Actually Trump repeatedly said he didn't know about project 2025. He's so scattered in his campaigning that it's possible to pretty much justify any action as "what he said he would do." But saying executing project 2025 is exactly what he SAID he would do defies all reality. It may be what intelligent observers expected him to do but it is not what he said.

Edit: good lord people I’m not defending Trump I’m saying he lies about everything including that he lied and said he wasn’t going to do project 2025. Read the post I’m responding to!

Someone is clearly pushing that agenda whether it's (knowingly) Trump or not.

Project 2025 is 42% complete, 3 months in.

People have got to learn how to read between the lines with Trump and those around him. When the things he says he is going to do and the things he’s actually doing are exactly the things laid out in project 2025, the connection to the project is immediately clear and establishes that he was lying about knowing nothing about it.

  * He said he'd end the war in a day.
  * He said he had a better health care plan.
  * He said he'd drop the price of eggs.
  * ...
  * He said lots of things that were not true.

That’s exactly right and what I said. The guy above said Trump is doing what he said he would. He isn’t.

Which doesn't mean Trump saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025 a lie.

I've never been in the room, but it's a safe assumption that he was lying.

His exact quote is: "I have nothing to do with Project 2025." Meaning sure - he did not write it. I doubt he read it - it is 900+ pages long document :-)

Anyway, he might fooled some people but I doubt - my understanding was that he is going to follow Project 2025. It is good time to rewatch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYwqpx6lp_s

I am certain you can find more than one quote of his relating to Project 2025. In any event this also doesn't disagree with what I said more broadly, which is, he was not forthright about his plan to do exactly what Project 2025 said, so you can't say he's doing exactly what he said. But anyone with a hint of insight could understand that was his plan.

I'm responding to someone who said Trump is doing what he SAID he would do, and that is all I intended to correct.
