Trump has publicly rejected Project 2025 as Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has sought to tie him to some of the plan’s most extreme proposals. But in private, Vought said that those disavowals were merely “graduate-level politics.”

 

Vought said his group, the Center for Renewing America, was secretly drafting hundreds of executive orders, regulations, and memos that would lay the groundwork for rapid action on Trump’s plans if he wins, describing his work as creating “shadow” agencies. He claimed that Trump has “blessed” his organization and “he’s very supportive of what we do.”

 

“Eighty percent of my time is working on the plans of what’s necessary to take control of these bureaucracies,” Vought said. “And we are working doggedly on that, whether it’s destroying their agencies’ notion of independence … whether that is thinking through how the deportation would work.”

Trump claims not to know who is behind Project 2025. A CNN review found at least 140 people who worked for him are involved

July 11, 2024

 

...

Six of his former Cabinet secretaries helped write or collaborated on the 900-page playbook for a second Trump term published by the Heritage Foundation. Four individuals Trump nominated as ambassadors were also involved, along with several enforcers of his controversial immigration crackdown. And about 20 pages are credited to his first deputy chief of staff.

 

In fact, at least 140 people who worked in the Trump administration had a hand in Project 2025, a CNN review found, including more than half of the people listed as authors, editors and contributors to “Mandate for Leadership,” the project’s extensive manifesto for overhauling the executive branch.

 

Dozens more who staffed Trump’s government hold positions with conservative groups advising Project 2025, including his former chief of staff Mark Meadows and longtime adviser Stephen Miller. These groups also include several lawyers deeply involved in Trump’s attempts to remain in power, such as his impeachment attorney Jay Sekulow and two of the legal architects of his failed bid to overturn the 2020 presidential election, Cleta Mitchell and John Eastman.

How Project 2025 would change American life

Jul 20, 2024

 

...

"Critical federal programs meant to support people experiencing economic hardship and children living in poverty would be significantly overhauled or eliminated under the plan."

...

"The foundation wants to end another key federal program: Head Start, which offers free early childhood education, health and nutrition services to children from low-income families."

...

The plan calls for caps to how much federal funding states may receive to help pay for Medicaid costs, though it doesn't specify how such caps would be determined.

• The caps would ensure that federal Medicaid spending does not keep pace with expected enrollment and health care cost increases, resulting in a significant cut to funding over time.

How Project 2025 Turned Into the GOP’s Biggest Political Loser

It’s also become a major liability for The Heritage Foundation — and staffers at the conservative think tank know it.

August 16, 2024

 

There’s a good reason Donald Trump and his campaign are so desperate to distance themselves from the classified-sounding “Project 2025”: The Heritage Foundation’s blueprint for a second Trump administration is politically radioactive.

 

A Democratic operative who has seen private polling on how a number of issues could move the 2024 presidential election — like health care, the economy and immigration — told NOTUS that, improbably, no issue was benefiting Democrats more than Project 2025. And, predictably, Democrats are capitalizing on the unpopular plan.

 

Democratic lawmakers and campaign operatives are trying to attach Trump and Republicans to Project 2025 at every opportunity, which, it turns out, hasn’t been too hard. According to Rep. Jared Huffman, the founder of the “Stop Project 2025 Task Force,” one of the reasons they’ve had such success connecting Trump to Heritage’s plan is because voters intuitively believe the former president would institute many of these proposals if he gets another chance in the White House.

PROJECT 2025:
Unveiling the far right’s plan to demolish immigration in a second Trump term

 

February 2024

 

Key takeaways
The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 is the policy playbook for a second Trump administration, and its impacts on immigration would be far more complex and destructive than previously reported. It isn’t simply a refresh of first-term ideas, dusted off and ready to be re-implemented. Rather, it reflects a meticulously orchestrated, comprehensive plan to drive immigration levels to unprecedented lows and increase the federal government’s power to the states’ detriment. These proposals circumvent Congress and the courts and
are specifically engineered to dismantle the foundations of our immigration system.

...

In preparation for a 2025 presidential transition, the Mandate proposes overhauls to nearly every federal agency and includes over 175 immigration provisions. Unlike in the previous years when immigration policy changes were relatively insulated, Project 2025 elucidates how the administration would halt legal immigration, centralize power in the federal government, decimate privacy protections, and risk American security and prosperity, all in pursuit of a political obsession with immigration.

...

The far-right has a political obsession with immigration. While they wield it as a rallying cry and a scapegoat, the recommendations outlined in the Mandate are incongruent with the “safety” and “security” talking points. If implemented, the Mandate would pursue the destruction of programs and laws made to promote public safety. It would disadvantage our economy as competitor nations scoop up the top talent the U.S. abandons. It would block millions of Americans from higher education and foster a society that is inherently less safe and offers fewer opportunities. The Mandate’s suggestions are theoretical for now, but as we march towards the November elections and a potential Trump second-term, the threat of their enactment is very real."

Trump went to North Korea

This is where they make themselves despicable: they come up with these things and when the media reveals them for what they are they say "What?  What's that?  Who, me?  I never heard of this!"  Like the little kid with crumbs all over his face who says he didn't eat all the cookies, but there is no mirth to it.  Sneaky little rats who think they are so clever.   But outside the brain trust (that is sarcasm) and circle of support they look like cowards and charlatans, which they are.

So secret that seems everyone knows all about it. IMO someone is creating a fake organisation to try and scare the sheeple.

 

Everything about it seems ludicrous, so likely it is. The sheeple will be lapping it up though.

Your conspiracy theory would require thousands of bureaucrats to implement, so where are they all hiding?

 

Even if there were a shred of truth to it there is a small matter of the constitution. Unless the authors of the conspiracy theory envisage a coup, it's just unable to be implemented.

 

"centralize power in the federal government, decimate privacy protections"

 

Yeah right. Does any person with a modicum of common sense think that is even possible?

After Harris take our oath will the new plan be called 2029 maybe?

Probably, it was Project 2020 last time. It is nothing new, it's just that leftist fearmongering is making a big deal out of it. 

 

As a leftist, you should hate it. 

 

As a liberal, I like most of it.

Project 2025 was written by people who would be working for Trump in the government if he were elected.

Why does no one on the left actually want to discuss Project 2025? It's probably becasuse (like everything else) know nothing about it. 

 

I wonder what it's like to not be able to formulate an argument and be relegated to having to regurgitate party talking points and post links.
