    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?

    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].

    “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.

    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.

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