Donald Trump

Donald Trump questionably claims he’s an expert on everything else, but now he expects us to believe he has “no knowledge” of Project 2025 and its oppressive plans to give him unprecedented power as president. After the plan, directed by Trump’s former chief of staff, exploded online, that would make him the last person in the country to hear about it.

In his Philly campaign rally speech, Trump stated, “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying, and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.”

Project 2025: The Drastic Plan Trump “Doesn’t Know About”

Let’s break down what Trump is desperately trying to distance himself from. Project 2025 is a

922-page plan that proposes a massive expansion of presidential power. The project includes but isn’t limited to:

firing up to 50,000 government workers to replace them with Trump loyalists (JUST SICK)

National abortions ban

Birth control, IVF, and STD Testing restrictions

Patient Data exposure

Eliminating the Department of Education and free school lunch programs

Enforcing Christian principles

Removing Environmental Protection Agency and protections for endangered species

Implementing tax policies that benefit the wealthy

Weaken unions and workplace safety regulations

End FBI efforts to combat disinformation

Repeal Acts for Civil Rights, Voting Rights, Fair Housing

End gender equality protections

Getting rid of DEI workers and training programs

Criminalizing LGBTQ+ rights and homelessness

Using the U.S. military against the U.S. citizens

Yet Trump would have us believe he’s completely in the dark about it. It’s hard to swallow, especially given his past authoritarian actions and statements.

The Social Media Firestorm

What’s really pushed Trump into this awkward denial is the social media uproar. Project 2025 has been trending online and on television screens. As BOSSIP previously covered, celebrities such as Taraji P. Henson are taking part in the activism against it. 

Trump’s Ties to Project 2025 Figures

The key players behind Project 2025 are all Trump insiders:

Paul Dans, the project’s director, was a former chief of staff at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management under Trump.

John McEntee, a senior adviser, was the director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office.

Russ Vought, a significant contributor, is on the Republican National Committee’s platform writing committee.
