though.It also wouldn’t be okey if he wasn’t aware of what his top people were doing. Any respectable leader would at least be aware of their tasks.
i think that’s the very point the fella above you is trying to make?
No, what he is trying to say, playing devil’s advocate, is that he genuinely may not have known what his subordinates did, which is right. It is a possibility. What I said in my comment is arguing that even if that were the case, not knowing the underdoings of his closest people is not a sign of a strong leader. In any case, I personally believe that he is lying and that he knows very well on what his people were working.
“my old employees just happen to be leading an effort to get me reelected”
I understand where you are coming from, but there is no reason to defend a twice impeached, 34 time felon, treasonous rapist. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Xi, Kim, and Pol Pot don’t deserve a devil’s advocate argument, and neither does Donald Trump. There is no grey area. Trump and his lackeys are the greatest threat to American democracy and world stability, and playing devil’s advocate validates them just enough to turn someone apathetic at best and into a Trump voter at worst.
I like thinking about things. In case I didn’t make my actual opinion clear, Trump is a lying liar.
Project 2025 can both be something that Trump never worked on and something that gets implemented is he becomes President.
