The former president effectively “birthed” the project. Now that it’s a political liability, one of Trump’s foot soldiers is out of a job
As he entered the final stretch of the 2024 presidential race, Donald Trump spent much of this month trying to disown the highly Trumpy, Heritage Foundation-led Project 2025 — to the point that he even got his fans to boo the initiative during a recent campaign rally. His protracted freakout over the conservative project — to which he has multiple direct ties, and which is only as extreme as it is largely because of his influence — is driven almost entirely by Trump’s fear over one thing.
When the twice-impeached ex-president and convicted felon took to social media in early July to make the (patently absurd) claim that “I know nothing about Project 2025, [and] 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.” He did not specify what “things” he meant.
He can say whatever he wants because the non-maga republicans will say “oh he doesn’t like it, he changed his mind” and single issue vote republican. If he wins and gets to office and puts all those things into effect he lied and said he didn’t like, jokes on them.
Maga chuds just like whatever he likes. If they love it and he says he doesn’t, no worries because they’ll flip at the drop of a hat. If he gets to office and acts on implementing it no worries either because they’ll flip again and make up some bullshit about how they knew from the get-go because it’s “part of the plan”

Trump’s ENTIRE message is “I might do this, I might do that”, and then hold for applause. This is what his followers don’t understand. They think he has the same ideals as they do, but they don’t understand he’s just a clown chasing applause.
They saw his first term, and realized he wasn’t going to do Project 2025 stuff, and they immediately turned on him. Even his VP pick. Their focus is so honed into the “Dr Feelgood” bullshit of owning their opponents, that they can’t possibly see him absolutely not fucking it up a second time.
Fool a fascist once…

…did I miss something?
No. They are dead, dead wrong
Yes, they’ve been trying this shit for years: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025

Sure, but grammatically this is saying they know he will fuck up a second term, are you claiming he didn’t do project 2025 stuff to begin with?
Trump has stated he wants to end democratic election.
That’s it.
Full stop.
That’s the beginning of project 2025, him getting elected, all the rest just follows.
Thanks, but I was talking about the “turned on him” part lol
Their blunder was that they wrote it down. Liberals don’t usually watch his speeches but are more literate. /s
In no place does Trump specify which ideas he disagrees with in Project 2025. He just doesn’t want to be associated with it. He is not really disavowing the ideas though, AFAIK. And at least for the anti-choice people, Trump has done much that is in line with Project 2025. And he mirrors many of their ideas on immigration.
we can’t promote this, I won’t get elected.
“But it’s your platform.”
can we just lie all the time? that worked well last time…
When Trump has become the “more” sane one in the room.
Kind of a stunning level of self awareness for Trump…
That’s not self-awareness, it’s just throwing his people under the bus if it becomes politically expedient to do so
