The president-elect distanced himself from Project 2025 during his campaign, calling parts of it "ridiculous and abysmal."

Summary

Donald Trump, once critical of Project 2025—a conservative policy agenda led by the Heritage Foundation—has softened his stance, calling parts of it “very conservative and very good.”

Despite distancing himself from the 900-page plan during his campaign, Trump has nominated key contributors to his second administration, including Russ Vought and Brendan Carr.

Critics claim this signals alignment with the project’s goals, which include expanding executive power and limiting civil service protections.

Trump denies full involvement, while Democrats and watchdog groups argue the initiative reflects his broader conservative agenda.

    I read Agenda 47 (his official platform) and tbh it didnt sound too different from Project 2025. This should come as a shock to absolutely nobody with at least half a braincell. Lets hope that this horror show ends in four years because if it doesn’t then we can prepare for hell.
