The former president effectively ā€œbirthedā€ the project. Now that itā€™s a political liability, one of Trumpā€™s foot soldiers is out of a job

As he enteredĀ the final stretch of theĀ 2024 presidential race,Ā Donald Trump spent much of this month trying to disown the highly Trumpy,Ā Heritage Foundation-ledĀ Project 2025Ā ā€” to the point that he even got his fansĀ to booĀ the initiative during a recent campaign rally. His protracted freakout over the conservative project ā€” to which he has multiple direct ties, and which is only as extreme as it is largelyĀ becauseĀ of his influence ā€” is driven almost entirely by Trumpā€™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 ā€œI know nothing aboutĀ Project 2025, [and] I have no idea who is behind it,ā€ he added, ā€œI disagree with some of the things theyā€™re saying, and some of the things theyā€™re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.ā€ He did not specify what ā€œthingsā€ he meant.

    Their focus is so honed into the ā€œDr Feelgoodā€ bullshit of owning their opponents, that they canā€™t possibly see him absolutely not fucking it up a second time

    Sure, but grammatically this is saying they know he will fuck up a second term, are you claiming he didnā€™t do project 2025 stuff to begin with?

    Trump has stated he wants to end democratic election.

    Thatā€™s it.

    Full stop.

    Thatā€™s the beginning of project 2025, him getting elected, all the rest just follows.
