Trump's Camp Says It Has Nothing to Do With Project 2025 Manifesto -- Aside From Writing It
Trump's Camp Says It Has Nothing to Do With Project 2025 Manifesto -- Aside From Writing It
Trump administration officials and campaign staff helped draft the controversial playbook and appear in its videos.
“I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal,” Trump wrote. “Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.”
Trump’s vague disavowal of Project 2025 came a few days after Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, made inflammatory statements about a coming “second American Revolution” that would be “bloodless” “if the left allows it to be.”
“As we’ve been saying for more than two years now, Project 2025 does not speak for any candidate or campaign,” the Project 2025 account said in a statement on X. “But it is ultimately up to that president, who we believe will be President Trump, to decide which recommendations to implement.”
Despite Trump’s claims to have “nothing to do with” Project 2025, his administration and campaign personnel contributed to the project, including Karoline Leavitt, his campaign’s national press secretary, as the Biden campaign quickly pointed out on X.
Former Trump administration officials wrote and edited massive chunks of the manifesto. One of its two primary editors, Paul Dans, who directs the Heritage Foundation’s 2025 Presidential Transition Project, served as the White House liaison for the U.S. Office of Personnel Management during the Trump administration, among other positions.

Lol. Trump trying to lie about what he is going to do if Trump takes office. What policies do you think Trump has that are different from the policies outlined in project 2025? He must think we're all idiots
He doesn’t think we’re all idiots- just the ones voting for him. He knows they’re easily manipulated. He knows they’re uneducated. And he knows they are many.
EDIT: looks like one of his coward minions predictably downvoted this without a rebuttal.
Yup, they believe in him unquestioningly. He can say two opposing things one after the other, and his voter base will believe both things he says. It's insane.
It's called a cult
It's too bad their cult does not involve abstaining from sex and cutting off their own nuts.
It does, just for the "bad people"
I shared the actual PDF with my mother and father, and they told me it was "liberal propaganda". Funny thing is, they aren't uneducated or stupid. They've just had Fox News and conservative talk-radio playing in the background of their lives for 20+ years. It's actually really sad. They used to be Hank Hill type conservatives, now they refuse to even entertain opinions (or facts, for that matter) that they don't already believe.
My dad is the same. He’s full blown MAGA. most of the family won’t talk to him anymore. He’s obnoxious and insulting.
Don’t worry, I just downvoted You for being a whiny little bitch about downvotes.
They’re fake Internet points get a fucking life
Cool story. Bye!
Removed, civility.
Fair enough
These people are committing the Cardinal Sin of interacting with Donald Trump, though: telling him what to do. There's a tiny chance that even if he is elected, he might fully ignore this list out of spite.
If you want Trump to do something, you need to convince him that it was his idea all along.
My personal belief is that what we see listed above is tame compared to what Trump actually has planned. I mean he has a history of getting away with shit, so there's really no reason for him not to go full evil villain.
He must think we’re all idiots
Well, he did say he loved the poorly educated.
