Donald Trump distances himself from extreme conservative claims of ‘New Revolution’
Former President Donald Trump rejects calls for "New American Revolution."

Trump
'Project 2025' calls for a radical overhaul of U.S. government that trump calls 'ridiculous.'

MIAMI (AP) — Donald Trump distanced himself Friday from Project 2025, a massive proposed overhaul of the federal government drafted by longtime allies and former officials in his administration, days after the head of the think tank responsible for the program suggested there would be a second American Revolution.

“I know nothing about Project 2025,” Trump posted on his social media website. “I have no idea who is behind it. 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.”

Project 2025 outlines a dramatic expansion of presidential power and a plan to fire as many as 50,000 government workers to replace them with Trump loyalists. President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign has worked to draw more attention to the agenda, particularly as Biden tries to keep fellow Democrats on board after his disastrous debate.

Trump has outlined his own plans to remake the government if he wins a second term, including staging the largest deportation operation in U.S. history and imposing tariffs on potentially all imports. His campaign has previously warned outside allies not to presume to speak for the former president and suggested their transition-in-waiting efforts were unhelpful.

Trump’s social media rejection of the notion of a “New American Revolution” comes as he’s gearing up for a Florida rally. The pep talk to supporters will take place Tuesday night at Doral in South Florida as speculation centers on the presumptive Republican nominee’s running mate and Trump’s criticism of Biden’s troubled performance during the June 27 debate.

        Working part-time, I earn more than $13,000 per month. I kept hearing how much money people could make online, so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true, and it completely altered my life… This is what I do; you can learn more about it by visiting the website listed below.

    But Trump is a notorious liar. A nonstop liar.
    His denials mean nothing.
    If the plans were popular, he would be all for them.

      Biden says his fit to govern – Lie
      Biden says border under control – Lie
      Biden says military supports him – Lie
      Biden says no US personnel have been
      killed under his watch -Lie
      Biden says inflation was 9% when he took over as CIC – Lie
      Biden says Border Patrol personnel have endorsed him – Lie

        Can’t tell opinion, judgement, assessment, and the occasional mistake, from outright lies from a lifetime lifestyle liar?

        Sad! as your god Trump would say.

    He won’t be Hitler or Mussolini.
    Maybe more Franco or Salazar.
    Probably more Baby Doc.*
    Possibly more Nero or Caligula.

    *Or who is that crazy character in one of the ‘Stans who is naming everything after himself.

      We simply don’t have that form of Government but by all means carry on with your ridiculous conspiracy theory.

        Maybe not successfully “be” but not beyond his trying.
        He has no respect for truth or law.
        Or tradition … or common decency.

          Carry the torch you gaslighter. The American people have been gaslit for over three years now.

            Oh dear – the orange Messiah clocked in at over 35,000 documented lies. Remember Infrastructure Week? Trump kept promising but never delivered. Biden made that happen with bipartisan support. And funny how MAGAs who voted against it now take credit.

    Nonsense. Project 2025 is the MAGA wet dream to finish the destruction of democracy. It gives everything to the plutocrats who own and control what’s left of the party. It has Trump’s paw prints all over it.

    Read it. It’s even more scary than previous Heritage Foundation blueprints.

    The Heritage Foundation is a domestic terrorist organization.

    Project 2025 =
    Protocols Of The Book-Learned Fringers Of Fascist Conservatism

    • Impeach Biden

      July 5, 2024 at 7:31 pm

      Fascism eh? That’s kind of a WW2 / 1940’s thing right? But keep that torch lit you gaslighter

    EVERY accuser, EVERY embarrassing problem —>
    “I have never met that person before, I know nothing about that problem.”
    Same lies, every time.

  • My Take

    July 6, 2024 at 3:46 am

    The TRUMP-MAGA Project 2025 for American fascism.

    Others may draft the blueprint but Trump will be the builder and operator.

    Like Rick Scott’s plan, or Newt Gingrich’s strategy to let social security wither on the vine, given the power these things will become reality.

    And the same folks who told Trump who to put on the Supreme Court will be calling the shots again and Trump won’t even know it.

    The same guy that knows nothing about the proud boys or what happened on Jan 6th is playing coy. Locking kids in cages isn’t exactly a moderate position.

  • My Take

    July 6, 2024 at 11:40 am

    Will they have ” T” armbands?

    • My Take

      July 7, 2024 at 10:30 am

      And will the “T” or the armband be gold?
