If you enjoy looking at historical parallels, Mein Kampf will be 100 years old in 2025.
Trump is trying to claim that he knows nothing of his own Mein Kampf – Project 2025 – which I think of as Mein Trumpf. He said on his failing "Truth Social" platform that he knows nothing about Project 2025 – but then said he disagrees with some of the things they say.
That's a typical half-baked Trump prevarication. How can he disagree with them if he knows nothing about them? 🤨
In reality, members of his administration and MAGA political operatives have high level connections to Project 2025. Trump himself has appeared before the Heritage Foundation which is the leading group behind Project 2025.
Laura Barrón-López of the PBS NewsHour exposes the Trump connections and talks about the blatant authoritarian objectives of Project 2025.
Trump 2024 vs. Project 2025
His campaign denies anything to do with the blueprint for a second term, but Trump’s alumni are all over it.
Of the 37 authors of the project’s core agenda, 27 came from Trump’s orbit, including prominent figures such as former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, former acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller, and economic adviser Peter Navarro. Even more former administration and current campaign members helped craft other portions, like John McEntee, the former director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office, who served as a senior Heritage adviser working on personnel for a second term. McEntee said in an interview this year that while he had not coordinated directly with the campaign, Project 2025 will “integrate a lot of our work with them” once Trump assembles an official transition team.
“It’s totally false he doesn’t know what P25 is,” one former senior adviser said of Trump’s remarks. “Privately, he is of course talking to Heritage, and [Heritage president] Kevin Roberts has reportedly even met with Trump on P25.”
The Trumpsters even have an affectionate acronym for it: P25.
The aim of the authors of Project 2025 is to permanently install MAGA-style government in the United States. We shouldn't let them.
