Project 25? Trump says he doesn’t know

Donald Trump on Friday sought to distance himself from Project 25, the Heritage Foundation think tank’s controversial road map for his return to the White House. “I don’t know anything about the 2025 plan. I don’t know who is behind this project. I don’t agree with some of the things they say, some of the things they say are absolutely ridiculous and pathetic. Whatever they do, I want to do them good, but I have nothing to do with them. » This is definitely a lie.

One of the key elements of Project 2025 was designed by John McKenzie, the former director of the White House’s Office of Presidential Staff under Trump. It is based on a Presidential Decree Called “Schedule F,” it would allow the president to strip thousands of federal employees of all job protections, fire them, and replace them with Trump loyalists. McEntee served as a consultant to the Heritage Foundation in the development of the 920-page Plan 25.

Other former Trump aides have been involved in the project, including former director of the White House Office of Budget and Management, Russ Vought. The pro-Trump super PAC is running ads promoting the website Make America Great Again Inc Trump Plan 25. Trump is no stranger to Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, who said in an interview on Steve Bannon’s podcast earlier this week that “we are in the midst of a second American revolution that will be bloodless if the left allows it.”

Project 25 describes a federal government that would crack down on immigration, roll back LGBTQ+ and abortion rights, roll back environmental protections, overhaul the country’s fiscal policy and take aggressive measures against China.

Most of the proposals in this roadmap are unpopular with the majority of the public. Biden campaign team launched site The plan on June 27 was to “give Trump more power in your daily life, disable democratic controls and consolidate power in the Oval Office,” according to him.
