    Trump said he has nothing to do with project 2025 during the election. I don’t doubt this. The man is a moron, but a dangerous moron. He is so susceptible to flattery and influence, especially from people who are smarter richer and better looking than him. Which is damn near everybody in the world.

    He has no idea that he is just a tool of the Project 2025 architects.

  2. So what do you think is the most important take away from this article?

    The fact that Trump denied having knowledge of Project 2025 during the campaign or the fact that 50% of the policies already have been implemented?

    I wonder if the “it is what it is” crowd has suffered enough to actually want change.

    What do the post its say?

    Why does he look like he got away with something?

    If he’s implemented half of his agenda, how much more time do we need to prove Biden isn’t the problem still? 

  5. Tried to warn people…. Heritage Foundation had been working for years – recruiting and training – tens of thousands of people to march into Washington and being implementing Project 2025 on Day One. Tell me again… why wasn’t Harris good enough?

    Wait…I thought he said he didn’t know what that was.

    So either…

    –he’s a liar, or

    –someone else is calling the shots, or

    –He is easily manipulated by whoever praises him the loudest and spoke to him last.

  7. There’s still “Tier IV” of project 2025 that was never publicly released. I assume it’s all the really awful nazi initiatives.

  8. The Heritage Foundation and Opus Dei worked for 40+ years to build this SCOTUS and Presidency.

    Frankly, I’m surprised they’re moving this slowly … although the project name did imply a year.

    They are right on schedule to steal America for themselves and make the Christian Nation they’ve always claimed the Founders intended. Trump has all of 2026 to do that, and absolutely nothing to lose.

    The project he knew nothing about, yet appointed a bunch of the people behind it to his administration?

  10. Luckily a lot of the destruction is by executive decree. It will take time and $ but it can be reversed

    Of course it takes a lot longer to build something up than to tear it down.

  11. A good chunk of the “implementations” are executive orders decreeing something to be so, the legal equivalent of a Santa claus wishlist. Others are ordering various departments to “do something” a certain way. That’s what counts as “implementing.” One of the things that would count by that standard is the “Birthright Citizenship” restriction, which has not actually been implemented and been blocked by the court at every level. It’s going to scotus next year, after Gorsuch and Kagan both explicitly asked the admin to appeal it on its merits (personally I think they wanna use it as an easy slap down to say “see, we aren’t totally in the tank for Trump!”).

    Except for SCOTUS cases, the Trump admin loses over 90% of the time in court, and lots of them they don’t bother appealing or they are unappealable.

    Something this article mentions is “dismantling the department of education.” And yet the department, not one month ago, had to rehire a bunch of people to deal with backlogs created by letting people go.

  12. So it is possible to create an agenda and just implement it. Sadly this never happens with things that would benefit more than 5 people.

    That thing he told us he knew nothing about? How about that? He just does a lot of shit without knowing, he is either being “helped” or lying.

  14. Didn’t they want all of project 2025 done in like 6 months but it’s only halfway done?

  15. This is why the GOP never passed ACA subsidies. Once people “get used to” its demise and resigned to the fact that it’s not coming back, SNAP is next on the chopping block, soon into the new year. After that, is Medicare and Social Security. These will all occur before the 2026 elections. It’s Project 2025’s last chance and the GOP’s patrons want all of this gone.

  16. The blueprint for overthrowing American Democracy and the separation of church and state and turning the US in to an authoritarian Christian Nationalist theocracy. 

  17. On the small upside, most of what he’s done is purely by executive order. Next president can just straight cancel and reverse most of it easy enough.

  18. That’s pretty ironic being only a little over one year from him denying he even knew what it was let alone having a part in it. ***Ironic*** indeed.

  19. Mirroring Putin’s play book on policy. The new 85th Federation of Russia will be now be known as the United States of Russia.

    The dumbass trump is standing on the steps of his Florida Mansion with Zelensky, and prior to this meeting he’s stupidly claiming that both sides want a deal. But they both know perfectly well that MadDog Putin will not agree to anything that he doesn’t like, and will continue to launch missiles and drones against Ukraine.

  21. What annoys me so much is that the press never point blank asked him about it.

    How come he implemented 50% of the Project he claimed not knowing anything about.

    Either he was lying or he’s being manipulated. And I’m sure Trump is not the kind of person that would like to admit to being manipulated that easily.
