The former president effectively ā€œbirthedā€ the project. Now that itā€™s a political liability, one of Trumpā€™s foot soldiers is out of a job

As he enteredĀ the final stretch of theĀ 2024 presidential race,Ā Donald Trump spent much of this month trying to disown the highly Trumpy,Ā Heritage Foundation-ledĀ Project 2025Ā ā€” to the point that he even got his fansĀ to booĀ the initiative during a recent campaign rally. His protracted freakout over the conservative project ā€” to which he has multiple direct ties, and which is only as extreme as it is largelyĀ becauseĀ of his influence ā€” is driven almost entirely by Trumpā€™s fear over one thing.

When the twice-impeached ex-president and convicted felon took to social media in early July to make the (patently absurd) claim that ā€œI know nothing aboutĀ Project 2025, [and] I have no idea who is behind it,ā€ he added, ā€œI disagree with some of the things theyā€™re saying, and some of the things theyā€™re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.ā€ He did not specify what ā€œthingsā€ he meant.

    If elected we can be certain that one of the first things that Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump will tell us is that ā€œwe are going to implement Project 2025 as soon as possibleā€. And it will be true, but Trump will not tell us that to be informative. He will say that just to get our attention, like an abusive ex-spouse. And he will keep on playing the abusive ex-spouse demanding our attention the entire 4 years. In fact he will be turning up the heat the entire time hoping that he normalizes enshitification enough to end free elections.
