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.

      The greatest theft is that we all collectively are being forced to burn significant amounts of our lives thinking about this man-child’s thoughts and actions. We both spend the time poorly and lose the ability to do something productive instead.

      Hundreds of millions of human-hours, every single day, wasted. It’s not crazy to infer this one person is disabling a significant part of human progress.
