    The obvious play here, if the Dems actually gave a shit about winning the election, is to jump on this not as a lie, but asking why Trump would forget about working with Project 2025 despite there being clear proof, is his mind going? That leaves his only response being “no, I didn’t forget, I was deliberately lying” which digs a deeper hole.

      I like that plan. Good grief, I hope some speechwriters for Dems are reading things like Lemmy…

    Knowing that Project 2025 is extreme is knowing SOMETHING about it, which is also not nothing.

    Checkmate, Trump.

    It seems like it is just a new PR name for what the status quo has been trying to do for decades[1].

    If I understand the commentary from sources correctly[2].

    Sources:

    1. https://lemmy.world/post/17333868
    2. https://lemmy.world/post/17479789

    “Like some on the right, severe right, came up with this Project 25, I don’t even know, some of them I know who they are, but they’re very, very conservative,” Trump said. “They’re sort of the opposite of the radical left.”

    “You have the radical left and the radical right and they come up — I don’t know what the hell it is, it’s Project 25,” he continued. “‘He’s involved in project — and then they read some of the things and they are extreme, they’re seriously extreme.

    “But I don’t know anything about it, I don’t want to know anything about it.”

    Project 2025 is led by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, and more than a dozen former Trump administration officials.

    The document includes plans to expand his executive authority, replace civil servants with loyalists, crush abortion rights, attack civil rights for LGBTQ+ people and impose an anti-immigrant agenda, among other policies.

    He also claims the plan is “extreme,” but the document mirrors several policies the former president himself has endorsed.

    “Project 2025 will not be ‘stopped’ by an unserious, mistake-riddled press release or a task force of House Democrats lacking a basic understanding of federal governance,” Roberts said in a statement.

    A raging narcissist doesn’t know about or like a plan that installs 20,000 people loyal to him and him alone to allow him to do what he wants regardless of the constitution?

    I don’t think this guy is being honest with us.

      I’m going to be that guy that doesn’t read the article, but how would someone know something is seriously extreme if he knows nothing of it?

        Even assuming he’s clean (HA!), what kind of leader keeps surrounding himself with people that just happen to go to jail or get put under criminal investigations constantly?

      I mean, maybe he doesn’t…

      We already know he doesn’t read and if he can’t brand it as his idea, the BEST idea, then why would why he care? Doesn’t mean he won’t follow the policy as he’s slowly fed the talking points by his ‘advisors’.

    Trump has tried to distance himself from Project 2025, but it is clear that he supports and is supported[1] by Project 2025’s many authors[2] including his own press secretary and many members of his cabinet. He has, for example, called Project 2025 “our agenda”[4] and is personally mentioned hundreds of times in the document. By the Heritage Foundation’s own count, Trump already implemented a majority of their recommendations during his last term [3] and 81% of Project 2025’s authors held official appointments in his administration[5].

    Does he also claim he “doesn’t know her” when it comes to Roger Stone, Bannon, Steve Miller, Gorka, etc…?
