  1. From the article
    > “I know nothing about Project 2025,” he said on his Truth Social. “I have no idea who is behind it,” he added. “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.”

    That’s how you know how extremely dangerous the Project 2025 agenda is. Also, that he’s all for it

    And also:
    > Meanwhile, the chief political action committee supporting Trump has been running online ads promoting Project 2025, explicitly calling it “Trump’s Project 2025.”

  2. At this point I think Trump could tell the GOP to get fucked and still win, who else could realistically beat him? And why isn’t that person running already?

  3. “I know nothing about it. I disagree with it, but I’ve never heard of it. It’s dumb, but I don’t know what it is.”

    It’s not super convincing tbh..

  4. This is the kind of thing that can bleed some support for him. The psuedo-tough guy strongman ethos means you can’t back down, and on this, he’s cornered. In a slightly more serious country this is where he’d get dragged in the media and starched in a debate.

  6. He’s against it but wishes them luck…just like he did with Ghislaine Maxwell. He plays both sides so he always comes out on top.

  8. That’s what Trump does. He just goes “won’t someone rid me of this troublesome priest” and then goes “I didn’t say to kill the priest.” Then his base eats it up. 

  9. He’s definitely lying about wanting have nothing to do with P2025 because his campaign rhetoric has already incorporated a lot of elements of it

  10. Magas, know he lies. They do not care. Other base republicans and loyal republicans know he lies but need to hear a lie to feel good about the truth they know. A good article would be an idea on how to break cycle???

  11. He’s never heard of it? The Heritage Foundation provided his administration with a list of preapproved people for Trump’s administrative staff. 66 former and current employees of the Heritage Foundation also had jobs within the Trump Administration.

    So, the think tank that worked with Trump on staffing his administration created Project2025 and Trump knows nothing about it?

    Is Trump breathing? Then he is lying

  13. It was updated with him in mind. The think tanks that wrote it aren’t promoting him for no reason. That’s where his SCOTUS people came from and overturning Roe, which will result in a national ban should he get reelected. That’s why they gave him immunity. He’s gonna need it to carry out his and their plans. At this point I think it only makes sense that Republicans need to be voted out of as many offices as possible. If not because they’re absolutely evil but because when it comes to actual politics they are entirely incompetent

  14. How bout he distances himself from this country. Go to Russia you fucking rapist.

  15. Wait so now he wants nothing to do with Project 2025? The fuck?

    What’s going on? Are cracks already starting to show because of this?

  16. All of this and he’ll enact the plan in a second. He’s still using it’s speaking point while saying he doesn’t want anything to do with it but also saying he doesn’t even know what’s on it.

    He is lying.

  17. So the old “stand back and stand by” move again.

  19. “I’m playing both sides. That way, I always come out on top.”

  20. Trump’s 2025 plan will be difficult for Trump to distance himself from.

  21. If there’s another debate, Biden should ignore every question and instead use every answer to hammer Trump with detail after detail about Project 2025. It’ll make Trump’s “immigrants bad” scare tactics look like child’s play. And fill the news cycles with it.

  23. And his first **year** saw him implement 2/3 of heritage foundation’s recommendations (the folks behind 2025)

  24. Ads? This is the kind of thing they really should be trying to obfuscate as much as possible. It should be promoted as “Make America Greater Again” or some shit.

    Although, they could just say, “Project 2025 makes libruls sad.” And it’d be the biggest boost they could hope for.

  25. “I’ve implemented 60% of it but I have nothing to do with it.”

  26. Be Ready for him to flip flop like a caught fish…

    One day he’ll be for it..the next against….depends when he last spoke to..

    But the maga crowd wants this shit….they have absolutely no idea what it means..but if Dems are against it..they are for it….blindly…
