Summary

Following Donald Trumpā€™s election victory, Republicans are now openly embracing Project 2025, a policy agenda from The Heritage Foundation that outlines sweeping conservative reforms.

Despite Trumpā€™s attempts to distance himself from the project during his campaign due to its extreme proposalsā€”including expanded executive powers, a national abortion ban, stricter contraception limits, harsh immigration policies, and the elimination of agencies like the Department of Educationā€”his allies quickly began celebrating its implementation.

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and commentator Matt Walsh publicly affirmed the agenda, signaling the GOPā€™s commitment to enacting these controversial policies in Trumpā€™s second term.

        Itā€™s because he maintained plausible deniability, no bribes or kompromat necessary. Fact checkers couldnā€™t definitively say he supported project 25 because he feigned ignorance.
