Trump said he has “no idea who is behind” Project 2025. Here he is standing with the two leading architects of Project 2025.

Trump may disown #Project2025 but he is in FACT, indebted and beholden to the #HeritageFoundation authors We know he would be their puppet because that's exactly what he was last time. Their plans to remake our country as a Christio-fascist state, are Trump's plans. He is merely their tool.

Trump Administration Embraces Heritage Foundation Policy Recommendations | The Heritage Foundationwww.heritage.org One year after taking office, President Donald Trump and his administration have embraced nearly two-thirds of the policy recommendations from The Heritage Foundation’s “Mandate for Leadership.”

I'm pretty sure distributing fake currency is a crime. Don't suppose the @FBI are on here are they?

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

Trying to practice what I preach, I settled down this morning with coffee, to start working my way through this behemoth, with plans to highlight as I go. Boyz oh boy, I'm on page 4. of the foreword and can barely find a paragraph unworthy of a yellow mark. The whiny, victimized, build-up is intense

Read it, share it, shout about it. Their plans are right there in black and white. While SOME people want this authoritarian tyranny, the vast majority do not. Thus, EVERYONE must learn about what Project 2025 means, before any votes are cast.

Trump is trying to claim Project 2025 has nothing to do with him. It is to going to be an albatross for the GOP.

I hoped for more from the interview tonight. "Democrats’ tendency to panic is also blamed. But the problem is real. The country is talking about Biden’s mental capacity instead of the singular menace of Trump returning to power. And if this keeps up, that is exactly what will happen."

Happening here. Cannot be complacent or in denial.

March 23 1933, the Enabling Act becomes law in Germany, giving the chief executive power enforce his own laws without checks and balances. The passing of the Act marked the formal transition from democratic republic to totalitarian dictatorship. 6 months later, it was a 1 party state.

Why do Trump supporters hate our real flag and insist on flying that insurrectionist one they call a "confederate" flag?

We’re not going to let Trump deny he’s going to implement Project 2025. It’s written by people from his administration, and all about what he would do in office. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Trump's Project 2025open.substack.com We know that Donald Trump was fixated on polls Friday morning. We know that because he posted about them at least 15 times on Truth social. The horse race polls may not have been the only polling data...

We must bang on the details, not the Project 2025 name, which is too easy to deny. Let's set the narrative and keep him on defense. "The same people who picked Trump's SCOTUS nominees are now telling him to dismantle the DoJ". Then move to "unitary executive theory" etc and keep 'em dancing.

It would probably help dispel the notion that Biden is senile. And if not... oh well, nothing ventured etc

If Joe Biden shot Donald Trump on 5th Avenue while president, would he have Trump style immunity?

Chilling stuff to hear from the ideological leader of a radicalized minority. They will not succeed in their "revolution", whether "bloodless" or not. At least they're saying out loud. No-one can say they did not know.
