Several key former members of the Trump administration are involved with the project, including Stephen Miller.

    “I know nothing about Project 2025,” Trump claimed on social media, referring to the 922-page plan put forward by a group of conservative organizations led by the Heritage Foundation. “I have no idea who is behind it.”

    I believe him. he probably thinks it’s the working name for Trump Tower: Riyadh, and he knows better than to announce that just now.

      If you believe anything that comes out of Trump’s mouth you are a clown and you deserve whatever you get.

        I think you missed the part where the reason for believing him is because he’s a total moron.

        also, you should believe him when he says he’ll overthrow democracy again.

          The dude lies about shit that doesn’t matter or even make sense if his mouth is moving he is lying. But oh yeah he wants to be king without a doubt.

    Sort of like a five-year-old covered in crumbs trying to distance himself from the empty cookie jar.

    It was written for him and with numerous contributions from his former staffers. And it all hinges on him doing exactly what he’s already repeatedly said he intends to do - making himself a dictator, surrounding himself with only the most loyal people, and using the justice department and the military to go after anyone who might oppose him.

    He’s in it up to his eyeballs - he was just hoping he could get away with it, and is now afraid that maybe he can’t. So he’s resorted to his customary fallback position - brazenly lying.

      Trump is in it for himself, no one else.

      If these 2025 people make him look bad, he’ll drop them without even blinking.

      So I think this case it’s “sincere.” Sure he will lie through his teeth about not knowing them, but I think he really, sincerely does not care about their agenda beyond whatever helps him.

        Oh sure - I have no doubt of that.

        I don’t think he has either the brains or the attention span to play a long game. I say often (and did obliquely in that last post) that he has the emotional development of a spoiled five-year-old. That’s not just a derisive turn of phrase. He really does. He never outgrew that stage when he was taking toys away from the other kids in kindergarten and saying, “Mine!”

        So yeah - I don’t doubt for a second that he’s sincerely trying to distance himself (at least publicly) from those fucking Project 2025 Christofascists. They’re making him look bad, and he can’t abide that.

        The rather obvious and entirely predictable lie is that it never had anything to do with him.

        That and the implication that they still won’t have anything to do with him should he win. I would absolutely guarantee that if he wins, he’s going to follow their playbook to the letter, because it (likely not coincidentally) will give him exactly what he wants - absolute power with which to impose his will and punish his enemies.

        Absolute power to take toys away from the other kids in kindergarten and say “Mine!”
