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.”
The 922-page plan 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.
The Democratic National Committee said the plan and the Trump campaign are part of the same “MAGA operation.” A Biden campaign spokesperson said that Project 2025 staff members are also leading the Republican policy platform.
“Project 2025 is the extreme policy and personnel playbook for Trump’s second term that should scare the hell out of the American people,” said Ammar Moussa.

Do 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.

Trump doesn’t want to be Hitler.
Trump wants to be Putin.

Putin respected Trump. Putin and many others do not respect Orange Joe. I give you the invasion of Ukraine and Israel and Iran launching air strikes in Israel as a few examples. After 8 pm when Orange Joe clocks out, that’s when the games begin

You’re crazy. Putin respects no one. Trump was nothing more than a useful idiot to him. He’s a brutal dictator. Anyone who Putin in high esteem is a traitor to the US.

Trump-MAGA’s 2025 FASCISM PLAN gives mainstream media a great topic to belabor … for a long while one hopes.
Minor gaffs and rumors of replacement have run their course.

The news is awash with Trump-MAGA-Project2025.
These Friends of Fascism are ALL plotting against America … together.

The architects of the radical right wing PROJECT 2025 are intrinsically tied to Trump’s White House cabinet and appointees. The orange clown is simply an implementation tool for Project 2025. Trump is fully aware of the Project’s design process and potential.

Anyone who listens to the anti -Trump propagandists, are damn fools. But then they believed Biden was competent until the Leftist media could no longer lie incessantly about Biden, after the debate.
My suggestion, wait for Trump to announce his plans sfter he wins the epection. He is the most Patriotic President (his policies confirm it) we’ve had since Eisenhower!
