« I know nothing about Project 2025, » Trump said on Friday about the ultra-conservative presidential agenda.
Former President Donald Trump’s recent social media post about Project 2025 was met with online skepticism on Friday.
Project 2025 is an initiative developed by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, to make significant changes to the backbone of the United States federal government. It is designed to be implemented if former President Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential election.
Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Friday, « I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them. »
Newsweek reached out to Project 2025 via email as well as the Heritage Foundation via online form for comment.
However, President Joe Biden’s campaign and liberal media pundits were not buying Trump’s claim that he was in no way associated with Project 2025.
Biden-Harris HQ, the rapid response X, formerly Twitter, account for Biden’s reelection campaign shared a clip of Trump giving the keynote speech at an annual Heritage Foundation event in October 2017, in which he says, « Your organization is named the Heritage Foundation because you understand that our glorious heritage is the foundation of everything we hope to achieve.which is why we need the help of the Heritage Foundation and everyone here tonight to get our tax cuts through the House, through the Senate. »
MSNBC host Chris Hayes wrote on X, « The Trump SuperPAC has run ads about Project 2025, and a ton of Trumpworld people are authors of it.
