The President’s re-election campaign continues to hammer former President Donald Trump about a conservative policy plan the Republican has distanced himself from.
“We can always rely on Donald Trump for one thing: to lie to the American people in pursuit of power. We saw that on the debate stage when he set a record. He lied about the economy, about his role in the January 6 insurrection, and about disrespecting our heroic servicemembers,” claimed a written statement from Joe Biden.
The statement went on to accuse Trump of “lying” to “hide his connections to his allies’ extreme Project 2025 agenda.”
“The only problem? It was written for him, by those closest to him. Project 2025 should scare every single American. It would give Trump limitless power over our daily lives and let him use the presidency to enact ‘revenge’ on his enemies, ban abortion nationwide and punish women who have an abortion, and gut the checks and balances that make America the greatest democracy in the world. It’s extreme and dangerous,” Biden continued.
“Trump’s conservative Supreme Court has already given him a blank check to do virtually whatever he wants with no regard for the rule of law. If he wins, there is no question Trump will use it to pass his Project 2025 agenda. Together, we must defeat him.”
Project 2025, a conservative wishlist and purported “presidential transition project,” includes proposals to bring the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation under the purview of the President, to make it easier to fire federal workers, to eliminate the Department of Homeland Security, to cut climate change funding and public health funding, and other rollbacks of expansions of the scope of federal government over decades.
Trump has said this isn’t his plan.
“I know nothing about Project 2025,” Trump posted to Truth Social. “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.”
A senior Trump advisor tells this reporter that the President speaks for himself about second-term agenda issues, or the campaign speaks, but that outside groups do not determine Trump’s path should he be elected again in November.

Trump is lying in his teeth, just like he ALWAYS does.

Biggest question is how does DJT plan to arrest, detain, and deport 11 million undocumented workers who do so much of the physical labor?

What’s Trump’s plan to end inflation?
Perhaps he will spray some of his patented InflationBeGone?
No way he’ll hammer the gougers and profiteers who are driving up the markets.

Democrats are known for their infighting. It is a serious question as to whether Biden is up to the job. He’s in a position to make that call and perhaps elevate Harris before or after the convention. Or, perhaps not.
It’s now up to Trump to pick his VP since Trump is unable to pass a legitimate mental acuity exam and, like Reagan, may well become unhinged if re-elected.
Trump’s court appointments have subverted a woman’s personal rights to control her own body, period. That’s potentially half of the electorate that has a very personal stake in who is elected.

You are so full of crap. Put them both in for a mental acuity check and I would bet the house that Trump would come out better. You acting as if Biden is mentally sharper than Trump is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read on this board and boy there has been a lot of ridiculousness here.

So if Biden is so sharp and on top of things how come his handlers gave a few questions to the radio personalities that interviewed him in Wisconsin? How come his press conferences come with a list of prearranged reporters and questions? How come he needs cue cards, cheat sheets, teleprompters and such? Why does he walk away from the podium when a non canned question comes his way. Why can’t he no longer enter AF-1 at the forward entry door and now enters on the lower level?
