Trump Distances Himself From Project 2025 At DNC

As the Democratic National Convention unfolds, one particular issue has been causing frustration within Donald Trump's campaign. Sources close to Trump have revealed that the constant references to Project 2025 have been a sore point for the campaign, more so than the insults or mentions of the former president's convictions.

During the convention, speakers have consistently painted a grim picture of a potential second Trump term by highlighting the contents of Project 2025. This has reportedly angered Trump, who has made efforts to distance himself from the project, despite the involvement of many of his former aides in its development.

Project 2025, a 920-page document outlining a conservative agenda for a second Trump term, was crafted by The Heritage Foundation think tank and individuals who had served in Trump's administration. Despite this, Trump has publicly criticized the project, labeling some of its ideas as 'seriously extreme.'

The repeated mentions of Project 2025 during the convention have clearly struck a nerve with Trump, prompting him to disavow the initiative publicly. The disconnect between Trump and a project closely associated with his administration has added a layer of complexity to the ongoing political discourse surrounding the upcoming election.
