Donald Trump<\/strong><\/p>\n

Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0questionably claims he\u2019s an expert on everything else, but now he expects us to believe he has \u201cno knowledge\u201d of\u00a0Project 2025<\/a>\u00a0and its oppressive plans to give him unprecedented power as president. After the plan, directed by Trump\u2019s former chief of staff, exploded online, that would make him the last person in the country to hear about it.<\/p>\n

In his Philly campaign rally speech, Trump stated, \u201cI know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they\u2019re saying, and some of the things they\u2019re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Project 2025: The Drastic Plan Trump \u201cDoesn\u2019t Know About\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s break down what Trump is desperately trying to distance himself from. Project 2025 is a<\/p>\n

922-page plan that proposes a massive expansion of presidential power.\u00a0The project includes<\/a>\u00a0but isn\u2019t limited to:<\/p>\n

firing up to 50,000 government workers to replace them with Trump loyalists (JUST SICK)<\/p>\n

National abortions ban<\/p>\n

Birth control, IVF, and STD Testing restrictions<\/p>\n

Patient Data exposure<\/p>\n

Eliminating the Department of Education and free school lunch programs<\/p>\n

Enforcing Christian principles<\/p>\n

Removing Environmental Protection Agency and protections for endangered species<\/p>\n

Implementing tax policies that benefit the wealthy<\/p>\n

Weaken unions and workplace safety regulations<\/p>\n

End FBI efforts to combat disinformation<\/p>\n

Repeal Acts for Civil Rights, Voting Rights, Fair Housing<\/p>\n

End gender equality protections<\/p>\n

Getting rid of DEI workers and training programs<\/p>\n

Criminalizing LGBTQ+ rights and homelessness<\/p>\n

Using the U.S. military against the U.S. citizens<\/p>\n

\n

Yet Trump would have us believe he\u2019s completely in the dark about it. It\u2019s hard to swallow, especially given his past authoritarian actions and statements.<\/p>\n

The Social Media Firestorm<\/strong><\/p>\n

What\u2019s really pushed Trump into this awkward denial is the social media uproar. Project 2025 has been trending online and on television screens.\u00a0As BOSSIP previously covered, celebrities such as Taraji P. Henson are taking part in the activism against it.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s Ties to Project 2025 Figures<\/strong><\/p>\n

The key players behind Project 2025 are all Trump insiders:<\/p>\n

Paul Dans, the project\u2019s director, was a former chief of staff at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management under Trump.<\/p>\n

John McEntee, a senior adviser, was the director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office.<\/p>\n

Russ Vought, a significant contributor, is on the Republican National Committee\u2019s platform writing committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
