In a post to his social media site, Trump claimed, “I know nothing about Project 2025,” the name given to a playbook crafted by the Heritage Foundation to fill the executive branch with thousands of Trump loyalists and reorient its many agencies’ missions around conservative ideals.
“I have no idea who is behind it,” Trump continued on Truth Social. “I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.”
I assume as much, but we already know that he’s too stubborn to listen to anyone he doesn’t hand-pick, and that he doesn’t like being told what to do, so there’s a chance that he’ll just do whatever he wants in impulse for 4 years as president, and that P2025 limps along trying to convince Trump that they know best.
After 4 years of his supporters calling him the greatest president ever to set foot in the White House, I find it hard to believe he considers anyone more qualified than himself, given that he’s a gigantic narcissist. I take P2025 as a serious threat given that there are billions of dollars backing it, but I also think their plan is ridiculous and impossible to actually execute without competence, and the guy they are relying on can’t string together a complete sentence and is prone to random speeches about sharks.
