Do you have any other sources? Project 2025 is neither authored nor endorsed by Trump. It was a Heritage Foundation conservative romper room where no idea was a bad idea, its members contributing for pats on the head, which is why it's 900 pages long.

It's Wikipedia 'Talk' page is more interesting reading than the article itself.




> […] nor endorsed by Trump. […]

The non-endorsement by Trump was a lie:

> He has also played a significant role in Project 2025, an initiative led by the Heritage Foundation that aims to advance conservative, right-wing policies and reshape the federal government.[3] […] In May 2024, Russell Vought was named policy director of the Republican National Committee platform committee.[83] The Center for Renewing America (CRA), founded by Vought, is on Project 2025's advisory board.[84] CRA drafted executive orders, regulations, and memos that could have laid the groundwork for rapid action on Trump's plans when he won.[85] The CRA identified Christian Nationalism as one of the top priorities for the second Trump term.[15] Vought claimed that Trump blessed the CRA, and that his effort to distance himself from Project 2025 was just politics.[85]

Vought has been labelled as the 'architect' of Project 2025, and has been appointed as the director of the OMB.

You really need look no further than P2025's recommendations on 'abortion' and Trump's actual track record 2016-2020 and his moderate stated positions on it, to suspect that the Romper Room is in no way being considered a roadmap. That's a big one and many Onward Christian Soldiers have been angered by it. Too bad for them, women rule! Reducing the size of the Fed and reducing its partisan component is a natural for any incoming President. He also aims to reduce the partisan lawfare component that has been used against him, instead of leaving it in place to do its thing again. Those under the Executive branch should not operate under the assumption that they are occupying forever-jobs.

But if you're being all insinuatey there's no rules, go for it! Welcome to the world of 'played a significant role in', 'could have laid the groundwork for', 'involved with' and 'claimed that', 'been labelled as'. Those are pieces of insinuate-string used to connect real things on looneyboards such as my favorite one in "A Beautiful Mind" that became a movie trope. Even Project 2025 Wikipedia is rational enough to say "Not to be confused with Donald Trump's package of proposals, Agenda 47."


> Too bad for them, women rule!

Except rule over their own body, right? Because you seem to have forgotten who packed the SC to undo Roe v. Wade it seems.
