President Trump’s first day back in office saw him sign numerous executive orders, a significant portion of which directly mirrored proposals from the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025. This policy blueprint, previously distanced from by Trump, includes actions such as withdrawing from international agreements and boosting domestic oil production. The implementation of Project 2025 highlights the influence of conservative think tanks and their corporate backing in shaping the administration’s agenda. With Republican control of Congress, this conservative agenda will likely be swiftly enacted.

Despite initially dismissing the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 as “ridiculous and abysmal,” President-elect Trump later acknowledged some of its proposals as “very conservative and very good.” He maintains he had no involvement in the project and disapproved of its pre-election release, yet several key Project 2025 architects have been nominated for positions in his administration. This raises questions about the extent of the project’s influence on his second term, with critics arguing a direct connection and supporters downplaying its role. Trump’s ultimate agenda, however, remains focused on his campaign promises and loyal appointees.

Despite Trump’s public denials, numerous authors of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, a comprehensive plan for a Republican administration, have been appointed to key positions within his incoming government. These appointments include individuals responsible for chapters on various agencies and policy areas outlined in the 900-page document. The plan itself calls for sweeping changes, including mass firings, agency abolishment, and significant policy shifts. While Trump and his campaign have attempted to distance themselves, the appointments and subsequent admissions from right-wing media figures suggest a strong connection between Project 2025 and the incoming administration’s agenda.

Despite Donald Trump’s repeated denials, a prominent MAGA figure has claimed that Project 2025, a manifesto outlining conservative policy goals for the next Republican president, is “the agenda.” This assertion, made by conservative commentator Matt Walsh and endorsed by former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, comes after Trump’s victory in the recent election. While Trump has criticized some of Project 2025’s proposals, including its plans for abortion and immigration, Democrats have pointed to the involvement of former Trump aides in the project. The Heritage Foundation, the think tank that created Project 2025, has congratulated Trump on his victory, while the project’s 900-page document has been described by critics as a blueprint for replacing the rule of law with right-wing ideology.

Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, argues in his new book, *Dawn’s Early Light*, that a “controlled burn” is necessary to revitalize America. This “burn” would target institutions like the FBI, Ivy League colleges, and the Boy Scouts, which he sees as corrupted and hindering conservative aims. Roberts uses fire imagery throughout the book, comparing progressive policies to Dutch elm disease and advocating for “burning away the rot” of existing institutions. His rhetoric, reminiscent of Trump’s own fiery language, has already proven controversial, and with Trump’s victory, his call for a “controlled burn” is likely to alarm progressives.

Following Donald Trump’s election victory, Republican allies openly celebrated the implementation of “Project 2025,” a conservative policy package crafted by The Heritage Foundation. This plan, initially downplayed by Trump during his campaign, includes a broad expansion of executive powers, a de facto national abortion ban, and harsh measures against undocumented migrants. Despite Trump’s previous distancing from the project, his close ties to its architects and the alignment of its goals with his administration suggest a strong link between the two. With the election concluded, Republicans are now comfortable acknowledging Project 2025 as the blueprint for Trump’s second term.

As I delve into the cacophony of opinions and comments surrounding the call for Kamala Harris to drop the Project 2025 ads in order to supposedly protect Donald Trump’s safety, I am left astounded by the audacity and sheer hypocrisy of the Republican party. The suggestion that Harris should cease educating the public about the dangerous policies advocated by Project 2025, simply to shield Trump from potential threats, is not only ludicrous but also highlights the lengths to which some are willing to go to manipulate the narrative.
The fact that Project 2025 is a real and tangible plan, championed by none other than the disgraced former President himself, is undeniable.… Continue reading
As someone who has grown up in a household that leaned towards conservatism, it is both baffling and disheartening to see the depths to which some political figures will sink in pursuit of power. The revelation that Project 2025, a blueprint for dismantling American democracy and ushering in a fascist regime, has deep ties to Donald Trump is a chilling reminder of the dangers posed by unchecked greed and authoritarianism.
The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank at the forefront of crafting legislation for decades, is the driving force behind Project 2025. Their willingness to push forward an agenda that threatens the rights and liberties of marginalized communities is not only reprehensible but also a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked power.… Continue reading
Trump has been in a frenzy over Project 2025, not because he disagrees with it, but because it’s starting to affect his chances of reelection. His attempt to distance himself from the project is futile when 70 to 80 percent of the people behind it are expected to be in his second administration. The ties between Project 2025 and Trump are undeniable, with key figures involved in the project having served in influential federal posts during his first term. The detailed abortion policies outlined in Project 2025 have put Trump in a tight spot, leading him to publicly denounce the project while privately expressing discontent over its extreme measures.… Continue reading
It’s no secret that Donald Trump has ties to Project 2025, a Trump-driven operation staffed by former officials from his administration. The connections are clear, with key figures in the project being close allies or former colleagues of Trump himself. The denial from Trump and his team is nothing new, as they constantly deflect and deceive to protect their interests. Trump’s association with extremist agendas like Project 2025 should be a wake-up call to all Americans about the dangers of his leadership.
The close alignment between Trump, the GOP, and the Heritage Foundation is unmistakable. The ties run deep, with key figures in each entity interlinked and working towards a common goal.… Continue reading
