There was no GOP party platform in 2020, and Trump wants to shrink the proposed 2024 one. He opposes providing detail on how radical his second term will be because he knows its unpopular.
Make no mistake: Project 2025 was written by Trump appointees & loyalists. Its their shared agenda.
even trump’s campaign staff (i assume he didn’t write this) knows that the reactionary, authoritarian agenda that’s project 2025 is going to be unpopular with the average voter.
All of these guys leading Project 2025 were Trump White House officials. Paul Dans was closely involved in implementing Schedule F. The head of Heritage, Kevin Roberts, was selected as a pro-MAGA leader. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-public...
A key player in Project 2025 is Trump's former Director of Presidential Personnel Johnny McEntee. He is doing for Project 2025 what he was doing for Trump: screening federal employees for political loyalty.

There are others Trump appointees, including Ben Carson and Peter Navarro, involved in Project 2025, plus a bunch more. This is why headlines like this, while accurate, are misleading and serve as stenography for the Trump campaign.
The thing about incessant liars is, they can say anything they want any given moment, and then turn around and say the opposite when it serves their purposes. Trump has normalized this within the MAGA movement.
And Valerie Huber, the anti-sex-ed advocate who was the HHS Special Representative for Women's Health under Trump, has been very busy meddling in other countries' abortion laws. She's an author on 2025 and promoter of the anti-rights Geneva Consensus Declaration.
